I can give you a few examples of contemporary music where the accordion is used. Not sure if they could be called prominent accordion genres, but have a look:
Styx (Dennis DeYoung) â prog rock/soft rock - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9Qs8-BkiLw
Calexico â tex/mex/indie rock - [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unnh0T2Ftro"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unnh0T2Ftro

The Decemberists (Jenny Conlee) âindie folk/rock - [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR9DjdMrpHg"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR9DjdMrpHg
