The reason I use theme songs is to often compliment the situation my characters are in, so one such example would be if Kurokawa Tadayoshi and Ikiryō Kuragari was fighting a powerful opponent, I would play their theme when say they started to push their enemy back, as the music compliments the actions that the characters are taking. Due to this I have never given a character of mine a general theme, the theme is always linked to something that happens (bankai, vollstandig, team strategy etc.)

A theme song that explains the character themselves is good also, but my problem is that I tend to find theme songs like that having a very hard time fitting into certain situations, sure some work but still it's a risk.

In conclusion I agree with you saying that too many people just use an awesome song because it's awesome, but I must disagree with you saying that themes must reflect their personalities solely, it must also convey the situation they're in, it's all fine and good having say, a sad song to reflect a character's tragic past, but that sad song does nothing when that character overcomes their difficulties in a tough situation.
