Am I the only one who can watch a show like the Country Music Awards and wonder what the HELL I'm looking at?
Cause it sure ain't County Music.

It’s bubblegum pop in blue genes with an accent.

“Acht Breaky Heart.” Now THAT’S music!

There appears to be not even the slightest attempt to say anything other than to repeat the tired, overused mantra of redneck party boy in his truck, partying in said truck, hoping to get lucky in the cab of said truck, and his greatest possible achievement in life is to continue to be physically and emotionally attached to the aforementioned truck as all things in life should and must take place in his, you guessed it...truck. I didnt mind the first two or three hundred versions of these gems but I think we can all agree by now that everythings been said about a redneck and his truck, that can possibly be said. It is time to move on to the next subject. Any subject, anything at all.
Oh gosh, yes. Please.

Country Music died a long time ago when Nashville producers started packaging canned music around pretty faces instead of identifying and marketing real singing talent, like in the old days.

I still like Austin country, or Red Dirt as I think it is termed now. Nashville is selling artificially colored and flavored, genuine faux imitation naugahyde country.

Country music is alive and well. You just won't find it on the FM dial.
I don't know what you call that stuff.

Is country music dead? This question is about 30 years old (or too late).

Never liked country much as a youth.
Started to get interested in it about a decade or so ago. Just as I did, it started going down the toilet.
What killed it for me is Taylor Swift. She’s like nails on a chalkboard far as I’m concerned.

A lot of what passes for “country music” today sounds to my ears an awful lot like ‘70s rock, particularly the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
To: Responsibility2nd
It’s utter crap. All the same tempo with 3-4 word lyric bites, stupid sing song up down up note arrangements and now Rap and Hip Hop are sneaking in.
I would rather listen to cats fornicate.
Anything other than true classic country is Garbage.
Fortunately TX has a pretty good roots type country ingrained-guys like Kevin Fowler, Roger Creager, Thomas Michael Riley and Cory Morrow.

Yeah. Was just thinking this week how almost everything on country radio right now is so interchangeable. Any one guy could be singing any of the songs. I don’t mind some of the music, but in total, it’s really bad for the genre. There’s no depth whatever to the music or lyrics. Just music execs vying to be this summer’s beach party anthem.

Yes...let’s move on to the poor Reba McIntyre singing about how her husband won’t buy her a washer and dryer! IMO that is what wrong with “country music”...stereotypes are lousy songs. George Jones is gone!

There are still some great turns of lyric from time to time. I'm sure if you thought about it you could name a few.
Also, musical twists - I like: "Whose bed have your boots been under" I love the meter, altrhough I get a sense of deja vu when I listen to that, was that a retread?
"I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then" while a fairly bland cookie-cutter song, has that classic country turn of phrase.
There are a few others.
