I agree with you for the most part but, being a father of 2 young boys, I have learned to be more tolerant of them. It takes a while to develope sophisticated musical tastes. My kids started out liking Aqua and the Spice Girls, then moved on to Blink 182 and Linkin Park, and are currently into the "punk" scene with Green Day and Sum 41. Only in the past year have they begun to appreciate the more accessible prog bands like Spock's Beard and Dream Theater. They call AM crap but then again I am old.
My kids are probably younger than the group that you are referring but I think that the same mechanisms are at work there. You have to realize that TOOL is to them what King Crimson was to us: music for the few enlightened ones.
