Does that make it generic tho? I can't think of a lot of modern genres of music that haven't been influenced by the Blues. I can even listen to metal and hear the influence. In fact, Angus Young said in an interview once 'Hey I'm just playing 3 chord Blues really loud.' A lot of the electronic music I create, draws inspiration from Blues and a lot of other genres.
If you like it, and it resonates with you, listen to it. It doesn't make you or your music generic. Personally, there are not too many sub genres of music that I don't like. Some that come to mind would be Pop Country, tho I do enjoy older country like Outlaw Country, etc. Mumble Rap would be another, even tho I really enjoy old school rap, east coast vs west cost, G-Funk, hip hop, etc. It's not that those genres are crap music. I may be old, but I'm not that narrow minded. It's just that those genres really don't move me, and that's what music has to do...move you. Perhaps if I were 50 years younger. LOL
Music is the window to the soul and everybody's window has a different view.
