Who's correct - me or my teens

I'm not sure this is the right forum, but I couldn't find one for 'political correctness.
We had a discussion at dinner the other night. Throat singing came up. I don't know much about it but I find it to be a strange sound, and I expressed that opinion. The teens (15 and 13) looked at me in horror. They said I cannot say that because it's disrespectful to the indigenous communities that sing this way. I was EH?? I questioned them and it all blew up into this heated discussion about how could I not know this was disrespectful etc etc

Was I disrespectful or is is reasonable to express that opinion?

I'm feeling the generation gap..

And by that OP I didn't mean they don't have the knowledge or words to express themselves, just that what they are saying is a bit ridiculous, so there's not really any way to explain it.
