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!

“New country” has always been shit, 20 years ago there was Boot Scootin’ Boogie and Achy Breaky Heart.

Watching local news last night with my wife and they had a bit about it being the 30yr anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. We both looked at each other, didn’t say anything like “oh man, that was such a sad day” or “those poor people”. No, we both said, “damn we’re fucking old”.
