This thread makes me happy, and here's why:

Because, after a couple of decades, that's sort of what we should expect - and this is good news. Not sure this ever happened to you, but remember when music (electronic or otherwise) from the 60's and the 70's sounded awfully dated in the 90's? It's only natural the same happened today to music from 20~30 years ago, specially when the gear is such an important part of the sound as in electronic music.
Technology marches on and so do music genres. Today's stale ideas were the groundbreaking innovations of yesteryear, and the beloved music from our youth isn't immune to ageing.
As for this,

What kind of dubstep are we talking about, exactly? If they listen to stuff like Ray Volpe's Laserbeam, I don't see how anything by KLF sounds scarier than the music they already listen to - except by the fact it isn't nearly as loud and compressed as most dance music is nowadays, thus sounding like something straight out of a Mega Drive than something you'd choose to dance to. If anything, the reason they may find Universal Nation something straight out of sleep paralysis is probably because it is kind of moody but lacks the oomph of contemporary brostep, which does hit way harder (bass and drums wise).
Did you show them the original version of Charlotte de Witte's rework? Mind you, the latter might have led to a better reaction from the crowd even if, understandbly, you might prefer the former.
