There actually a ton of really good country music out there just not on the tradional radio stations or award shows.(Minus a few exceptions)
Get an internet subscription to spotify or something like it and I promise you will find plenty of good New music..
Texas regional radio top 100 is a good place to start looking as well for singers and songs of music you enjoy.

Depends on how old you are. Some say Johnny Cash ruined country. Some say the pop'ness of 80s Country. Some say Garth brooks ruined Country. Some say introduction of rap ruined Country. The only real constant is that Old People HATE New Country.

Well, country music was always sh*t so...

People live to say Garth Brooks but that is a dumb and lazy take. His sound was still very country, his look was country. He jus t put a bigger emphasis on performance and had a few political views that weren’t straight right wing.

Because the early 90s is really when country was finally shifting away from Waylon, Willie, and the boys and pop country was starting to become popular. Garth leaned into it 100% with No Fences and all albums after. He wasn't the only one but he was the biggest.

I like him, but Dwight Yoakam was pretty controversial form”old timers.”

Never heard this one. I am not a Cash fan but this seems silly.

Garth ruining country music really doesn’t have much to do with Garth himself. He’s the first country artist to have major cross over appeal into pop music. Country music labels saw that and started chasing the next Garth in the late 90’s well into the 2000’s.

IMO, by his third album he had become more about the show- the lights, fireworks, flying around- and using his platform for social messages as opposed to simply musing about life experiences via songs. His success led to the evolution of Shania, Faith, and male dominated groups who focused more on love songs and emotional topics than traditional country music themes. I dont deny the attention and success he bought to the country music genre, but his style led to the crap we have today.

Agree with many that you can still find good country just not on the radio. Red Dirt guys like Casey Donahue or Cody Jinks come to mind.
That said, “radio country” has become a mix of old style rock/soft rock with some pop or rap thrown in. I actually like the rock stuff. The bro country rap can die a quick death.

Garth was doing the flying around on stage before his first big hit. I saw him at a festival around 1990 before anyone knew who the hell he was. He’s always been an energetic entertainer.
His music did change by his third or fourth album though.

The truth is it just mimics its audience
If the country wasn't filled with suburban white-oakley F150 driving guys who dream of screwing a rural OT10 on their tailgate using a Yeti 110 as prop, the music wouldn't be made
