Those who love this kitschy schlock think it's innovative.
Pop and stadium country are no different.
I've never heard someone say they wanted to listen to pop or stadium country music because it's innovative. In fact, a hasty and anecdotal surveying of friends and neighbors says that they listen to the music because it's easy to listen to (ie unchallenging).
Yeah they want a familiar sound they are accustomed to. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Sometimes I’ll go to a fast food chain because I know exactly what to expect and I don’t have to think about it too much.
