re: Zac Brown and Gary Allan on the state of popular country music

The only problem I really have is that people have become content with this style of music, no matter the genre. Example: I have a cousin who claims to be a musician, lives in Nashville, the whole nine yards and acts as though this bland/unoriginal style of music is actually good. Hell, half of this person's "original" material is lifted from others "original" material.
ETA: I guess my point is, so much of this type of music has been shoved down peoples throats to the point where they have actually fooled people into thinking it's good music.
