There are only two kinds of music.
The kind of music I like, and the kind of music I don't like.
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 would add that Americana (which I love) is not the only genre with quality country music. What I call "outlaw' country is very good - think Hank Williams Jr., Osborne Brothers, Chris Stapleton, Waylon Jennings, Townes Van Zandt, etc. You can find the genre represented very well in the movie Hell or High Water (produced by Nick Cave) or on SiriesXM channel called Outlaw Country. |
