i'm a teenager who loves music. i mean any kind of music. i'm a lyrical type of person so if you are saying something i can believe , its worth my ear time. i listen to everything from josh groban to common(rap), to faith hill(country) to stevie wonder to AcDc(rock) to the hives to jesse mccartney(kid pop). i love it all. i listen r%26amp;b when i'm in love, hard rock when i'm hyper,etc.but i have become so furious with some country music lately what made rap so popular and degrading.some,just some,of the songs lately have become more explicit, more references to sexual behaviors,and more scenes of skanky women shaking their asses.now i know country to rap is like apples to steak,i know everyone doesn't have such a wide range of musical taste.but isn't bad enough that a few bad apples in the rap industry make it hard for real true rappers? now the same is happening in the country industry, is anyone else mad about this or is there a double standard i don't know about? keep country true!!!
Skanky Country Music? say it ain't so!?

I too am a very lyrical person, who for the most part enjoy's all kinds of music also....(I don't enjoy most rap due to the fact that the majority of the rap song's I hear are just music and or lyric's ripped off or "sampled" as it were from someone who actually can write music and lyrics)...however I really do agree with you with regard's to country music. I thought that so called "new country" was going to be great with all the new artists that have been breaking into country music in the past few years. Maybe they feel that in order to be "current" and compete with other genre's of music they have to become more explicit lyrically. It's sad to me because traditional country music was always about feelings, sadness, loss, regret, love, etc..etc... now I'm afraid that people are just writing songs for the "shock" value and too be known, look at Big %26amp; Rich, %26amp; Gretchen Wilson for example...I mean she writes a song about driving her truck while she's "all jacked up" (drunk), what kind of example is that setting for people.
I miss the old country music where whether you found love or lost it at least the lyric's were subtle, they weren't in your face like today and the artist's didn't feel they needed to be naked to tell their story. Keep country true is right!

They probably figure that the scantly clad women is what made rap video's so popular and so they are following suit.
look i don't like country but i will tell every one that likes country in my school to hate it.
Ajent32, Nashville music was ruined long ago. I would suggest that you listen to bluegrass or Austin music if you want real country music that is still close to its roots.
The days of Waylon and Willie are over. I think all music is kinda crap nowadays though.
Try Austin music for some progressive country that doesn't suck.
It's the industry use WHATEVER sells..its unfortunate but it happens.
HonyTonkBaDonkADonk...case and point.
'Say it Ain't So' is by Weezer, an alternative rock band. Country music sucks. Your 'question' is long and boring, sorry.
I have to agree, I love classical Bach to Prodigy and all stuff in between and beyond. Grew up in the south and love country music, but it has taken a turn for the worse. What i hate the most is tuning in a country station and a pop station and they are playing the same song! As for the sex and skank in country, they are out to make money and sex and skank sell even in country, which is too bad!
I agree. I listen to Everything as well, and I love to sing, so country is one of my main genres. When people say that "country music is sad and depressing" I usually argue a good point and prove them wrong. However, some of these modern country songs and artist ARE straying from the true meaning of country. If I hear this 'honky tonk' song one more time I'm liable to break every radio in sight. It is songs like that that make people dislike country music. Country should be somebody with at least a little bit of talent Singing, not talking, about something with meaning. No talent, no truth, and no story behind the song? should be considered 'special interest' and not played on the radio more than once a week.
country music is just fine! rap music isnt even music-rap is crap- no comparison.
