I think it goes both ways. You have wannabees and genuine craftsmen who really put a lot of effort into their work. Sometimes you have to really look at the artist, their past, their state of mind, etc. Emotion is a powerful brush when wielded by a craftsman. To a novice of a persons work, it might look like shit stains on toilet paper but behind the scene is the process of creation, what inspired them is just as important. Think more blacksmith, less jerk with a guitar trying to pick up chicks. Sometimes the jerk with the guitar makes it big. Such is life.
