I think the argument can be made that they're to blame Get down turn around

I dunno, but man is it an awful genre.

This is an important question. Whomever is responsible should be recognized and shamed appropriately.

I don't blame Brooks and Dunn. That remix wasn't their doing.
I think we should explore this though. Honkytonk-badonkadonk by Trave Adkins might be the start.

I don't think so. I wasn't a fan of them then but I like them now. Looking back to their songs in the 90's, it's pretty good. I blame Kenny Chesney

More modern than that. I blame those no talents Rascal Flatts.

I really think early Luke Bryan slowly became bro-country. No doubt the worst genre of all time.

Legit candidate for worst song of all time.

Waylon and Willie started the whole thing. Blame them. It started with Luchenbach, Texas.

They definitely "bro"-ed it up a notch, but that distinction goes to Garth Brooks.
However, if anything, Nirvana is responsible for Bro Country for moving mainstream rock music away from anything popular with teenage girls. When rock wen completely underground around 2005, there was still a subset of musicians who loved classic rock, wanted to play something that would get them laid, and were willing to sell out. The kids playing Bro country today are the ones who would have been playing Nickelback 10 years ago, pop/punk 20 years ago and would have been playing Hair Metal 30 years ago.
White Women crave a main stream, commercialized electric guitar genre which talks about nothing but romance and sex that they can dance to. Bro country simply fills that void since Rock doesn't right now and hasn't for years. Heck, a lot of the bro country musicians used to be in acts like Staind.

Blame Wendell mobley and Neil thrasher. They are the ones writing 90% of the trashville bro country the last 7-9 year.

Helped with Pop Country not Bro Country
A founding father has to be Kenny Chesney

Nirvana is responsible for it to some degree but so is hip hop that drove millions of young, white male listeners away from pop radio.

Country music already had an infrastructure of radio stations across the country. So a new style was created, labeled as "country" and played on these stations. The MOR audience had something to listen again.
Like the Hollywood El Lay "yacht rock" of the '70s -- rock for people who wanted to party and live the rock lifestyle, without actually listening to rock music -- this is country music for people who don't like country.

I don't know about all their bro country origins or whatever.....but "Neon Moon" is an awesome tune.
