that's so piglet of you to say
I'm usually looking for something particular but otherwise vague. Like bands that use a pipe organ which leads me to find a ton of bands that didn't "make it" yet all of these bands sound like a clone of the most popular bands during the period.

No I don't think anything "good" requires an art defining or describing a period of time. More often good things transcend the period of time they were created in. To the extent that they do reflect a period of time it's because other, lesser artists followed their lead, over-saturating the art with a particular style for a period of time.
A great artist may define or describe a period of time incidentally, but you can be good without inspiring copycats, even if copycats are generally a sign of something being good.
tldr The cause of being good isn't that it defined/described a time. That's the effect if anything.
