I don't think the parallel quite fits.
There's always resistance to new genres of music. Rock'n'roll was considered evil, a bad influence on children, by the establishment of its day. People didn't like electronic music because they thought it wasn't creative enough, and that it was just "noise".
AI generated music -- at least the current iteration of it -- is different. For the most part it's created in order to flood platforms with low-effort content in order to win advertising dollars. It's spam, plain and simple.
I'm not saying that all AI generated music is spam, or that it won't turn into an art form that people appreciate. But right now, the majority of it is not the result of creative endeavor. EDM and other new genres didn't really go through this initial spam period.
