#also luke combs is of the i love my wife variety but god every song of his slaps lyrically and melody wise

I really dislike the "country music went bad post-9/11" theory that so many non-country listeners spout constantly tbh. it's a little true! but it really oversimplifies how the beer trucks and country girls subgenre evolved.

there's also the snap track pop sound overproduced instrumentals i love my wife and god subgenre which is even more heinous to me.

and both of those come down to a lot of weird behind the scenes stuff going on with music labels in Nashville and with Approved radio music. it's not as though the top 40 country stuff on the radio is the pinnacle of the music in the genre being put out right now.

anyway I even think there is boobs beer country girl music that can be charming and very good music to listen to and it all comes down to good lyricism and something approaching decent instrumentals. it's not wholly the content but the presentation.
