I thought I didn't like country music. Turns out I just haven't been listening to the correct country music. Edit: People keep liking and responding to this a year later, so today I had a thought related to a response someone left. If there’s a genre of music you think you don’t like, take just a couple minutes to look for uncommon examples and sources of that genre. You might find your next favorite song. If you still don’t like it, then more power to you.

As a southerner who never really liked country.. I take it back. Tyler Childers is the closest we have to a modern day country great. He’s going to be looked at as a Hank Williams, Johnny Cash type.

[@johnnyrocket1685]

I have the same exact feeling to be honest. I grew up in some poorer areas of Utah and as a kid I truly, genuinely believed that you legitimately had to yell at your wife and beat her, shotgun PBR and Bud Light as soon as you wake up at 8am, work the shittiest possible manual labor jobs known to man, and spend 2-4 years worth of paychecks on the newest, largest and most unnecessarily upgraded F-150 - F-350 on the market, because those were the kind of people I grew up around in the areas I lived. For a long time I abhorred country and would never allow it to play if I could help it; But after discovering this song through a FoolishFrankie video where he absolutely nailed it playing an on-the-spot cover of Feathered Indians using a guitar and a Saxophone so much that I went straight to Apple Music and listened to the full song. Since then I listen to it at least once to and also from work every day, along with Make it Out Alive by Tanner Ursey, Move it On Over by Hank Williams, Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash and The Gambler by Kenny Rogers. That’s my country playlist so far lol.

Man, that's the thing. Mainstream country has sucked for nearly 3 decades. 9-11 really warped the heart of the genre and turned into this cheap, nasty, commercialized garbage that just sold generic bro-country and blind nationalism back to country fans for like 20 years. We're just now getting back to the proper heart of the genre with real outlaws and artists that get what it's supposed to be all about.

[@Tyler_3]

Country is dead. Childers, whiskey Myers, colter wall and sturgill Simpson are really, really good. But 4 artists (you can throw in a couple more) can't carry the genre and and out weight the hundreds of artists who are horrible. Skinny Jean wearing and fake twang singing pansies. There are very good artists today, but as a genre, it's dead.

[@meredithwilliams4671]

@@Tyler_3 I mean, pop-country is here to stay, but as long as these artists have a dedicated fan base and also inspire others, country really isn't dead. It just split into subgenres like music tends to do, that's all. There's obviously a demand for a more authentic sound in country music so it'll be filled. Maybe not on as large of a scale as Florida Georgia Line, but it'll happen nonetheless.

[@Tyler_3]

@@meredithwilliams4671 I guess you're right. As good as some of the current people are I mentioned above, none of them could shine johnny cash, waylon Jennings, steve young, emmylou Harris, townes van zandt, gram parsons, guy clark, hank williams, merle haggards, etc shoes. I think that in my opinion becaus the gap between the two groups (the historic greats and the current "revival") is so large, we'll never see anything like the 1920s - 1980s again. Also, besides maybe johnny cash, the country greats are becoming less and less known. Its understandable becaus that's how the world works, but it still sucks.
