I meant it mostly in jest. Most of the rich synth kids I've met have been rich kids in the rave/burner scene that got so into the music that they wanted to make it but didn't know how to play any instruments, but I'm sure there's plenty of synth hoarders at the fancy schools.
If I had the money I'd probably be one myself. I love blinkenlights and analog electronics and electronic music, but have zero musical talent.
