I spoke to Guetta only 6/8 months ago and he was very respectful -
actually voiced concern that the young 'big' DJs don't know the
history of the music (a protege didn't know Lil' Louis' French Kiss)
and he thinks the US media covering 'EDM' should be better educating
the masses about Detroit, Chicago...
To be fair, he is not wholly fluent in English and I think it often
happens that he and some others express themselves badly. Also he may
have said that as part of a long quote and they just truncated it, I
can't say, but it happens now in a lot of media, so it seems abrupt.
I know at least one huge Dutch house DJ who didn't know who Juan
Atkins is.
Also Guetta is hardly a babe - 40s, came up with Garnier, Mayday
knows him.
Happily The Presets rave about UR in their interviews with Who
(People) mag, etc...

'For [David] Guetta, dance music’s newfound popularity can only be a
good thing. He won’t convince everyone, but few in the industry
would
deny his phenomenal success in the US has given the industry as a
whole a healthy financial boost. “Listen, some people take
themselves
very, very seriously,” Guetta says. “I’m not a politician, you know
what I mean? You remember in the old days you had people like
Underground Resistance?” [a late 80s militant dance collective from
Detroit]. He pauses and smiles. “I never took myself so seriously.”'
WOW.
