Country Music Is Inevitable And Can Save Our American Souls

How in the face of “America Going America,” we can all save ourselves…

Wholesale American resistance to the brilliance that is modern country music is futile. Rap is almost unarguably best now as a Canadian-led ting, and if you weren’t aware, also an ascendant Chinese art. When it’s practiced by Americans these days, it’s a disposable, and largely hypocritical fourth-generation parody of its history. Moreover, it’s largely an affront to what should be our collective, national, and current raison d’etre. Thus, it’s entirely logical to say yes, while it’s oh so much fun to be “Bad and Bougee” like the Migos, there’s something truly ascendant and noteworthy in being a “Space Cowboy” like Kacey Musgraves instead. Dig even deeper, and I’m certain you can find something about modern country — also the music industry’s most sustainable genre — that, once explored can replace the mania that rap hath wrought and create a progressive liberal sense of not how to just “Make America Great Again,” but rather save our collective American souls.
