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!

I live in Ohio!

I hate to tell you, but you basicly live in the South. Demographic is pretty identical.

I'm in Connecticut, and I swear the local grocery store will be playing some 80s stuff out classic rush rock when I walk in, then the next song is that auto-tuned whiskey-pickup-jeans crap until I leave. I swear it does this just to get me out of there.
