Country music thread

Country music is definitely not the same. You can say there have always been elements of other genres in country and you’d be correct. However, it has never been as heavy as it is today. A Sam Hunt song can be found on country radio today. If it came down to Sam Hunt and Billy Ray, I’m choosing Billy Ray every time.

I have no interest in going back to the days when we were spoon fed the music that record companies wanted us to hear. In the tik tok era we have the masses deciding what they want to listen too. It’s ok if you don’t like the style that some artists put out. That doesn’t make it bad. It just means you don’t like it.
I find it humorous when people try to grab some moral high ground on the style they prefer. You don’t like it, then don’t listen. Along with the increasing exposure to music of modern technology comes the ability to hear more from the types you like and block out those you don’t. Heck I’ve got 6 different play list for country alone. One of them is called “saw dust country” you’d probably like that one. “Beach country” and “crossover country” not so much.

Not long ago Zac Brown took a shot at another artist saying it wasn’t even country and was the worst country song he’d ever heard. The Zac did this.

The idea that country music has been the same for 53 years is asinine. All music is constantly evolving, and country is no exception. It even made significant in the ‘70 and early ‘80s that a lot didn’t like. It then changed again and again, and again, and again. Rock, blues, pop, rap, even contemporaries like jazz and R&B have been consistently evolving and aren’t what they were 50 years ago.

If people want to take a giant deuce, record it as an album and call it country, let them. Someone will like it. I can call it garbage all day. And I will.

Hey look,
Progress.
I’m sure just as many people think what you listen too is garbage and are willing to tell you so. That doesn’t make either of you right, just opinionated

Lol, I smell blood veins popping in foreheads and necks all up in this thread.

You're opinion is welcome as long as they give it to you.

Also, as far as the spoon fed comment, the least you could do is study this thread over the last 100 pages or so. The regulars here always verbally abuse anyone coming in with mainstream artists. Very little of anything mentioned in this thread gets any sort of regular airplay over radios that aren’t in Texas or Oklahoma.

I followed from the beginning. Just didn’t bother breaking up the echo chamber till I got bored elsewhere
And you can thank modern technology for you even knowing about those non mainstream guys.

Don’t know what that has to do with FL/GA line, Walker Hayes, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, new Zac Brown stuff, and others being garbage. But ok.

I never said anything about modern ways to be finding music as a bad thing. In fact, there are multiple posts of mine within this site saying the exact opposite. I’ve bashed terrestrial radio for over a decade

You guys actually kinda remind me of my childhood friends that were all about Metallica till everyone else started listening to Metallica so Metallica became sellouts in their eyes.
If it makes you feel special to listen to artists who are not mainstream then good for you. I like those guys too.
Which means you won’t like them much longer
