  Well, 4/4 is definitely the easiest to dance to. It’s also the easiest to ignore in lieu of whatever else is going on musically. It appeals to the lowest common denominator. Not that 4/4 has to be boring or predictable.

      Not really. Whether or not a piece of music is boring has very little to do with the time signature.

      It’s more like a framework.

      Perhaps it’s also boring that most paintings are done on rectangular canvases, but I don’t think a painting necessarily gets particularly more interesting by being done on an oddly shaped canvas.

      Predictability can be important in music, depending on what you’re doing. If the audience can’t follow your rhythm, they won’t enjoy the music. I assume you’re a different audience, that’s fine too.

      Having a boring rhythm doesn’t mean the rest of the music has to be boring :)
