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.

I dunno. Billy May. Prog. Ken Nordine. French Rockabilly. There are a few things that I believe may sound worse. Either way, an aesthetic judgement that I may normally keep to myself. Everybody’s got their thing. It’s one thing to pass judgement on the sincerity of the option, but not the opinion itself. 
 

I have about 6 bands the significant other puts on the do not play with her around list. They are Slapp Happy, The Butthole Surfers, Shake Chain, Marina P, any band with Lydia Lunch, and Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Makers. Judge away.
