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.

While you are right, modern corporate "country" is horrible garbage and a insult to ear drums, it isn't the worst, that goes to reggaeton which could be used to torture people

It might be easier to just post "corporate auto-tuned music is crap".

It's going to be really interesting once AI systems start spitting out music. 

Memorable moment from the Homer & Jethro Live at the Country Club album:

(after playing opening song)

Homer: "We only know two songs, and always play one of them first. Which one should we do next?"

Jethro: "Let’s do the other’n"

Genuinely funny guys, great entertainers, and talented musicians.

As I've stated before, my daily search for intelligent life often begins on this forum.

Thanks for not disappointing.

@skyscraper +1.

Rather disappointing display. It seems pretty clear that most are not even aware of what they are putting down.
