There's a Tiktok account (yes, boo hiss tomato, etc) that makes AI generated music, and the country songs are indistinguishable from actual country songs on the radio until you listen to the lyrics.

Went to a show w/ a friend, didn't know what I was getting into. Billy Strings had me dancing my ass off and I mostly don't like country music. It's all about when they they're just jamming, it's incredible.

Billy strings is hella talented.

It's somewhere on the bluegrass<>country spectrum I wouldn't really call it country music.

Id argue bluegrass is a subset of country

I'm not really into his music but boy do I love that guy. I'll bet he's despised by the latter category of country musicians described in the post
