Who in the world likes this type of music?

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

When rock died, modern "bro" country was the only refuge for folks like me. That guitar driven sound backing anthemic power ballads and good ol country rockers. And some of these modern country crossovers are better than 99% of the crap you hear on the Hot 100.

this is actually true. Some of the best electric guitar tones have come out of the "Country" genre in recent years. Electric guitar is dead on US pop radio but all over the Country charts. Guitar driven Rock and Southern Rock have moved that way.

case in point...

The biggest problem with the genre isn't the music, but the hypocritical right wing values system that is pushed by it.

Back in the days of Outlaw country ( Willie Nelson, Waylon, etc) it was a much more diverse genre.

I Dream a Highway is better than any kpop song ever made.

It's like saying only people under 15 listen to K-pop.

I'm not American, so I don't know how good or bad country is.

Actually country music is hella nice

I mean listen to this masterpiece

Yeah, I don't like country music either...

It's pretty popular where I live.

Country is better than the things they listen to in my country. Most of the time it has even a message

nobody listens to that anymore (at least in my school)

Its not that bad tbf

I don't have cut cards; a good is a good song. Most (Traditional) Country isn't interesting and the twang can turn off most. I think there are some vibey gems in Country Pop when it borrows seasoning from other genres in the right way too, though. It's changing like others genre, for better and worse. If only one good thing that stays the same is that the genre hasn't forgotten storytelling; other genres have.
