Hat Act Edit Meaning

1.

a term used by critics to describe the bland, generic, formulaic, assembly line, manufactured male country music performers that have dominated country radio for at least the past 10 years. They are notorious for their 30-gallon hats. It's a real challenge to tell these performers and their songs apart.

Keith Urban and Eddie Rabbitt are not hat acts. They'll be remembered 20 years from now.

See corporate, country, generic, formulaic, unoriginal
