Modern country is trash. The few good artists are outweighed by massive amounts of poser wannabe fake-rednecks who act like they're reading from a Country checklist.
✓ less-than-subtle product placement for Yeti 110's, Chevy Silverado's, and "beach vacations" south of the border.
✓ singing about listening to songs on the radio
✓ drinking: on a plane, pontoon boat, during the day, or by some "neon" (then because the writers push alcoholism so much, they feel obliged to write clunky lines like But give up your keys. Hell why drive when you can stay with me?)
✓ if you're a girl, write about how awful the men are in your life and write lyrics that justify whatever bad thing you want to do to his life/property
✓ if you're a guy, write love songs about how non-aggressively and consensually you escalate physical relationships while telling the girl she's unconditionally beautiful
Have you ever heard of Ryan Upchurch? He does country, rap, and rock. I don't normally listen to country, especially modern country but I like his stuff. He lives in Tennessee and as far as I kno is completely independent.
Not a fan of his "rap music", but Rollin' Stoned is in my playlist. Hank 3rd has some good music, Billy Strings can tear up some bluegrass. Other than that, it's Hank, Hank Jr, DAC, Johnny Cash, Merle, Waylon, Willie, Johnny Paycheck and some odd ones thrown in for variety. My 9yo sings along with DAC and Hank. Trying to raise an ass-kicker in a soy boy world....
If you like that song, you'd prolly like some of his other country music. This isn't a song but he just posted this video and it's extremely relevant to everything being talked about here. Thought you might like to see it.

This is what happens when corporate America gets a hold of music.
ALL genres, not just country.
