IT's because it is pushed more than the other genres, marketed more. Trash music. Rural Georgia has better music.

I ain't so sure it has anything at all to do with it being pushed, I suspect it has more to do with demographics and the age of people who actually buy music and concert tickets. The world is pretty chock bock full of 15-49 year olds and they listen to hip hop. I agree, rural Georgia has excellent music and not all of it is country or southern rock...lots of blues and r and b in Georgia that is really good. Heaping pile of country hip hop coming from rural Georgia as well...because young people like it. I don't listen to it very often but some of the older stuff is great...but I am 58 years old, I pay for XM and go to a couple of concerts a year and listen to a lot of local live music...I am not what one would call an important demographic for the recording industry...
