Since at least the 80's, pop country has become a countrified regurgitation of the previous decade or so's pop rock.
80's pop country = 70's pop rock
90's pop country = 80's pop rock
Modern pop country = 90's and early 00's pop rock (horrible rap-rock included)

Good examples. Early 80s country was absolute shite as well. Songs filled with horns. Not actual horns, keyboard horns - See Swingin', Elvira, Bobby Sue, etc.

CMT fricked up country music a long time ago.
I briefly gazed at the CMT Awards last night...my two teenage boys put it on while they were flipping channels just to get my reaction (this is their favorite past time right now...getting Dad riled up and watching the fallout)...anyway...I watched for like 20-30 minutes...which was about all I could stand...and the end result was...I didn't hear or see not one country artist.....not one. That is the issue. CMT and the executives in Nashville killed it. For all the reasons Kingbob expressed earlier.
$$$$$$$$ and greed folks.
Whitey Morgan, Strugill Simpson, Shane Owens, Chris Stapleton, Cody Jinks, Blackberry Smoke, Holly Williams, Kacey Musgraves, Jamey Johnson, Jason Boland, John Moreland, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Ryan Bingham, Shooter Jennings, Turnpike Troubadours, Old Crow Medicine Show, Jason Isbell, etc....just to name some of what's in my Spotify catalog.
Plenty of Country/Americana/Folk right there to keep me happy without turning on fricking CMT or country radio. FGL can kiss my arse.
Where it goes from here is a revolution imho. People are getting tired of that shite country...it will come back around.

Brooks & Dunn seemed more poppy than Garth to me. Boot Skootin Boogie? Even songs like Neon Moon seemed to be upbeat even with sad lyrics.
Sammy Kershaw probably started the stupid cheesy trying to be funny non genuine country music with videlia, john deer green, third rate romance.

Neon Moon is a all time great heartbreak song. I don't take it as an upbeat heartbreak song and B&D didn't veer too much into pop country. They just didn't have a stripped down sound to them and didn't utilize steel guitars too often in their hits.
