Imitation is being rewarded. They're learning that if you fit right in the mold, you get rewarded. Music is no longer a form of expression - it's a means to a lifestyle.

sue Me Rumi

If true;
'Imitation is the highest form of flattery'
A wretched man of such an awful crime is me
This rueful poet stands before you guilty
So with much remorse I say 'Sue me Rumi'
