a talented musician worthy of note gets attention because of the music they create not because of the genre it happens to fall within.

A lot of bands view genres as an opportunity of expression and use it has a vehicle to launch from. Another obvious examples was Wire. The crappy bands are the ones you're referring too, which I just filter out. Regardless of the quality of music, which is a subjective judgement, the genre (sub) still exists and continues to influence other bands as well as future genre (sub) that haven't been created yet.
