These aren't observations of "purely musical/structural elements", but
an imposition of one particular value system on music to which it is
irrelevant.

Because of the lack of demand for structural sophistication in music  
that sold well because of it's pertinence to adolescent  
sensibilities, guitar grips that happened to contain the note the  
"composer" was singing substituted for harmonic grammar based on the  
principles of functional harmony.  I could go on.  Examples abound,  
and they refer to observable aspects of purely musical/structural  
elements, not superficial questions of whether or not one generation  
accepts the rebellion of the next.
