I think your learning methods are pretty common. From cracked software to experimenting and copying. The way you think though I feel is a step up.
Its easy to crumble under small amount of plays but you’ve framed it in a positive way which I think can benefit others too. It’s all progress.
Also realising how genres set expectations is really aware. I think most don’t put that kind of thought into it. It’s a good challenge to try sticking to a genre. You can explore its confines and edges.
Where are you based? Maybe someone on the same wavelength will see your comment one day and reach out. I struggle somewhat with the IRL componant of finding musicians with similar personal mindsets to me too.
