@taxonomy Fox News.... is that all you've got?
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.

@onhwy61 “Musical labels are for record companies and radio stations marketing efforts.” Thank you. |
It was the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo LP that made me get beyond my hatred of Country & Western and begin to love it more than I rightly should. I might say, too, that somewhere down the line I bought a banjo. I still play it more than I ought to. I play it both Bluegrass Style and in the Old Time Frailing style. And oh yeah, Old Time frailing enthusiasts absolutely despise the boing-dee-boing-dee-boing bluegrass style. They consider it slickster sacrilege. Bluegrass banjo players, meantime, mostly consider Old Time banjo playing to be charming if a bit quaint. Can't we all just get along? |
