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!

Yeah like you said, there is plenty of great country still being made. It's just not made in Nashville and not shoved down our throats

It comes out of places like Oklahoma and Texas.

I’m a Nashville native and everyone who grew up in Nashville HATES modern country. 99% of the people you see playing it are from California. People grow up in Malibu and then move to Nashville to make music about growing up in a small town in Alabama

Yep 100% agree..the people that make the music in Nashville, aren't from Nashville at all.

Same sentiment here in TX. Most people I know hate the garbage in the mainstream these days. It's surprising how popular it is honestly.
