I once read a study about how someones musical taste is nearly always the kind of music they listen to when they're around 13, and then they stick to it until they're deaf. Everything before that sounds frumpy, everything that came after sounds like 12-tone music or repetetive noise.
I just pointed out that it wasn't country. Most of the posters agree. You think we're all angry senior citizens? Your post smacks of Ageism, if that's a thing. (Yeah I just checked; it's a thing.)
That's a myth. It's a myth that no thing can be better or worse than another thing.The funny thing is, this happens with every generation; whatever music you grew up with is the real music, and the new stuff is no good. I forget the movie, but it was a period film where the kids are listening to classic Motown on the radio and the adult says, "Take that mess off, listen to some real music."
I'm not mad at anything.
It's not country.
Back in the day I knew a guy who called them "Roudness". Horrible. Disgusting. It was a guy I knew, not me.
My comment about angry old person applies to anyone over the age of 20 because that's about the time people start complaining about new music and how the music they grew up with was far superior (i.e., they often highlight the music from when they were 10-16). When I hear complaints like that, I believe those people don't have a real appreciation for music and its diversity.
The point is that many people tend to attack new music that is unlike the music they grew up with. They attack the sound, lyrics, creativity, etc. The simple fact is there is new music made all the time, and there is a lot of good music made every year. The people focusing on, say just pop music, and then complaining aren't really listening to music or a large enough body of music.
I'll take you at your word, but my other metric for these threads say otherwise.
It's country, it's new, it's not accepted, but it's country. More specifically country-trap.

Well I didn't say anything about all that, I just said one song is not a country song, so check your prejudice and don't jump to conclusions, okay?
1 and 2 sound very country. 3 sounds like a normal hip hop song from the early 2000s.
You might want to take a class on music theory. The quality and very substance of music are actually devolving. The number of elements of music found in popular compositions is dwindling with each generation. And with ever-increasing frequency, recordings are dynamically compressed so that softer sounds are amplified, louder sounds are attenuated, and then the entire waveform is normalized to the slightest margin below what would introduce unplanned distortion. This yields the maximum amount of decibel assault upon our eardrums and represses the actual electro-chemical function of the pre-frontal cortex--the part of our brains that governs empathy, moral fidelity, decision-making, ability to worship--you might actually even think of it as the Most Holy Place of the temple of the Holy Spirit. So when you're all done chuckling, you might want to utter a little prayer for our children and grandchildren.
