That’s a generous interpretation of the situation. I think it’s more likely that it just sucks. There’s good country music out there but most of what gets played on your local country radio station is shallow music for shallow people. Formulaic, uninspired, and boring as hell.
and then you have people like corb lund with songs such as “i’m probably going to die in the army and war is hell, so can you please let me at least ride a horse into battle so i look cool?” and colter wall with “i killed a man because he looked at me in a way i didn’t like” which is so much more authentic
