What I'm describing is probably underrated, I just thought the point should be made.
Agree, although I'd put it this way: The overrated/underrated issue can be summarized in that said band/artist are recognized and thereby judged for the wrong reasons.

Underrated = When a certain part of, or the whole, output and/or artistry is bypassed by the public in general and/or the general fanbase and instead gets a hard time based on overexposure of a certain other part of the output, alternatively not being recognized at all.

Overrated = When a certain part of, or the whole, output and/ord artistry is lauded by the public in general and/or the general fanbase, albeit unproportionally to the actual artistic value and/or musical significance of the output.
