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
Depends how old school, too? I mean NWA, Run DMC and Public Enemy set the bar. But other artists exploded in the late 90s.
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
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.
Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell too
Corn Lund
Edit: CORB, lol autocorrect
Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier is one of my go-to shower karaoke songs 🎵
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.

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.
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
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
