Explain?

Because there are guys that are old, like willie, still touring and putting out albums.

Same with Hank Jr.

So if it wasnt dead then then how is it dead now with these guys still around?

And Strugill is still one of the best out there period. Not just country.

Covering “Cover Me Up” is just absurdly odd.

Sturgill Simpson has made 1.5 country albums (MMSiCM is incredible, HTM is meh), the rest are garbage and not in the genre of country

Tyler Childress is pretty great, as is Vincent Neil Emmerson and a handful of others, but the list is pretty short

Exactly, some even died from it, or commit suicide, Just like with any other fricking genre of music.

George Jones had been sued into bankruptcy so much for missing so many shows due to being drunk and high on blow, he was literally paid in blow by show promoters so the bank couldnt take any more money he made to pay back his creditors

I see girls with tattoos,
good ol' boys in cowboy hats
I see a few soldiers here tonight, "Welcome Back"
We got some country-arse, beer-drinkin', hell-raisin' go-all-nighters
We got some dirt-turnin', diesel-burnin', hard-workin' nine-to-fivers
[Chorus] Talk about a tough crowd Make you wanna turn it up loud
Raise the roof tonight and make the red, white and blue proud
Yeah, here's to country strong
I wish y'all could see y'all now
Talk about a tough crowd

That's AWFUL

ChatGPT wrote that when asked to come up with lyrics to a modern country music song

ETA: lmao here is what ChatGPT came up with

quote:
write a modern country music song

quote:
Verse 1:
I grew up in a small town, where the fields were wide and green
Where everybody knows your name, and they're all a part of your team
But I packed up my guitar and headed out to chase my dreams
I left behind the simple life, for something that's not as it seems

Chorus:
I'm living in the fast lane, chasing down the fame
But sometimes I miss the days, when things were just the same
I'm singing my heart out, to crowds that I don't know
But when I'm on that stage, I feel like I'm finally home

Verse 2:
I've played in every dive bar, from here to Tennessee
I've sung my heart out, for the people in the back who couldn't see
I've been on the road so long, sometimes it's hard to breathe
But I wouldn't trade this life, for anything that I could conceive

Chorus:
I'm living in the fast lane, chasing down the fame
But sometimes I miss the days, when things were just the same
I'm singing my heart out, to crowds that I don't know
But when I'm on that stage, I feel like I'm finally home

Bridge:
I may not have it all, but I've got a guitar and a song
And I know that I'm not alone, as I travel along
I've met some amazing people, who've helped me on my way
And I know that I'll keep singing, until my dying day

Chorus:
I'm living in the fast lane, chasing down the fame
But sometimes I miss the days, when things were just the same
I'm singing my heart out, to crowds that I don't know
But when I'm on that stage, I feel like I'm finally home

Outro:
I may not know where I'm going, but I know where I've been
And as long as I keep singing, my heart will always win
So I'll keep on chasing my dreams, with my guitar in my hand
And I'll keep on singing, for as long as I can.
