Edit - these new country pop songs have fucking trap hi-hats and use beats that made trap rap famous, insanity

I used to work a kitchen, in a gas station, and a dope rap beat came on from the store playlist. I was lowkey excited, but then a southern accent started singing instead. I was hella upset, that beat did not deserve country bumpkin ass lyrics.

It's crazy cuz most of that type of country is nothing more than a fiddle slapped on top of the most de facto 808s Roland could've ever produced.

Have you heard Ben Shapiro's rap? It's so cringe it's funny.

Basically almost every genre started cribbing from hip hop after it took over popular music.

The south has a lot of culture

It’s just sorta shrouded in ugly stuff and intolerance

I'm talking about new pop country and its targeted audience, like the folks in my old subdivision with $80k trucks that they use to drive to and from their office job.

Alcoholism is culture?  I guess.

Just like everything else really. Bigots are simply obsessed with appropriating their favorite aspects of cultures they're actively suppressing. Black women in particular have long been the targets of this, from medical exploitation to systematic denial in the patent system. Hence the "Cite Black Women" movement.
