Country music has good roots but has been garbage for decades once execs realized that poor whites in flyover states just want their shitty existence validated by twangy pop songs.

Basically songs are written by A.I. - religion, dirt roads, swimming holes, guns, having enough to get by, momma, etc. Put a cowboy hat or a tattered ball cap on some Nashville faggot and print money.

Even better if you give them an anthem to rally around, evidenced by this thread.
