A genre of music that used to be good until it all started sounding the same. After Garth Brooks came into the fold, there were really obcessed country fans and the selling out in country became more common. Nowadays country music is full of acts trying to sound a lot like each other and many artists do not have their individuality, but many did not have that from the start of the genre. Once Waylon Jennings demanded that he would play his own songs like it or not, individual began to increase in the genre. The creativity of the country singer or band is denied when they are not allowed to be creative. Ever since maybe ten years ago or even earlier many acts have been copying each other. Individuality has been more seen in some Alan Jackson, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Bocephus, Eric Church, Brad Paisley, and in the songs of a few other country acts. However Rock, Alternative, Punk, and Metal, and Metalcore ( the one with probably the most freedom of expression and by far the most lyrically deep the majority of the time are the best). However the legacy of country music is being ruined by an attempt to commercialize like pop artists is hurting the genre of country music when they try to be all hip hop and sing about a woman's booty or follow the same formula of every other band in country or rock music. These rock bands they seek to sometimes emulate are southern rock bands, Nickelback, 3 Dooors Down, and Hinder. Honestly, country music is so far on the decline that it has to the potential to turn worse than the pop/dance and techno genres.
Nashville is selling out because country music all of a sudden became about women's butt and copying anyone in the genre who has been getting hit singles.

Music characterized by whiny vocals, mundane lyrics, and ignorance. It typically promotes blind patriotism and drunkenness. The singers are generally rich white males who choose to spend the majority of their time touring big cities. The cowboy costumes they put on before concerts serve no viable purpose, save furthering the overall fake, shallow image of country music.

A style of music which involves a guitar and drums and has someone who sings to the beat of softer music.

A terrible genre of music.
Typically enjoyed by white conservatives of the south or midwest.
To be a male country musician today you must:
* Wear a cowboy outfit
* Have a southern accent (whether it be fake or not)
* Be from Texas (whether you actually are or not)
* Love Bush
* Enjoy Nascar
* Unite with fellow hicks
* Ect.
Yee Haw.

A great form of music that originated in the rural south. I am one of the few who likes both modern country(Trace Adkins, Big & Rich, Jason Aldean, Gretchen Wilson, etc.) and traditional country (Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, George Jones, The Carter family, etc.). Country is great because it can be about anything such as love, drinking, having fun, driving, history, sports, politics, lifestyle and even the internet(the song "Online", by Brad Paisley).
Country is not just depressed emos whining about their "problems" they pretend to have or a buch of "gangstaz" tellin us how they busted a cap in a cops ass. Country requires actual musical talent.

Terrible, terrible music made for Southern rednecks and other idiots. This is probably the worst form of music on the planet, ranking up there with raggae and Southern Rock. My mom loves it for some reason, i dont know HOW she does though.
Anyways, lots of country music is the same as Southern Rock: they all discuss loyalty to the South, driving ugly-ass pickup trucks, picking up redneck girls, romance between a redneck girl, some Southern woman leaving her man, and other crap dealing with tractors and occasionaly, America, which they are making look bad.

I heard that one country song where the moron lists of the states in the South.....yet he didnt mention Kentucky......my theory is correct, Kentucky isnt an actual part of the South!
