How did country come to this?

What the hell happened here?
MOR disappeared from pop radio. What was left was rap and teenypop. Something had to take it's place.

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.
