meanwhile gothic/outlaw country is out here like “I’m going to kill a cop and then go fishing but then catch Satan himself and then everyone dies”

I really love that Bo Burnham song about country songs, ever since I heard that it’s all I can hear when listening to country now. So many of the popular country songs follow that format almost exactly, it’s insane…

The gym was playing some country last time I went, and the song was some guy saying: I did her wrong, and now she’s leaving me. The guy sounded genuinely regretful and acknowledged he was to blame. I don’t hear that in a lot of other genres.
