This argument is the equivalent of, "I don't like Jazz, because I hate Smooth Jazz". Gotta separate the wheat from the chaff.

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.

bdp24 - great post on Americana. |
The reason you say that modern country is the "worst music ever" is because you grew up loving that genre and it hurts to see how it has been poisoned by rampant commercialism. "Music" executives have done to country music what they always do. They try to dumb everything down to make it palatable to as wide an audience as possible. That is all they care about. Not the quality of the music or the history of the genre itself. That being said, it's not even close to the worst. Rap is the king of bad. |
