I mean at this point, Dev might as well be in a tribute band. He might even learn the charm in playing interesting music if he picks a good group.

You have a very strange manner of criticizing things you don't like. What isn't "genuine" about following your muse? What you are saying here could just as easily be applied to you....hell, it could be applied to anyone who has built any kind of career in music.
Here's a real world example for you: the founding members of Dream Theater all studied at Berklee College. Love them or hate them, they can play circles around pretty much anyone. They chose to go into progressive metal (which in 1992 was not exactly a super profitable genre of music) instead of a genre you might love. Going by what I've seen you post though, I guess they aren't genuine either.
