I have to disagree with you there. I was classically trained on the violin and self-taught myself piano. I've had several years of music theory. I am a working musician (although it's not my full-time job). Just so you know where I'm coming from.
DJs have a place in modern music.
The art of taking samples from an existing piece and turning it into something new is definitely viable. In fact, a lot of modern music is recycled structure and melodies from the past.
