I don't know that the analogy holds up on either end. Like Zangulus says, a band is more about the performance.

But I kiiiiind of agree that if the cosplayer isn't making the clothes, designing the outfits, doing their makeup, or doing anything other than just wearing it, they're not a good cosplayer. They're just a specialized fashion model. That said, I don't know enough about the cosplay scene to know if there are a lot of famous cosplayers who do nothing themselves.
