Boyfriend Country Is The New Bro Country

Today's video is all about country music's latest trend, which people are calling "Boyfriend Country." For years, we've heard about "bro country," but now guys like Dan + Shay and Brett Young are guiding popular country into a more sensitive, romantic place. This is just my exploration of the topic.

Don't make me wish for the days of "Hotdamalama."

2010’s Bro Country - Chasing her

[@Thunderchicken69]

It doesn’t even sound like country, it sounds like pop but the guy singing has an accent.

[@zsantschi]

This is like therapy. You're teaching me how to channel my hatred for modern country music into level-headed criticism. Thanks!

[@katymcdonald5481]

I think of it as “wedding first dance country”

[@marineladimitrova4758]

And here I am, hoping that the women that they sing about drive them crazy to the point where they run away, start bar fights and break hearts and then suddenly outlaw country comes back in style.

“Nice Guy” country in the post-Chad country era

[@katrinelise2004]

really all these trends always make me think of Bo Burnham’s song when he made fun of country and how it panders

[@ViktoriousDead]

Tyler Childers, colter wall. Some new artists that are actually good.

“Forever and Ever, Amen” by Randy Travis is the kind of boyfriend country I can get behind. Not this new crap.

[@peterc2696]

“Simp country”😂😂😂 not exactly a false statement

[@musicsucks5843]

Ok, so the next logical step would be "Divorce Country"

[@kennethmiller2333]

Once again, I think we need to just make "southern pop" a genre, move all of these half-wits (bro and boyfriend) over there so that we can have our country back.

“Bro country” CHASE ALL THE GIRLS!!!

[@4wildcat7]

"I don't want to feel like I am looking through a wedding album, or at a Hallmark card, or, God forbid, watching the bachelor when I am listening to country music." PREACH.

Like Sturgill says “I’m tired of y’all playing dress up, and tryna sing them old country songs”

[@FatalFriction]

They missed a trick not having a tv show "bro island" where all the bros get together to make sweet bro country together.

[@tracyruse7762]

I feel like ‘boyfriend country’ is the record execs direct reaction to “Girl in a Country Song”. “I promise, we don’t hate women. Not enough to let them sing on the radio, but we don’t hate them.”

[@armstrongjosh]

"God Bless the Broken Road" is one of the best boyfriend country songs of all time.

[@nostalgia_junkie]

when's emo country?
