Is really just pop music but the singer has a southern accent.

It's been that way for a while. And the lyrics tend to be about beer and F150s instead of champagne and Lamborghinis. But yeah.

I've never heard anyone ever tell me that they like pop country when they say they like country. They're always like "Oh but I don't listen to that new crap, I like old country like Johnny Cash." and I can't help but wonder who does listen to that crap. Obviously someone is, else they wouldn't keep making it, and yet here we are.

People seem to rag on pop music all the time in general, yet obviously millions of people are apparently listening to all of it lmao

I call that kind of music "not country". It's a whole subgenre at this point.

Ronnie Milsap predates 2007 by quite a while.

If nobody listened to it, it wouldn't be pop music. It wouldn't be popular music

It's better that way. Most modern country is semi-tolerable -- unlike the twangy 90s.

Well they kinda mean different things honestly. Pop music is a type of sound and song structure, and it's entirely possible to make pop music that isn't actually popular lol

Nope, there really are country songs that are that generic. Before I listened to it I had another song come up in my head that was basically the same thing.

While I cant stand country pop, I can at least respect it more than regular pop. Country pop artists still use some actual instruments while pop singers dont use shit.
