I was the same way. But then Gary Newman blew me away. It was so different and was still rock. Reminding me of Bowie in the Eno days didnt hurt either. Synths give you a lot of freedom to create and are especially superior in creating a mood IMO. The number of sounds you can make without being strapped to a piece of wood with strings makes them a game changer. It's still art. At the speaker end, it's all just vibrations. So to me, synths are totally valid in music. I have a really crazy synth tune in the crockpot for a while now because I'm sort of missing this stuff from my diet. Ive been on a hard rock kick for too long.
