I support what you say in some threads but then you say things like this:

Don’t know about any of that but I do know the Atlantic council which has a bunch of cia members on its board, use musicians to push cultural agendas in foreign countries to serve the geopolitical interests of USA and nato etc. Which was funded by USAID.

Look up dua lipa Atlantic council Mike Benz

Reality is that country music seems to be the new "rap" music. Aka what young kids listen to

I think gm, ford, anheiser busch, and possibly exxon are funding the new country boom



When you go back to 2015 when country wasn’t relevant you may have predicted that the kids would be into electric cars and weed in the year 2026 but now it is all dirt roads, trucks, and beer

The new rap sucks and the big rappers aren't putting out good music. Drakes last album flopped. Rick Ross album just only sold 26,000 units. Most rap now is mumble.

I’d push the number up to “since 2016” but he is technically correct



This new “sober” fad has hit the once burgeoning alternative country scene like crack hit Compton in the 80s except worse

I went on Apple Music to try to find an example of what I mean, this was in their “best new songs” for hip hop. I don’t understand why people would listen to this, I feel these rappers are indistinguishable from one another and the songs all sound the same

I actually started noticing it with the Saints locker room and the god awful songs they play, can’t we get some DMX or some shite after a win?? It’s more likely to be this

This is why rap's popularity (especially via traditional metrics) is fading, not because of USAID funding levels

JFC that is absolute dog shite

I have Apple Music and it is decent for discovering (Spotify is allegedly better) but I started listening to "Caffeine Country." While there are still some mindless country songs about dirt roads, cold beer and trucks, you can find some gems.

Probably right, at least the old heads had some reverence for rhyme and lyrics

You can say the same of all of the Luke and Bryan and Combs combos in country.

Rap is kind of a retro act right now. We could also ask why 50s greaser rockabilly isn't big anymore. Time marches on. It may cycle back around, but the wheel has turned.

You could but they’re individually famous and thus distinguishable in some ways at least.

I couldn’t name or identify any newish rapper, like carbon copies

Truly

There is so much good music now it’s really hard to keep up. And the “you might also like” aspects to iTunes mean you have almost limitless sleuthing capacity.
