A major problem with fools is that they are not capable of knowing they're fools. And as long as 'CREATIVITY' is rewarded and worshiped, even in a tiny way, we will have to listen to throwaway music. This is true with the "FOLK" genre. It's cheaper to produce, and a lack of quality/talent/professionalism is often expected. Folk music used to be made/played for one's enjoyment, not to sell.
