Learn songs you love, regardless of where they come from or whether they fit in the "right" genre. Then make them your own. Don't try to categorize yourself, don't categorize others, and don't judge people who like different kinds of music than you do. It takes all kinds to make a musical world. But don't go to a bluegrass jam and try to impose your jazz licks on the rest of the room. Find (or create) a jam that's a good fit for you and don't be self-righteous about your music or technique or instrument. Be welcoming of others, even if you can outplay or outsing them, hands down.
