Nu-Country is such a formulaic genre that I'm not surprised. No innovators like Cash anymore, at least not mainstreamed, since breaking molds aren't as marketable. Fuck, every country song that plays on that godforsaken clear-channel run station where I live seems to blend into one amalgamation, a tumor of nothing but lists of tragedies; My dog died, my car won't start, my wife left me, etc., all finished with countless mentions of the fucking "whiskey kisses".

Nu-Music in general is so formulaic that AI is having such an easy time replicating it.
