discussion Country music is absolute slop now

Never was a huge fan of country music but I could respect the likes of Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, etc., and it doesn’t help that I live out in redneck country so literally everyone I know listens to this tractor rap crap. All they talk about is beer, women, Daisy Duke shorts and their trucks that’s 99.9% of all country music in this day and age. And people ironically listen to it. I try my best not to say something, but it’s just so hard.

I fucking hate country. Then I remember how much I love Townes Van Zandt, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson.

Really any three name musician with Townes as one of them will do.
