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.

@behagal,

You must have missed the Superbowl halftime show the last couple of years. 

That said, there is NO "modern music" genre that is any good.

I conducted a quick poll of my rowdy friends and ex’s that live in Texas and they disagree with you. Oh, yeah, they said to "take your opinion and shove it!"

 

It's pretty funny to see the old guys defending low quality country music by claiming rap is worse. Great stuff. 

Everyone has their own tastes in music. Enjoy what you like…I certainly do. 

The only person to get "Ice cold beer" right was Geddy... but then again, I'm a little biased towards my favorite little band from Canada.
