Can we start a petition to make the good "country" music be called something else and all of the any other genre, but with a fake accent and nationalism just be country? The name is tainted by decades of shit music and shit people that only care about WHITE MERICA.
The settled on term is "alt country", though a lot of country fans prefer to other modern mainstream radio country as "bro country" since alt country implies that alt country is a departure from traditional country despite being more of a return to classical roots than an intended presentation of departure from the norm. I often tell people if Johnny Cash or Dolly Parton were starting their careers today they'd definitively be put in the alt country bucket.
Which also gets me to an important point I wish more people would take into consideration: genre is a constructed element of music, largely stemming less from artistic movements and more from radio formats. The modern day music landscape has much less to do with artistic expression and much more to do with what advertisers thinks will sell tires, cheap beer, and fast food combo meals. Even deconstructed genres like hyperpop stem from the record industries need to assign everything to a specific radio format and artists wanting to put a spotlight on the commercialization of one of humanities oldest endeavors (song / dance).
Other way around for me.
Theres country, and there sugar (read:twang) colored pop for those who dont want to admit they only listen to pop music.
Drive-By Truckers would like a word with you, sir.
There's still some outlaw type country out there. Just have to search more.
Ford truck month country is a blight tho
Nah it's country music , it's always bene garbage.
Country is a complex and varied genre. For every garbage ass Kenny Chesney out there, there's a Sam Gleeves, Dori Freeman, Shovels and Rope, or Dead South doing something interesting.
Then there's Dixon Dallas:
He's bouncing off my booty cheeks, I love the way he rides
I can hardly breathe when he's pumping deep inside
I kiss him on his neck and then he kisses on my bussy
Call him daddy while I holler "Man, that boy so damn good lookin'!"
Dam, always thought he spelled it Dicksin Dallas.

That is impressively out there. Good for them!
Country music is the lowest form of music, below music for toddlers.
you havent heard country music then
Downvoted by radio-listeners. Country is great, anyone who says "Live at Folsom Prison" isn't one of the best live albums of all time is, ironically, a toddler. Pop country is trash and has been trash for decades.
its the same as saying all rap is for gangsters and pimps and thats all they talk about
What bro country sounds like to people who don't like bro country https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CORANvT8l9A
I knew what channel it'd be before clicking. "What RHCP sounds like to people who don't like RHCP" is an instant cult classic
Every time I make fun of country I’ll sing some made up lyrics like “got a girl in my truck and my truck in my beer” so I definitely laughed when I heard this parody because it’s basically the same thing.
Country music in the 50s: I tripped and fell into a burning ring of fire and fell down down down
Translation:
Fell in love with a married woman and I'm going to burn in hell for my sins cause I'm a bad man
