I think what makes the average stuff from their favourite genre tolerable to people is that it has some musical element that is less prominent in other genres e.g. a jungle fan wants to hear breaks 90% of the time; a happy hardcore fan will put up with inconsistent vocal performances in exchange for speed and endless cheesy riffs; guitar genre fans are hooked on particular guitar sounds that predominate in each.
Finding the musical element that you like the most is easier than finding the best in a genre - another reason why people get locked in early.
