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.

These attacks on specific genres of music just come across as arrogant cries for attention. Why else would you go out of your way on a site, purporting to be about something related to the love of music, and tell everyone else what you hate in hopes of others jumping on the bandwagon?

@clearthinker I am extremely sorry, clearthinker.  
Those words of mine were NOT intended for this user, they were intended for coltrane1, it must have been the “c” thing when I fat-thumbed my response.  
Big mistake.  
I am very sorry.  
clearthinker had nothing to do whatsoever with this conversation.  
A lesson to me on careful selection when directing my forum responses.

Thank you for the prompt response and the apology.  Accepted.

We all of us make mistakes from time to time.  I have certainly done it myself.  Once we click that doomed button, our contribution is indelible.  We feel awful.
