Rascal Flatts

There were others around this time. Early 2000s
Also what happened to good women country singers? They’ve disappeared. There were a ton in the 90s like Reba, Pam Tillis, Judds, Terri Clark, Martina McBride, Leanne Rimes. It’s like women stop pursuing that genre

Any that are successful move into pop full time
They can appeal to a broad audience and keep their female country audience. They probably never relied much on the male country audience to begin with, so losing them by going full pop isn't a big deal.

Faith Hill’s “This Kiss”. Before that song she had an accent and actually did country music. That song had a pop version and slightly less pop version. It was a hit on the country music charts and everybody tried to recreate that garbage. Around that same time Shania Twain started doing pop songs that got nonstop airplay on country radio as well. Next thing you know country radio was full of groups like Rascal Flatts.
Around 1998 country music started its steep decline to where it is today.

A lot of purists thought the Outlaw movement ruined country music.
At times, Waylon’s band resembles a jam band. Far from the waltzy Hank Williams Sr. stuff. Hell WJ wrote songs responding to the people who badmouthed the Outlaw style and image.

Well put. Music’s supposed to evolve. This last trend needs to die

My theory is that the women can make a lot more money going pop - see Taylor Swift. But the labels have steered them into godawful songs that either have barely understandable lyrics or are simply the female version of bro country.

Modern music is just really formulaic now, especially if its on the radio

Chesney and Paisley aren't the worst offenders (and Paisley is a genuine musical talent) - but they both participated heavily in the move toward selling tropes and bumper sticker slogans as country music. Which I would argue paved the way for what we see now - selling this generic crappy lifestyle country music over and over in repackaged form by inauthentic dudes.

Agreed, however some of his old stuff is not available on Itunes and I can't find it anywhere. This includes the original version of South side of heaven.

Martina McBride
she's an example of what I blame garth for. She was a pretty, talented artist singing songs that were closer to traditional country music when she started. AS she gained success, she cut her hair and started singing songs about women's rights. Her schtick became more about societal issues than the regular good time music you'd hear from Patty Lovelace or Lorie Morgan. Shania and Faith evolved similarly.

Garth Brooks time frame.
i consider Garth Brooks the Obama of country music.
Garth was a little poppy, but still had some decent country roots. but his success ushered in the success of people like Chesney, Jason Aldean, FGL, etc..
Obama wasn't ridiculously woke and was actually barely left of center for the most part (in 2008 at least.) but his election ushered in a complete leftist lurch.
there's still some decent country out there, most of it just doesn't get airtime.

Never heard this one. I am not a Cash fan but this seems silly.
You have to consider context. In the 50's this wild, drunk, pilled up, trouble maker was the icon of Country. All old people didn't want their kids looking up to this idiot. Its always about perspective.
