Country Music?

[chithanh119]

I'm not country music lover... but I respect it as a popular music genre. What confuses me is how country music is not.. well.. country anymore.



I watched 2 videos on the country music channel (not a big sample, i know), but it was quite telling. I saw a Kenny Chesney video.. who seems to be more of a beach bum than a cowboy. He wears Abercrombie clothes with a cowboy hat... and sings about the beach. That's not very "down and dirty"...



Next on was Keith Urban, who I had never heard or listened to. He had electronic beats, electric guitar, and pretty much sang the standard "3 doors down" type of song. He had makeup on, his video was in an art studio, and had abercrombie yuppy chicks in it. Whatever happened to country being country?
