There are only a very few truly talented electronic producers out there and they are NOT making money off of other people's music. And most artists only make remixes for fun, and some of them happen to get popular. Very few of them are making any money off of them.

Replace the word "real instrument" with "computer program" and what you said is no less true. The REAL electronic artists, don't just get up on stage and press play, they mix the song live using sounds they have created.

yea, but still, you could know NOTHING about musical theory (scales, notes, modes, progressions, etc..) and still be able to make electronic music, and mix music...
I don't know if you see where I'm going here
