Why are so many people saying bad music is good?

WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SAYING BAD MUSIC IS GOOD?

Music has really reached some new lows. Why are so many people saying it's great when it isn't? Why are so many people listening to generic formulaic music and claiming it's innovative and new? Why doesn't a single person in the music press stand up for good music, and against the bad that everyone else is praising so much?
Has corporate music jumped the shark?

Consider some of these points:

This really holds up, doesn't it?

They are the Bach and Beatles of their genre.

Why yes, I do. Would you like the plans to build one?

Hope all is well with you, Steve!

Well after about 10 years I have picked up
Homebrewing again, and am starting out with 10
gallons of a triple ale in the vein of Pliny the
Younger. I'll have to play John Barleycorn when I
try it out.

You were the first person who came to my house for
the first of my gatherings in 1999 if memory
serves me. Those were great times!

I still have the "sign in sheets". :)

Say hello for me, Steve.

Yeah, lurking mostly. There are a few folks who won't transition to the
Facebook group, so this is the only place to talk with them.

Soooo, what are you doing here? :-)

Will do! The Group is alive, well and active on Facebook if you want to
connect with the rest of the gang. The EC, TX and UK Gatherings are
getting close to their 20th anniversaries.

I still remember that first NORCAL meet, pulling into your driveway, just
as you sprinted across the yard, holding chemical weapons, with a pack of
pissed off wasps in hot pursuit. :-)
