New Rural King store, wife goes one way I go the other. I look over batteries, tires, oil & Dewalt. Getting keyed up. Find wife, you ready to go? She says, I want to look more, this place has a lot of stuff. Told her I'd be in the parking lot sitting in porch swing or something when she was ready to leave. What's wrong? she said.
Told her, this effing music is driving out of my effing gourd, I have to get away from it...now. Pop country I guess it was, don't even want to know.
You shoulda Chuck Norris Walker Texas Ranger round house kicked the beef jerky rack on the way out.

Country has thrown me into a fit of rage for as long as it's existed. I don't understand how people listen to that depressing hillbilly schitt.
You should check out Arlo McKinley. Local boy to you, amazing artist.
I'm not trying to be mean or hate on anyone's choice of music btw. I just really can't stand it. My dad hated it all his life and I think it rubbed off on me because it literally throws me into a fit of rage if it comes on unexpectedly. I was a mechanic in my younger days and nothing would ruin my day faster than hopping in a customers car, turning the key and hearing that yodeling hillbilly schitt on the radio. I actually worked with another guy at one shop that would get so pissed off when that would happen to him that he would punch the radio as a reflex.
Your coworker sounds Uber mature. I’m guessing this was at a dealership shop? I get it though, my day is TOTALLY ruined if I have to hear even a 5 second snippet of something I don’t like on the radio.
Was a long time ago and I actually think it was an involuntary reflex because the time I saw him do it was during a test drive that he needed a passenger to listen to a noise out the passenger front window and he reacted so fast that it scared the schitt out of me.

I like any music that's interesting. I've tried to play guitar (Without much success.) for 40 years. Watching a Slipknot concert as we speak. Lately, I'm liking this guy's sound.
I like singer/songwriters who can tell a good story or make you feel something. Most of the modern guys can't. Don't care for the tractor rap either.
Guys like Tyler, Colter Wall, Jamey Johnson or even Jason Isbell know how to write a damned song that does this. If I get in the mood for "pop country" - I'll listen to Alabama or others from the era. Midland too.
Their are some good C&W songs from the past. Some are pretty good toe tappers or drinking music at Bars back in the day.
But overall I am still a founding member of "The society for the prevention of the continuation of C&W music". After being subjugated to WBGW 24/7 at Billy Bells house when his mom would baby sit me occasionally or just hanging out with him. It pretty well damaged me from around age 6 to 8 for any like of C&W music as a whole. Some of the schit playing in the early 70,s and stuff from the previous 3 or 4 decades being played... Was not special........
Billy's dad used to crank up that combo TV, Record player, Radio 6 ft long abortion thing during Cowboy music hour also on WBGW.. Twang Twang Twang,nasal voices, and yodeling schit...
That Radio station needed a B 52 strike AFAIWC back then.
Country Pop, Countrypolitan, Country Rock have all been around for a long time, but nothing comes close to the crap on the Country stations today. I predict a revival of Neotradtional Country like the late 80s-early 90s. At least I hope so.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
