        There’s some new cuck song they’ve been playing on the radio lately where so far as I can tell the only thing the singer thinks he has going for him over the other guy is that he drives a chevy. They’re playing the hell out of it too so I guess it’s popular… maybe there’s a bigger demo of country fans than I would have expected who’re into getting cucked. If I didn’t need the radio to tell me what traffic is doing I would never listen to that shit again.

    so not me. country and rap fall into the same boat with me. There is a bit I don’t dislike, especially when its more rock like, but I can’t think of anything that im like this is awesome about.

      Same for me with other genre i generally dislike.
      There are some gems but they are for certain genres few and far between.

        yeah and I get folks who love it. Its their jam. but usually If I generally don’t like something there is not like one song or something that I totally dig.

    Listen to most country songs before 2001. The only good country is old school outlaw country.

    Modern pop country is just bland messageless safe space frat party garbage.

      I think this is a pretty common experience across all genres.

      Least common denominator variants of genres become the pop radio hits everyone relates the genre to. If you don’t listen then that’s the representative sound.

    re-mixed by The Internet:

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    Please don’t take him just because you can.

    Your beauty is beyond compare
    With flaming locks of auburn hair
    With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

    For years our town’s been terrorized
    By the beast who takes disguise
    In the shell that calls itself Jolene

    Our sleep disturbed by quaking breath
    Eyes closed against the threat of death
    That lies behind the teeth of that Jolene

    The closer that you get to her
    The more those edges seem to blur
    To something that cannot be called Jolene

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    Please don’t take him just because you can.

    He screams about you in his sleep,
    And when he wakes does naught but weep,
    In terror of the one they call, Jolene.

    We cower here beneath your gaze,
    That sets the earth and sky ablaze,
    Have mercy at the end of days, Jolene.

    Before her wrath no foe could stand,
    Their corpses piled upon the sand,
    The blood of gods are on her hands; Jolene.

    Her hunger barely satisfied,
    She feasted on the ones who died,
    She slumbers now in starless skies; Jolene.

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you, please don’t disturb her sleep.
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    We’re safe while she still slumbers in the deep.

    Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape
    Your claws rend flesh, there’s no escape
    From judgement of the Eldritch One, Jolene

    Blackening the summer skies,
    With burning wings and countless eyes,
    We tremble at the thought of you, Jolene.

    Bliss withered from this awful truth,
    Gone is the ignorance of youth,
    The unrelenting mark of that Jolene.

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    Please don’t take him just because you can.

    The foolish who came to defend,
    Their broken minds will never mend,
    They fell at the mere sight of you, Jolene.

    But I’ve seen beyond that auburn hair
    My eyes have met your vacant stare
    And I’ve been told I’m hard to scare, Jolene

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’ll end this story just how it began
    I’ll take your teeth if you try to take my man
