Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time

@bdp24 what a great story/history lesson, thanks for sharing.

How this post turned out is a testament to those that actually care about music, and to do that, you must have an open mind.

A country show came on the radio.

Between songs, they played a snippet of a recording from a movie? a recording? a variety show? I don’t know.

Man: Tell me, what kinds of music do you have?

Woman: Why, we have BOTH kinds, Country AND Western.

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 got this,..

@jpwarren58      Dylan didn't say he was playing folk when he was amplified.  In fact he has always disliked dividing music into genres.

That's from the first Blues Brothers movie.
