Sonic Youth influences are okay when there's an attempt to take them to a different level and not just blindly copy and paste. As Rob said, Polvo are a good example, they took SY-like alternate guitar tunings and used to create a wholly unique and original twisted trademark sound. There's nothing wrong with this approach.
Generally, I guess, bands that listen to Sonic Youth and use them as an influence, aren't usually the dumbest ones and try to come up with something new.
Like, can you think of one band that got inspired by their sound and totally fucked it up?
