I think the music analogy to the kit lens would be a badly tuned piano.
A good musician will quickly recognize the problems and work around them,
but a well-tuned piano will help any musician, good or bad,
realize and develop their potential.

With bright oblique lighting that produces good modeling,
or just a few light sources against a dark background,
at focal lengths shorter than around 40mm.
Also close up.
Under flat lighting conditions of any intensity,
or when you have to jack up the ISO
to get usable results at low light levels.
That is true of many lenses at a wide angle,
but is easy to fix when the distortion is not wavy or mustache-shaped.
Along with the distortion and vignetting correction,
the images often need a boost in color and clarity,
but that can quickly lead to an artificial, overdone effect.

The kit lens can give you good photos in favorable light.
But a great lens gives you good photos when the light isn't so favorable.
