  Isn’t that just the “default” rhythm for most music?

    Why though!?

      It’s just easy and intuitive. It’s a steady beat, and then you halve the intervals and halve those again.

      Triplets are also quite common.

    But what’s appealing about it? What’s to like!?

      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.
