With a lot of the music played on tv and radio, sure. Same old recipe where friendly corps are trying to capitalize on "pop music" they can pump out with their many song writers, hand crafted stars, contracted labels, and the handful of companies that own every radio station across the country. Never been a good barometer of where everything is headed IMO. There seems to be this resurgence of not-that-stuff coming out.
