It's not, it's just a poppy version of "Cajun" music which itself doesn't have a firm definition. Zydeco took the elements that define cajun music, the tempo, the accordion, the washboards, the refrains, and simplified it into a contemporary pop format - verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus. That's all it is. To claim it's some deep ancestral music is more than a stretch.
I don’t really agree.
If you baws really want to know about zydeco, listen to JB and MC on Zydeco est pas Sale, tomorrow at 8 am on KRVS.
Then listen to Marche Matin on Sunday and hear the difference between zydeco and Cajun.

I think you have a better read on this topic than most in this thread.
I live states away and listen to JB and MC web stream often.
Cedric has a great program called La Nation Creole.
What I think most don't know is the roots of Zydeco coming more from "Jure" music than any Cajun influence. Zydeco is an almost exclusively black creole invention.
