Country music has become a parody of itself

I like older country music. My parents always played the Statler Brothers and John Denver. I do like them. Patsy Cline too.

Yeah, there some good ones on like tiktok and YouTube. I don’t know if I’d agree the quantity is higher than ever before, but there is good ones out there. Just gotta find it.

Yep, I grew up listening to what I consider was some of the best grass roots country music. I still enjoy listening to some of the newer country music, but I don't enjoy near as many of the newer songs as I did back when I was growing up. But I don't complain about it I just don't listen to near as much country music these days. I probably listen to more talk radio than anything. But that is the way life works, things change from generation to generation, and it will be that way until the end of time. People from a generation older than me probably didn't like the music I grew up listening to and the generation now probably won't enjoy the new music as much a few generations on down the road.
Charley Pride was the man. :D

Has country really gotten this bad? That should be labeled as a parody of a lot of the new so-called, "country."

Agree, but listen to Rhiannon Giddens play the banjo on the Beyonce album. Giddens is probably the absolute best unrecognized artist.
 


I really love the way Patty hums out the fiddle parts on the song.
If this song doesn't move you, I don't if anything can save you
 
Kacey Musgraves will be on Saturday Night Live this week.

It's amazing how people like Jelly Roll, DASHA and Beyoncé are the ones putting the nails in the "Bro Country" coffin.

Be happy!
Dasha just beat out Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Beyonce, Carly Pierce and others for others for a People's Choice Country Music award.
It was an unexpected but well deserved award.
 
Thank You Spotify. I have found so much amazing Country Music on it. Country Music is alive and well, you just have to look for it. To me Bro Country is on the same track as Disco was. Horrible crap posing as Grammy Award Winning music.

People that complain about country music today are just complaining to complain.

If you don't think Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, Cody Jinks, Cody Johnson, Jason Isbell and many more are damn good country artists then idk what to say.

And yes Childers' new song is incredible
