Perhaps by grading the creativity of the steps.
In the case of Eurobeat, it is, by definition, generic. Eurobeat is a genre with such specific criteria as to what makes it "eurobeat" that it is impossible to say it's "not" generic.
It's like saying "This rock song is generic because, like every other rock song, it has a bass guitar." I mean, in theory you could live without a bass guitar, and some songs don't have it, but a very high percentage (I would venture to say there are very few that don't have one) do, and you would be hard-pressed to find a rock song without one.
I agree with jesterline; I believe your judging was somewhat flawed in that you picked apart things that are set in stone. That would be like saying "the pope? wearing his pope hat? blasphemy! 4/10!"
And that's somewhat irrelivant as is; if you're going to dock points for using songs in certain genres, it helps if you at least know what they are. Classifying all electronic music as "techno" really exposes your ignorance in that regard.
And yet with all that said, it doesn't really matter as the judging is pretty much set in stone; no one here is going to admit they're wrong, especially if they're being regarded as "an expert."
All I ask is that in the future, you judge what you were brought here to judge: step quality.
