Shitty patriot country music has always been a thing and there are still tons of Outlaw country artists right now. This is literally just like those “rap in the 90s vs rap today” memes that ignore the fact that trap has been a thing since the 90s and old school hip hop is having a Renaissance right now

TBF, country music hasn’t been country music for a quite a while now
it’s bro country now
It really is, now that you mention it.
What do they drink now? Since their precious Bud Light gave way to WOKENESS.
Typically other beers that happen to be owned by AB-InBev. That or Coors.
Coors was among the first companies to extend benefits to same-sex partners and was named the Corporation of the Year by the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, despite being a right wing company in general.
Didn’t know that, I was just commenting on what the unhomed Bud Light drinkers drink now. I don’t drink any of that shit because it’s not good beer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They’re still pretty right wing afaik, but it shows what concerted action between employees and the community can do.
For a shitty macrobrew, coors is ok. Like if I have to order one of the big three.
I go Yuengling. Best of ALL. It’s not available in my home state, but they said a year or two ago that they were partnering with IIRC Miller-Coors, got a deal to brew their beer using M-C facilities. And they’d service almost every state. Still waiting for that day. 😔
Yeah, we don’t get that out west :(
Good, I spent several years in PA, it is cheap piss water, that had good marketing…
Stella Artois
Heh drinking Wife Beater pretty apt
Twenty hours in and it’s up to me to remind people that Dolly Parton is the full package?
- She’s got tunes, OK ‘I Will Always Love You’ is a bit cloying but the rumour is that she also wrote Jolene the same day
- She supports other women. When porn star Julia Parton was around and telling people that she was Dolly’s cousin, Dolly’s public response was something like, ‘She ain’t my cousin but I can’t condemn what she does… it’s not like I ever tried to hide my breasts. Good luck to her.’
- She produced Buffy The Vampire Slayer through her production company Sanddollar. She kept a low profile publicly but behind the scenes was very supportive of the show because it provided good role models for young women.
- She funds the Dolly Parton Imagination library which mails free books to kids under five.
9 to 5 is also a socialist anthem!
She also had an awesome cameo in The Orville.
True, the only thing I remotely have an issue with is her southern revisionism restaurants.
Is almost the same thing with Brazilian sertanejo. Was once about the bucolic reality in the rural side of the country, now is about bragging about being rich, going to pointless parties and drinking a lot of alcoholic drinks, f-cking everyone…
Plenty of good modern country music out there, you just have to look for it. Tyler Childers and Colter Wall are some famous ones that spring to mind, but there’s many others.

I mean that’s the case for any genre. Time filters out the bad stuff from the past, the good survives to reach new generations. Now we get to do the filtering for future generations.
Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell too
Corn Lund
Edit: CORB, lol autocorrect
I’m guessing you meant Corb? If so, he has the odd song, like The Truck got Stuck, that are more mass appeal. But he has so many amazing songs
Lol yes. He’s a country guy who still sees the medium as a storytelling tradition. Really appreciate it.
Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier is one of my go-to shower karaoke songs 🎵
Brent Cobb has some good songs. Lost Dog Street Band is pretty good too.

Meh. Depends on band/genre. There’s Green Day is Metallica’s kill em all radio for some reason. I love both bands, but they’re not really related.
There’s static-x and Korn in megadeth’s radio.
If you go to cannibal corpse’s radio, out of 2.5 hrs of music/40-50ish songs, you’ll see 6 songs by cattle decapitation, 4 of which from the same album. For a genre with hundreds of bands, that’s piss poor variety. And ofc bunch of other bands in there there aren’t death metal such as slayer or venom.
Sorry, end of rant.
I loved ‘a boy named Sue’ but it was ‘the Man comes around’ that sold me. Heard it first during the OP of “Day of the Dead” remake, and there is no other song that comes close to fitting with this opening
I think Orville Peck might be my gateway drug into country. I don’t imagine there’s too many gay cowboys out there, but surely there’s other stuff I’ll like.
You clearly weren’t there when the mountain broke its back
I don’t imagine there’s too many gay cowboys out there
I always get the sense that there are quite a few. Maybe even most of them.
Chances are they just don’t talk about it
Don’t ask me how I know but there’s at least 18 of them
Oh god. Please. Please explain how you know this.
Let’s just say Ram Ranch really rocks
Ohh. /That/ Ram Ranch.
I highly recommend Buck Meek.
He’s the guitarist for Big Thief but his solo albums are some of the best country I’ve heard in a long time. And free from the toxicity of modern country (as far as I can tell)
Holy shit Buck Meek and Big Thief are so good. Definitely more on the indie folk side of country but I’d be lying if I said Dragon New Warm Mountain wasn’t my favorite album of last year
Hell yeah, Adrianne Lenker’s solo stuff is great too
Thanks for the suggestion! I would consider this more folk punk than country, but it’s got a Johnny Cash vibe to it for sure. I like it.
I would like to add The Devil Makes Three to the list of redeemable country music. I guess they are more bluegrass/folk punk, but they shred and the lyrics are good.
How the mighty have fallen

We. Live. In. A. Society.
The Nordic nations are societies. They care for one another. They don’t resent their taxes being used to aid and elevate the other members of their society. They root for one another in more than empty rhetoric.
We the US are just a bunch of rugged individuals competing against one another at eachother’s throats due to decades of propaganda by our owner class to keep us divided, isolated, and distracted from what they’ve inflicted upon our former society.
There’s a reason they hide behind gates and door guards, they know what they’ve done to this country outside their steel towers and golf clubs.
Nordic societies are also largely homogenous. Sweden has seen massive increases in violent crime and poverty ever since they started allowing anyone in. America has a very similar policy with immigrants and it’s really difficult to create such an insular culture with such a large landmass and variety of people. Americans to view themselves as -Americans and you don’t get the same with the Norwegian’s or Icelanders. I’m all for the Nordic model in Nordic countries (less Sweden until they clean up their policies that are turning their country into the third world) but America needs a different form of social welfare, starting with UBI, universal education, and socialized healthcare.
