Collected here are the best country music cliché's of 2013. Surprisingly, or not surprisingly depending on your familiarity with country music, most have to do with trucks, girls, and drinking.

To this I have but one thing to say:

From carpooling with someone who listens to nothing but, I also noticed that several songs specifically brag about drunk driving and running stop signs. Like... I don't know what they're called so I can't post them here, but I know for a fact there are at least three new country songs that talk about running stop signs, for literally no reason.

I think people are taking this to heart, because I've seen a lot of this activity since forever.

I experienced this over the summer at a "country or science" place of employment. Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem" comes to mind saying, "Yeah, I'm chillin on a dirt road, laid back swerving like I'm George Jones. Smoke rollin out the window, ice cold beer sittin in the console."

Obviously glorifying drunk driving. This is how it really goes down here though (KY), drunk bro trucks blaring this shit are a common sight.

Yea I saw this the other day, and as a country music fan, it bothers me a little, but at the same time, its true. I love country, but I'm not a fan of what the mainstream country is turning in to. Too much repetition (as evidenced in the video). But good music exists outside of that realm, you just need to avoid the Luke Bryans and Jason Aldeans of the country music world. I've always been a fan of Dierks Bentley (definitely has had his share of poppy crap, but has gems like these).

The moral of that post is, yes, mainstream country is turning to shit, but there are definitely a bunch of songs that are worthwhile.

I would echo your sentiments with respect to mainstream rock as well. 3-Theory-of-a-Nickel-Door is a good example.

It's what sells though. The song you posted was ok. Personally I listen to audio books.

so i climb cell towers for sprint for the moment, and i realize that u can listen to any kind of muzik you feel gets you on with your day but if u go back to when mama was movin and yer wet bed sheets were stackin up.I bet more than half of wut u do in a day shortens up and u feel more comfortable in your body because of u growing up and feeling secure with ur family.Buttt! When you can be on the road and make a mans song ,your life. with just a little thought and an average joe mind all signs point to god bless 'merica and be proud to call yourself a country man.screw that following and being what others want you to.be you.see folks dont realize all good decent females filter through a p.o.m.e. checkpoint.if these ladies get the wrong scores then we put what you would call a cap on okayish women in our circle and only allow certain exceptions as in if u have a not so good grille move it on some of us dippin spittin boys barely got the time to even think about our bad grille to come.really girls wut we lack is wut we need in u.kinda dumb but hey my grandparents made it on 43 yrs. Before u pass.well this aint no convo so ima get this here merica shirt and be merican.
