Now I will readily acknowledge that its probably not for everyone and that it just does it for me but there is literally not a single thing about it that is remiscent of modern mainstream aka "lame stream" country music...... At all.

how in the world is that even anything close to nashville pop country

deadmans blues is about literally living out of your car on the road for years and the fans who vicariously live through those same songwriters.

I'm pretty sure 80%+ of Country-pop singers in the past 10 years have a song with that exact story.

care to link some?

Can't remember the names, but I know that Jason Aldean and Jimmy Wayne both have songs like that, to name two off the top of my head.

And that makes it non-Country-pop how?

Wait.....


You're saying the fricking MURDER BALLAD uses the same exact lyrical themes as mainstream Nashville pop?

When you show me a billboard charting country murder ballad from the last 5 years then and only then will I stop laughing at you.

You're not very smart. He was arguing that no Country-pop would be about that theme. He was wrong.

how am I moving the goalposts?

You said mainstream country. Mainstream country not only resides on the billboard charts it fricking DOMINATES them. So if this is such a common trope in mainstream country music surely you can point out one murder ballad on the billboard country 100 from the past 5 years, right?

Of course not.

You said it was regularly occurring theme amongst a genre that dominates the billboard charts. If that's the case you should have no problem finding one such example from the billboard charts.

But hell I'll move the goalposts back in so you don't get confused any worse than you already are. Link me one country pop murder ballad of the last 5 years. Please.

+1

This PSA should be about Jason Eady's new album, "Daylight & Dark" because it is the only other album of 2014 that holds a candle to Metamodern IMO

Eady's is amazing but I think I like Lydia Loveless Somewhere else more than his.
