Honestly, musical structures =/= entertaining music. Most people listen to music for entertainment. Musical appreciation is what you're talking about, and that is generally reserved for musicians themselves or people who give a shit.
I personally am a musician who gives a shit, and I agree that everything in modern music hearkens back to African tribal drum riffs.
However, musicians mostly make music as a job, and as most consumers are 12 year old girls, the evolution of pop. It's kind of like artistic Idiocracy.
