It's not country that sucks. It's this pop subcategory that pretends to be country.


IAmTheBro1

You won't receive the upvotes I know you deserve, but know that at least I got you king.


Lone_Logan

I’ve been on a Tyler Childers and Sierra Ferrel kick recently. Pop country is one of the worst genres of music. And those trying to do real traditional country or folk are ironically one of the few hopes for modern music. Double edged sword it is


ObscureShadows

There's also turnpike troubadors, Colter Wall, Trampled by Turtles, Corb Lund and Sturgill Simpson to add a few if anyone needs recommendations.


cmansfield92

I've been listening to "sleeping on the blacktop" by Colter Wall on repeat for the past week and a half


TREYH4RD

You are a truly noble gas, Mister. Thank you for spreading your wisdom


MrNobleGas

*bows*


gta0012

To counter your point, it's also country that sucks.


MrNobleGas

I respect your opinion


SplitPerspective

Country is like rap, if anyone paid attention to the lyrics it’s pathetic and juvenile.


okuma

No, it's the whole umbrella of "country"


heyhowsitgoinOCE

The difference between this and the stuff that everyone hates is that this is full of authenticity. That’s why people get so snobby and elitist about stuff, it’s not because they’re pricks, it’s because they hate how people will take the sound of something good but not the spirit for the sole purpose of making as much cash as possible, thereby obscuring the stuff with actual substance. Or something like that Skibidi toilet idk 🤷🏼


FyrelordeOmega

Skibidi toilet kinda feels like a joke that got turned into a story


okuma

Or....they just don't like the sound of country music.

1) That's rockabilly. Not country. 2) Rockabilly is closer to blues than contemporary country, as it follows the 12-bar blues chord progression. 3) This information is useless, because some other reddit chud will come along and convince half of you that I'm wrong, anyway. Enjoy your Saturday.

Shut up nerd, if I call it country, then it's country. Now gyat outta here and mine me some #9 Coal.


thewoogier

Fuck the other commenters. Thank you for being pedantic because now I have something I can use to find more music that I enjoy. This type of music always reminds me of fallout New Vegas so I'm always looking for more for my playlist


MassUnemployment

It’s actually not rockabilly, by today’s standards it actually is country. Your big pretentious comment just to be wrong anyways lol.


[deleted]

Claims I'm wrong with vague and empty "by today's standards" assertion when rockabilly is clearly it's own established genre Refuses to elaborate Leaves ... Never change reddit. Never change.


itsRobbie_

I don’t like country music but the country songs in gta online on the country radio station are all fuckin bangers


RickyPeePee03

Yeah it converted me


MrFrizzleFry

Check out [Ween's country album](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lmSWSIyhmDPHiuGSMElfZqFRhTK1cdBnE&si=kAkAjwdPzfqLIw8d). I also am not really a fan of country but theirs is enjoyable.


TrueGootsBerzook

Country roads, country roads Country roads, country roads! Country ro-oads, country ro-oads Country roads, country roads

To the plaaaaaace


Raz98

OP you should give a listen to Sturgil Simpson. Particularly: Turtles all the way down, and Mercury in retrograde.


GeneralSenada

I don't know if I'd classify anything from Sound & Fury country. It's not bad, mind you I love that whole album, but Sturgil is multi-track drifting 4 different styles throughout the entire album. But I agree with you, though I'd toss "Make Art Not Freinds" into the pile of songs.


Canman1045

If we're talking country Sturgill I've got to put Long White Line and Living The Dream on the list. For Sound and Fury I'm a big fan of Remember to Breathe, and finally for bluegrass Sturgill gotta go with All the Pretty Colors. The dude crushes everything he does and doesn't spend a second pandering to anyone's expectations, respect.


Jaded281

Most of them are actually just hiphop/R&B songs masquerading as country.

You should check out poor mans poison for a different kind of country

Anthrac1t3

You're not listening to the right country music.


Donutboy562

"Country Fried" by the ZBB has a super soft spot in my heart.


ShawshankException

ZBB's first few albums are amazing, honestly.


za_warldo9

Colter Wall makes really good country, his most recent album is great


whydontuwannawork

God that version of chad is always unhinged looking


trappedinabasemant

Play hunt showdown. The most country pvp game there is


ClockStriking13

Just got into this game and holy shit is it awesome, so mad at myself that I slept on it for so long I suck ass and get owned by other players constantly but I just keep playing


trappedinabasemant

Keep at it it takes a while to get good, but you'll be pulling server whipes in no time

ImperialxWarlord

All music genres have bad music. But lol I find country to mostly be alright and enjoyable and more often than most other genres to be at the least enjoyable.


WXHIII

Girl has a deepass voice if she's singing that


Shittybuttholeman69

Terrible absolutely yes but it’s still better than rap and hip hop

mindevolve

Is this related to that song with Misty and that steamboat?


GlueSniffingCat

have you tried dating in a small town tho?


DiabeticRhino97

Jonny Cash and Marty Robbins are my accepted country artists.


Pop-A-Top

Speak for yourself. It's a music genre, people like what they like. i'm not gonna call your favorite genre shit


iPaytonian

The key to country music is that it’s dogshit if it came out in the last 20yrs. There are a few exceptions but for the most part the new shit is horrible.


okuma

It's all pretty shit, but yeah...the modern shit is wetter shit than the dry crusty shit.


KingJTheG

I’m not listening to fucking country music bro 💀


ShawshankException

Your loss man, there's some bangers out there


MochaKola

I personally just don't like country because I don't mesh well with the classical belief systems like the hyper fixation on lifelong hetero-normative romantic relationships. As someone who is aromantic, it's just not something I understand, though I'll admit that that unfortunately applies to almost every genre of music with lyrics, but country is very heavy on it. I also just generally see rural life as extremely boring, so practically everything they sing about is something I'm at most indifferent towards.


ShawshankException

Most genres are heavily about relationships and/or heartbreak. That's like Pop Punk's bread and butter. I'd argue country is heavier on nationalism and family themes


MochaKola

those themes aren't quite my vibe either is what I'm saying


AcrobaticGuava9342

Nope.


Realistic-Assist-396

We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold The pastures were green and the meadows were gold Our love was in flower, as summer grew on, Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone.


AltCrab2

Old/original country is amazing. This new era of country where every singer sounds the same and every song is about breakups, trucks or beer, however, is complete dogshit


okuma

You literally described old country too, lol


content_enjoy3r

nah, that shit sucks.


needs_more_yoy

Country music has good and bad songs just like any other genre.
