Wait a minute. I think they're saying country music is like disco...a "genre", and really has nothing to do with being from the country. Like the Dixie Chicks.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
a "message" in a song doesn't make it country. That white trash stuff is far from country. If that song in the original post was played on a "country" music station, I'd still not tune in, as they don't play any country these days anyways, that stuff wouldn't change my mind. I listen to old rock in roll these days. Wish there was a station local that played old 'real" country.
That's why I have and love my SiriusXM.
Me too! Willies Roadhouse and Prime Country are the two Sirius Stations I listen to the most.
All that crap they play on FM "Country" stations nowadays sure as hell ain't COUNTRY !

I think personal interpretations vary wildly of what anything "is" when it comes to music. Obviously being FROM the country is not a pre-req to some. Only what it sounds like.
Then again, what is "country" as far as where one is from or lives?
...when Hee Haw went off the air, don't watch this. IMHO, these are the people that are gonna save this country.
Sorry Pat, but by any sane definition, that's no even close to country. It's white trash trailer park noise. I'm OK with folks liking it, (one guy's noise is another's music) but I AM getting tired of lines being pushed, and definitions being rewritten...............and Bruce Jenner being called a hero. Anyway, enjoy your slippery slope, and here's some more noise from some very confused white kids.
There's another one that's just as bad that advertises in one of my 4wd magazines. I'll try to find him.

I get your point Pat, and can look backwards to all of the musical examples that prove what you're saying. It's all just entertainment, so whatever floats a generation's boat I guess. I just can't call it "country" any more than that bubblegum crap Tim McGraw makes a fortune with. While Reality TV is also a form of entertainment, it's so distanced from reality, that I can't enjoy that either. If this new "genre" was given a different label, like Trailer, then I'd be fine with it, and know what to expect, and avoid.
I do enjoy the Gangstagrass intro to Justified BTW.
And to your original point, I AM encouraged that this next generation is calling BS to the Political Correctness that's being shoved down our throats. I said exactly that yesterday to a high school kid at a gas station who pulled up in a late model Chevy 2500 with both Gadsen and CS Battle flags flying from the bed. He and his GF didn't look "hate filled," just young, and fed up with the country they're inheriting.

I understand. I grew up listening to Floyd Cramer and Chet Adkins and in my adolescence it was Waylon, Willie and the Boys. Skynard and ZZ Top came around when I started playing, then SRV and A/C came into the picture.
I am of the opinion that any style of music can be good...or bad.
