This feels like where you're going wrong. I can't help but feel genre was pushed and emphasized when AR guys gate-kept. New Wave, for example, is a marketing device used to help sell stuff.
Everything is decentralized now, and there's less people trying to gin up a movement to sell stuff. Now things just move to fast to pin things down. It's Future Shock in music. We're all catching up with the new paradigm.
Most stuff that tries to be "new" sucks. It's the people just taking a little bit from Artist A and a little from Artist B that still move things forward (imo).
