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.

@bdp24 excellent post.

Also, always cracks me up when people have to go out of their way to let us all know how much they hate rap (not to mention the hilarious and original addition of a "c" to make it say "crap" that is just so edgy!). Please tell us all the other stuff you dislike, it's truly fascinating!

My daughter in law loves the current country and western music, and after an hour of listening (sort of)to the music I ask her why is the same singer performing all the songs, as they all sound the same?  All is not lost because of new musicians like Billy Strings  He's killer on the flat top guitar  

Y’all took the trolls bait. 

or we highjacked the thread and turned it into a lively convo

Absolutely, they are sub genres of music I love that I can not listen to, there are talented artists in every genre and that is a fact. The lesser talented artists usually resort to any and all means to hide this fact.
