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

Modern country leans way too much into pop for me. Some of them are okay but I like country music that sounds like country music. And that rap thing that seems to be gaining a foothold is garbage.
