I don't much care for radio bound pop country nor country in general but I do love me some good old fashioned blue grass. If you haven’t heard “Will the Circle be Unbroken” by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, do yourself a favor and have a listen. I’m not a fan of Hank Willians…so why do I get tears in my eyes every time I hear “ I’m so lonesome I could cry”. Music can move us in mysterious ways. When Rap/Hip hop first hit the air waves, it was fun and fresh but it quickly devolved and descended into the dark, almost sinister gangster vibe of today’s rap. I try to keep an open mind about music of different genres and will give a listen to any song…at least a few bars before I move on.
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.
