Viral Video Shows How Formulatic Country Music Has Become

A video making the newsfeeds of many Facebook pages over the weekend purports to show "how much Country pop music sucks nowadays".

The video was originally posted on YouTube by an aspiring songwriter/producer living in Nashville who, like so many, has had a hard time getting a bite from the "gate keepers".

The video is a mashup of six six Country songs.

All of them sound alike. There ain’t nothin’ “original” added to the mix. “Original” never got anywhere close to the these songs to begin with!

The offending songs put under the microscope for evaluation are:
  • “Sure Be Cool If You Did”- Blake Shelton
  • “Drunk on You”- Luke Bryan
  • “Chillin’ It”- Cole Swindell
  • “Close Your Eyes”- Parmalee
  • “This is How We Roll”- Florida Georgia Line
  • “Ready, Set, Roll”- Chase Rice
