People on FB griping about "what has happened to country music???"

They cheered up, that's what.

I like old school country just fine unless it's too maudlin, but I really like modern country. In TX the locals got me hooked on what they call "Hick Hop" which is what it sounds like - country rap. Beyonce's country album - yeah, most musicians are cross-genre and don't *just* sing a certain style.

So where are you in the country music wars? Bring it on or clinging to the classics?

I like some of but not all country music. Same with the genres. I do not like rap in any genre. It's not music. It's syncopated talking.

My shop stereo stays on Sirius Ch 62, Outlaw Country. 'nuff said.

David Alan Coe:
"I was drunk the night my momma got out of prison"
"Went to pick her up in the rain"
"Before I could get there in mah pickup truck...."
"She got runned over by a damned ole train"

Now THAT there is real country. ;-) Every topical element in its proper place.

Well, I'd have to agree with how my Uncle referred to Country Rap...just call it what it is...CRAP...
And when did 80s hair band rock & roll become Country Music?

There is a great variety of "real country" or "outlaw country"..whatever you want to call it, on Sirius ch 62. None of it will you hear come up at a CMA event.

Paula Nelson, Elizbeth Cook, Billy Strings, Steve Earl, Jason Isbell, Lucinda Williams, Willy Nelson, Jim Lauderdale, ....the list goes on and on...and that's just the ones still living and making music.

That was the closing song at one of the places I hung out in the 80s. One of the few country songs I know all the words.

I'll bet if you asked an AI to make a country/western song, it would be about losing women, hound dogs and trucks.

Unpopular opinion: Country music can eat a bag of dicks.

That's another good question:

Do you enjoy only one genre of music? Is there a genre you absolutely hate?

I like it all, from hip hop to classical to country to pop. There are certain songs and song types I don't care for - ballads :barf: whiny wimpy poopy dreck :barf: - but I like all styles of music in general, my preference being harder rock :dude:
