So they're talking out of their own ass.

Define your parameters for what a 'good musician' actually is.

For me a good musician is someone who plays songs in a way that they show a balance of the ingredients of what's needed to make the song work as well as being open to many different styles of music and a good understanding of popular culture and the zeitgeist of what's around them during that particular time.

I mean if someone thinks that sort of musician that treats music like video game achievements and thinks that playing power metal solos at 3 times the speed makes them a good musician then they're free to think that too, just don't expect anyone older than someone who's gone through puberty to take you seriously.
