    If the lyrics were leftist instead of chud no one here would be saying it's bad

    lol

    Yeah, if the lyrics weren’t reactionary they would be good. You can say that about every bad song though. Like what if bad….was good!

      A lot of reactionary media is just bad though, totally independent of the political messages. Like those kids cartoons Prager U puts out are just hot garbage, even if they were sending a leftist message they'd suck cuz the animation and writing are just terrible.

      Most modern day country songs would still be terrible if they had leftist lyrics. Oliver Anthony can actually sing and his music isn't over produced to hell

        lol like that’s a hard bar to clear. There are FAR better country artists today that don’t have reactionary lyrics like Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson and Margo Price or even a mainstream act like Chris Stapleton. Anthony is crap and ignoring a huge aspect of it isn’t going to change anything.

        over produced to hell

        As someone whos worked as an engineer my whole life, Overproduction in the context of music that’s supposed to be can be good sometimes i-think-that

        Like there’s an art to it, I understand it not being everyone’s cup of tea but I like often respect and like it. That said I don’t much care for modern country in general so I don’t have much of a dog in this racd
