Here's the largest difference between singing about trucks, girls and beer today vs. about 5-10 years ago:
TODAY
"Nothing but two lane country on up ahead
Girl, you so fine I wouldn't mind if this is all we did.
You got me high on kisses, you got me missing signs
Hard looking left when my world is on my right"
5-10 YEARS AGO
"I go back to a two toned short bed Chevy
Drivin my first love out to the levvy
Livin life with no sense of time
And I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
Wishin time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back"
Hmmm.....they seem to have the similar storyline; a truck, a girl, a dirt road/country/levvy, alcohol, etc.
The difference: The first song is entirely about those subjects. It festers and festers and festers, but never changes. Never boils over. Never sings something different. It always dwells on this one moment and doesn't get anywhere. The second just mentions it and moves on to something deeper, a reminiscing of times past. This is the problem with today's country music. It's meaningless, immoral, shallow and demeaning to women. Yet, young girls swallow it up. Why? It's insecurity. They think that if they can just "paint on some jeans", wear some "cherry lipgloss" and shake their "moneymaker" then they will be something to be desired. It's a fantasy. That is all. Those types of boys will just chew you up and spit you out. Bro Country needs to cease to exist all together for the greater good. Please stop liking Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and the others who follow in their shadows until they can begin to release songs with depth and meaning. Until then, they're only people pleasers. They are not artists. They are not country music. They are a fad.
