I mostly agree and welcome your point, but as a footnote, I feel what complicates things is that music (like all art) is both a technical craft which can be rated somewhat objectively in terms of technical merit, while also being subjective in "judging" its cultural significance, evocative nature etc etc.

Not just that. Where the music comes from is also important. For example, a traditionally masculine music genre being suddenly performed by a woman, and performed well, will stick out. See Queen Latifah as an example.
