It's not so much mean as clueless. I don't know how somebody could be into Sonic Youth and not see them as a hugely positive influence. Maybe if all you'd ever heard was Confusion is Sex era stuff you might see them as dark and troubled, but at this point in their history thinking that liking their music has something to do with embracing darkness is just silly.
Not that I don't love the scary stuff like "Shaking Hell" and "Death Valley '69" but it's only one facet of the band.
Anyway, kids are almost always more open minded than adults.
