My two sons are 24 and 25 years old. This is what they listen too. It's for their generation. The music describes what my boys like perfectly. ... I don't complain about it at all anymore. Some of the songs make me laugh. I have all the good stuff I like on iTunes Radio and can listen to it 24/7. Eight days a week.

Lotta Bro Country on country radio these days. It's the staple product. But I wouldn't put Eric Church in the Bro Country category. He's attempting to play the outlaw country card, with a big dose of hard-hitting rock & roll guitar. Plenty of drinking & marijuana references. When I saw him in concert it was lots of Les Pauls and Marshall stacks. The song played over the PA just before the band came out: Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills."

I wouldn't call Eric Church country music either. He's playing the same hybrid of rock & country that Steve Earle was playing in the late 80s. Kind of southern rock-ish.

I wouldn't put Gary Allan in that category either.
One day while listening to the radio I noticed a lot of songs about riding down a dirt road, one arm around a girl, drinking a beer, headed to a party in the woods, or a Saturday night fish fry.
Then I realized there were many songs like this throughout the years. Some of them I like such as Cruise by Florida Georgia Line. I prefer murder ballads, cheating songs, my baby left me songs, and the ones from that list from the Steve Goodman song.
I like songs about truckin' and looking for little kitty cats. Say fellers can you help me find my girlfriends cat?
I also like most of the Country Comedy songs, but not the parody songs so much. Little Jimmy Dickens & Maddox Bros. & Rose are two of my favorites.

Related to party/drinking songs, it appears young people partied more in Juke Joints and Honky Tonks in the fifties/sixties than today's farming community young adults. They tend to meet with their friends out in a field with other friends arriving in pick-up trucks. Then they build a big fire and I guess drink beer or something.
They do like to blend rap with country where my generation from the seventies blended rock & folk with country.
I would think a party in a field or a Honky Tonk was way better than a Disco. I wish I'd a grown up where they had barn dances.

The final nail in "country's" coffin? good lord..

I believe that with the sound turned off,at least 50% of that experience was above average. They don't look like that round here
