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.
@baylinor I like country music (I am particular about what I do like) and I’m British. Became a US citizen a year ago but I’ve been here for 23 years so I disagree with needing to be born here. I respect that you don’t, but I’m guessing you didn’t write a post about it that basically insulted those that do. |
Bhagal you don’t know talent Period. The late great Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins Roy Clark, John Denver, Chet Atkins Charlie Pride, just to name a few not including country Rock which is another total Great category. country music is all about reliving a story through music . If you want to speak ignorance then there is audio science forum that you would meld right into perfectly !! |
@audioman58 I really like the Cash/Rick Rubin "American" series. II was Tom and the Heartbreakers as I am sure you know - and the production values are quite good. |
@baylinor I think you may have misunderstood my post. I said I respect that you don't like country music...and to clarify - I was presuming that you don't insult people that do. It was intended as a compliment not an insult by any means. |
