HeLiOn_PrImE I have to disagree with some points of your post:

Before starting I am not sure you got my point about "keyboards". With keyboard I meant PC's ones meaning the act of pressing enter button.
Also I wasn't meaning that no skill is needed to "write" a song using the PC (and by extension electrophones), and I stated that multiple times already.

They are instruments that can be used to create sound. The technology differs, but they all output sound.

Firstly a sound is not music, music is a form of art and/or culture where sounds are organized in time.
A musical instrument is an instrument created or adapted to make musical sounds. I don't use my guitar to script my server and play some music in the free time indeed. After I write some good music lines up, I can record them, and edit the song's effects using the PC, which is straightly different from using pre-rendered sounds, putting them one after the other and calling the result a song. To me music is made by musicians using their brains on musical instruments instead.

About the skill part: Wrong. Leaving keyboards aside, even if we talk about classic instruments like piano, trumpet, guitar, etc, each has its own grade of difficulty. Sofware is not different. Every advanced software takes skill to handle with ease. This includes software used for creating music. Even simple coding takes skill. Look at the dude who programmed 8 floppy disk drives to sing "Darude - Sandstorm". It's music played through programming.

I know that guy's channel, Floppotron, he is awesome. I don't know how he covers the songs, but I bet he samples the notes. Yet speaking of that song, Sandstorm, its genre is mainly played with sinthetizers, drum machines*, samplers, sequencer, vocoder and digital audio workstations. You can strive how much you can, yet these are not simple instruments and if you simply got no more electricity you suddently aren't a musician no more, because you are not a real musician as a CPU was helping you doing the job. On the other hand my acustic guitar will play careless in the dark, and probably with a better impact too. That IS what I call a musical instrument.

At the soul and emotion part, that is and will remain your opinion. Not the absolute truth. Just because you remain cold when hearing electronic music, doesn't mean that other people will or should do the same.

Likings are not to be discussed. I don't stay cold at electronic music, I stay cold at songs I don't like, as we all do. Never said people gotta hear what I hear, and indeed, I didn't state anything like that, nor which artists to hear but there are some music genres I don't hesitate from shitting on, like the trap "music", which is, as you said, my opinion.

* A drum machine means that you use no drum, but a software instead. I invite you to
1) Buy a musical instrument
2) Play it with a real drummer
3) Play it with a drum machine
4) Call your drummer friend back

It will be hard to understand if you never played an instrument before, but playing with CPUs and playing with people IS NOT the same thing. When playing live it is important how you do the thing, playing too hard for example will change the "how you feel the song", can jump a step to emphatize something the singer is telling, add remove/add notes to give different sensations and so many more. Instead a machine will just play the sound with no expression in it, the drum machine will always do PA PA PA PA PA PA PA PA PA.

I hope you got my message now, if you still don't I'll write it plain:
Musical instruments are the topic of this thread

Now for the sake of the peace I repeat that once again: my posts were simply to tell "We were talking about musical instruments".
There's a short list here.

So no pre-rendering softwares and etc.
