The great gay club music conundrum

Not a segment from Banzai, but something that has bugged me for years….
Why is most gay club music such utter utter utter poop?
I was at a club last Saturday, albeit not my first choice of place to go, but a place of good memories nonetheless….
I was given a promotional CD at the time which I have only just got around to listening to.
Now one would expect that the music on such a promotional CD would be the best stuff that this particular venue was serving up at the moment, or at least something a bit cutting edge – thus making one want to return, or hopefully encouraging new punters who hear the CD to turn up there.
Logic huh?
Then why is this CD full of lowest common denominator, dated sounding, badly produced, one trick pony, unchallenging crap?
I feel like shaking the owner and screaming at him until he lets go of 3 years ago and moves on.
This isn’t the first place that got stuck in a rut and seemed unable to move with the times, which is why it amazes me – are gay clubs fated to repeat the mistakes of their forbears?
Will somebody please explain their logic to me please? I’m baffled!
