Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time


I seriously can’t think of anything worse. I grew up listening to country music in the late 80s and early 90s, and a lot of that was pretty bad. But this new stuff, yikes.

Who sees some pretty boy on a stage with a badly exaggerated generic southern accent and a 600 dollar denim jacket shoehorning the words “ice cold beer” into every third line of a song and says “Ooh I like this, this music is for me!”

I would literally rather listen to anything else.Seriously, there’s nothing I can think of, at least not in my lifetime or the hundred or so years of recorded music I own, that seems worse.

What I would call corporate country music is pretty awful. The other side cowboy music or alt country or Americana whatever you care to call it is great.

OP did you hear Chris Stapleton sing the national anthem before the Super Bowl? He could be classed as "modern country".

Other than that, all I have to say is thanks (not) for divisive worthless post. Not a great start, perhaps Twitter is a better platform for you...

I think to appreciate country music, you would have to have been born in the USA. After all, it is the "country's" music. I was born in Switzerland, so yoddeling is closer to my blood even so I don't listen to any. I have lived in the USA for 47 years and I still completely dislike country, old and new,  nothing in it resonates to me.
