We went from Brooks & Dunn to Dan & Shay... Seriously, how do people listen to the garbage that’s being released in country music right now?

Music industry is shite right now. Money social presence only runs it so all that will make it to the top is the shite you see on the charts

Just a reflection of the degradation of society. The masses obviously accept it. Don’t be mad at the radio be mad at the bro.

Apparently, low IQ whites like them some lists of redneck items/concepts sung to an almost rap-like...shite, I don't know.

If you didn't see this coming circa 2001, well, shame on you.

Correction, it should be Dan loves Shea lol.

Country radio just plain out sucks right now. Bobby Bones is terrible. The award shows are terrible. It's just Suburban Pop, generic and forgettable, all under the guise of 'Country'.

Pop and Rap have infiltrated and made it more popular than ever. It's also the worst it has ever been.

Country music now is designed for the LCD (lowest common denominator) crowd.

It lost it's folk appeal, its soul. People have changed and are attracted to superficial pop culture. The traditional things that fueled Country music, Rural America, working class are much different than they were 40 years ago. It's more urban/suburban.

Because Country Radio shoves it down their throats like a fat dick and they gargle it up. People are too ignorant, stupid, and lazy to seek out good music. They just accept what is handed to them because it's easy.

MTV bought CMT. Then the New Yorkers who ran MTV moved to Nashville and 'updated' the product.

Not sure, I stopped listening to country radio about 5 years ago.

There are still a bunch of good country music being played but mostly online now..

Red Dirt & Texas Country is still pretty good imo. The Nashville shite is unbearable.

There's still some good stuff out there....a lot of crap to. It's not so much about the music anymore, it's more about image and the "formula." Apparently, references to sweet tea, partying, tractors and boots, are mandatory in country songs.

The industry co-opted the term “country” & applied it to some sort of pop derivative.

I just spent 3 days at the Larry Joe Taylor Fest west of Dallas. Country music is alive & well.

Add an adjective like “Texas”, Alternative, or red dirt to “country.” You’ll find some good music ... and some you don’t like.
