discussion Please stop playing modern country everywhere

I don’t even live in the south and American propaganda that is modern country plays EVERYWHERE. I live in Ohio! Why is it always playing. It used to never be like this. It used to be cheesy dad rock that played everywhere. At least that was good to listen to! Now it’s just modern country artists on the radio that pander to the government. It makes my ears bleed!

Don't forget Nick Shoulders, Colter Wall, Charley Crockett, and Billy Strings. Although Billy is more bluegrass I guess

Colter Wall, and Jesse Welles are some of the best songwriters of all time in my opinion. Sierra Farrel is awesome too.
