I know, it's no:


But what is?

 I think it's amusing... all these people complaining saying "this isn't country" just because it isn't the same resurrected twang over and over again as if "country music" as a genre isn't allowed to grow and have metamorphosis and evolve like it's ALWAYS done. Ask y'alls parents and grandparents what they (or others in their generation) thought when Johnny Cash changed the face of country music. Or Waylon Jennings. Or Hank Williams Jr. They got the same flack y'all are giving these boys, and they're what you call "real country" - but it wasn't always that way, was it? They weren't always the idols of country music. They were the outlaws, the ones ridiculed for not being "true to their country roots" and "ruining country music" by being too much like rock-n-roll and Elvis. Tim McGraw got heat for remaking R&B songs and featuring non-country artists. Shania Twain was ripped apart for being "too sexy" in her videos. Even Brooks & Dunn and Garth Brooks were proclaimed to be "not 'country' enough" when they were changing the face of country music with their revolutionary sounds. Not so many years ago Big & Rich, Montgomery Gentry, and even the beloved Kenny Chesney met the same resistance because of their unique qualities and what they brought to the table. "Beach party songs aren't country" one would say about KC's music - yet he's a revered staple in the country music patchwork now some 15 years later. Funny how that works. Someday our children will look at this country music as "old" and "passe" and we'll complain that their artists are ruining country music. But they're not, they're just evolving it the way their predecessors did.

Really though, I can't hate Florida Goergia Line. I grew up/went to school/am friends with the kinda people that this music is for. It's less offensive than something like Creed to me. It's fun. Have a coors, fuck a thick blonde girl.

2015, noise is noise.

About a year ago I almost made a joke thread about this band and how country music had melded with shit pop rap.

It's not just them. There are a lot of bands that sounds like this now.

I mean its awful but so is all pop music at this point so just enjoy the ride.

Yeah, that band that was "banned" from radio for what was a perceived song about lesbianism because of the title, their prior big single was this:

Fairchild jokes, “Maybe the real controversy is that a 6/8 ballad is on country radio.”

I suppose we should take comfort in the fact that they aren't this:
