Cruise is a tight arse song, the remix with Nelly not the original shite.

Florida Georgia Line is the perfect mono-genre specimen.
They’re rock, they’re country, they’re hip-hop. Add some of their remixes, they could even be considered to touch on the fringes of EDM. Florida Georgia Line is all things to all people, and if you were looking for one band to symbolize the emergence or arrival of the mono-genre, it would be them. Has Billboard’s new chart rules aided in the success of “Cruise” and Florida Georgia Line? Of course. But don’t discount the commercial and cultural impact of this song and band either. For all we know, “Cruise” may have shattered this #1 Billboard chart record without the help of the new rules. It has sold that well, and stayed strong for that long.
Billboard’s chart rules are re-writing the history books.
When Billboard’s new chart rules went into effect boosting the chart performance of songs like “Cruise,” Saving Country Music put its full resources behind an attempt to persuade Billboard to reconsider some of its decisions. Much of this effort was met with apathy from music fans, including this site’s readership. At the time my assertion was this could completely re-shape the country music landscape, and result in the re-writing of history books like we now see with “Cruise.” The song trumping legacy recordings from Hall of Famers is the reason this issue mattered. Now by complaining about the rules, we look like sore losers. But nonetheless, the advantage “Cruise” had over classic country recording because of plays in the pop realm is one of the reasons we are seeing this anomaly.

Have some respect for those who've gone before, dudes.

The current state of country music sort of reminds me of where metal was in the late 1990s and early 2000s when nu-metal (metal’s version of FGL) was thriving and the entire genre hit a creative nadir…fortunately for metal fans, there was a glut of off-the-radar bands to fall back on – as with country today…it just took some searching – namely Napster – to find it.
I saw Sturgill Simpson play last month (holy shite, was he great) and was bummed that only 30-40 people were there…however, it later dawned on me that I saw Mastodon in that same town 12 years ago play for an even smaller crowd…11 years ago, it was the same deal w/ Lamb of God – maybe 25 people…but that was when metal was just starting to come out of its nu-metal rut…talented bands were out there, but it took time…over a decade later, Mastodon, Lamb of God and bands like Clutch and High on Fire are headliners and metal has become arguably the most multi-faceted genre around…there’s even a “blackgrass” (black metal + bluegrass) sound in the works…sure, metal still has a corporate component (the folks responsible for Hot Topic), but it has its place and is mocked accordingly…zero fricks are given about chart positions by nearly all of the credible labels as they follow the blueprint of the aforementioned bands – tour your arse off.
While metal has a huge advantage over country – an insatiable European market – there is such a glut of off-the-grid, multi-faceted talent playing under what arguably constitutes the country banner, that there is bound to be a shift at some point…that and easy access to info and tunes – be it from sites like this, iTunes, illegal DLs, or social media – suggests that something has to give – much like it did w/ metal over the past decade.
