It's not about whether she has the knowledge to say whether an act is good, it's about her having the credentials to say what's cool.
A 36 year old defining what's cool makes something look as far away from cool as you could get.
For a teenager it would be like their Mum or Dad hearing their music and telling them that it's got a good beat. It would almost certainly put that teenager off that act for life.
