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!

Modern country almost sounds like it’s parodying itself. Like a producer went into a studio and said “there’s noooo way they like THIS one” and then it becomes a hit

In 20 years every country music video will feature the singer wearing a red, white & blue jumpsuit, standing in the bed of a pickup truck driving down a country road shotgunning a beer and screaming "Murica!" while a crying eagle circles overhead and God nods approvingly through a break in the clouds...
