Country began changijg from its own genre, to include... A sub genre of rap, about 15 years ago.

But instead of the club, the location rapped about is the dirt road, the fishing hole etc. Traditional country locations.

And instead of rapping about Crystal, the drink is PBR, or whiskey.

And instead of general thug activities, it's discussed how a real man hunts/fishes /works .

And the autotune. Jesus tap dancing Christ. The autotune..

Country used to be dangerously based. It was quintessential American culture, and (gasp \s) it could inspire people and make them proud of themselves. So (((they))) had to ruin it. Though it may be that it just started to reflect the state of society as a whole.

Pop music sucks, it doesn't matter what genre it pretends to be.

My guess would be when city-slickers from New York or California started moving to Texas and Tennessee.

Also Johnny Cash is the best.

It's boybands with cowboy hats now.

Kenney Chesney sucks. Hate that cunt.

In my experience interacting with people from around America, it seems like "country boys" tend to be the most willing to accept trash women. They are natural cucks and all of their macho posturing is just to cover up their pain. I suppose the scarcity of women in rural areas plays a part, but if I were in that situation I would just buy a body pillow and play more video games.

Eli Young was the change. Jason Aldean didn't help. Basically when the target audience became women.

Turn of the millennia. As much as I like gart brooks he started it all in the 90s and it practically peaked then. Dirt road, tight jeans, young pretty girl, booze, jacked up truck, night time, moon, bon fire, auto tune

When Brad paisley sang about adopting some kid from Uganda. F ING stupid shit like that.
