What the hell happened to country music?

I channel surfed to CMT and watched a music video by a band called one trick pony... it looked like a party at the mtv beachhouse. hotties riding jetskis, swimming with dolphins, playing volleyball. it was bizzare,. i didnt see one tractor, american flag or mullet in the whole video. there were barely any cowboy hats either. i know country has crossed musical genres in recent years in an effort to find new fans, but WTF. oh, and the song was terrible.

All 'popular' music seems to be just a mad grab for cash these days. Real talent is few and far between, usually sticks around for a while, and doesn't cause your eardrums to bleed for hours after listening to them.

RIP Johnny Cash
I think it started fucking up at about 1997 and was exponential growth from there. Country music should be fully integrated into pop / rock in 2009.

Yea its a trend started by Uncle Tupelo or whatever and its called insurgent country.
Its also the reason why young people suddenly like johnny, willie, and hank again.
Kinda presumptuous I guess, saying "this is where we think country should have gone", but the thing is, they're right :P
