Generally I would put it down to a genre of music to be bad. Not because it is crap in itself but because of what the artists have turned it into. For example, R&B now consists of some rapping chav with more bling than his neck can cope with and some bimbo dancing behind him in a golden bikini. Proper words are no longer used either.
R&B used to be a form of Jazz, the oldies here will remember it, the good old swinging tunes. It was basically halfway between your normal up-beat Jazz and your Blues (that's how it seemed to me anyway) but now it's just been twisted beyond all recognition.
