I grew up in the 90s. I remember baws in high school/college that prob never worked a day in their life, much less construction or at a plant, blasting country music and adopting the culture. They prob listened to rap a couple years before.
I feel the bro country started after the hair bands started fading.

pop country was starting to become popular. Garth leaned into it 100% with No Fences and all albums after.
I listen to the songs on that album and it sounds like regular country to me. His shows certainly had a different vibe though.

a few people in Nashville.
Chet Atkins and Owens Bradley were two of the few people in Nashville pushing the "Nashville Sound" or "Countrypolitan".
Upon being asked what the Nashville Sound was, Chet Atkins put his hand into his pocket, shook his loose change, and said "That's what it is. It's the sound of money".
By the late 1970s and 1980s, many pop music singers picked up the countrypolitan style and created what is known as country pop, the fusion of country music and pop music.

It was the In Pieces album where Garth made a hard turn towards pop. There are traces of it on Ropin the Wind.

Actual country is strill great. A lot of good stuff still. Go listen to Cody Johnson or Larry Fleet for example. Do not pay attn to the cookie cutter Vaginal BS they play on 100.7
This guy gets it. Don’t listen to mainstream radio only then complain about the whole genre sucking. There’s PLENTY of quality stuff still coming out.
Cody Jinks, Whiskey Myers, Zach Bryan, William Clark Green, American Aquarium, Charley Crockett, Turnpike Troubadours, Ryan Bingham, John Bauman, Adam Hood. Do I need to keep going for you?
It’s out there. People are just too damn lazy to find it. They’d rather let corporate radio decide what gets played.

I was watching the fricking CBS Morning Show the morning after the CMT Video Awards and all they showed was the black “country artist” who performed at the show. According to them, blacks are the new hot thing in country music and are taking over the genre.

Alabama started the decline. Keith Urban finished it off.

I mean I do like a ton of his work, but this is 10000% the only correct answer.
Everybody new after him took his lead into being poppy and they are all fricking terrible. So about the past 10-15 years or so.

There is still hope. I grew up on 70’s (before my time, but it was what my parents listened to) and 80’s country. Bro country tail gates and date rape EDM shite is vile. But while driving between LC and BR, I happened to find this song on the radio. This song renewed my faith that all is not lost.
This song right here.

I haven’t heard his music. Do you have a link to one of your favorite songs by him?

It went to mega shite with the bro country movement in the last 10-12 years. You had Alan Jackson and George Strait making hits well into the 2000's and some were still good country songs.
There is a lot of great new country music out there, and its gaining popularity. People like Cody Johnson (fricking incredible), Cody jinks, and Childers are getting some radio time now. The radio went from totally unbearable 5-6 years ago in peak bro country to CoJo having a #1 hit.
Its swinging back the other way!

Check out Riley Green.
checked him out. hard, hard pass. it's trite bullshite.
here is one example:
quote:
Never knew my old man's truck could even run like that
Should've known better than to take that curve so fast
Daddy pulled up, I was down in a ditch
He asked me why I did what I did
There was this girl, drink in her hand
Shootin' me a "let's get into trouble" grin
I ain't never seen somethin' so fine
And I was doin' anything to make her mine
I was out of my mind, she was out of this world
There was this girl
Some folks ask me why I still pick this guitar
They say livin' that life on the road won't get you very far
I say man you should've been down in Tupelo
Seen what was in the front row
There was this girl, beer in her hand
Shootin' me a "play a little Skynyrd" grin
She's turnin' it up, she's turnin' me on
And I'd play her anything she'd sing along
I was out of my mind, she was out of this world
There was this girl
Yeah there was this girl
Didn't know a diamond ring could cost so much (damn)
Took six months on a farm 'fore I saved up
All my drinkin' buddies still out on the town
Wonderin' why I ever settled down
But there was this girl, holdin' my hand
Shootin' me a "start a life together" grin
She's pullin' me in, she's straightenin' me out
And now I know what love is all about
I'm still out of my mind, she's still out of this world
There was this girl
Yeah, there was this girl
Yeah, there was this girl
There was this girl
CORNY as shite. he didn't even write the song. nashville picks a pretty face with some vocal talent and builds a "character" to sell records. Riley green is just like the rest. don't kid yourself.
