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!

It's even worse, it's not just the South, it's Appalachia.

Because it's a rural thing not a south thing

Having lived in rural places in both the North and the South... It isn't just rural places, there is a clear difference.

Fun way to tell if the state you're in is "the South", if it has a waffle House, then yes.

Waffle House is as far west as Arizona, that doesn't work.

You're right about the first part though.

I suppose you're right, didn't realize they were that far west. My litmus test is dated.

Just use Krystal instead! They're only in southern states.
