In general and nowadays, absolutely. But there is so much actually great country music, and I say that as someone who stays FAR away from the genre as it is now and strongly dislike what it stands for and most of the people who like it. I even dare to say that some of the greatest songs of all time are country songs, but it’s hard to connect those to what it is now. My immediate reaction to this post was like yours, but it doesn’t take much thinking to realise there’s more to the genre than the stereotypical modern cringe shit.
