It's interchangeable with rap when heard from a distance.  Same thumpty beat, autotune, etc.  And, what about all the non-verbal shit like, woo ee wo we woo ww, and so on.

Terrible and childish non-music.

Frequently enjoyed by the slack-jawed, flat brim, and Oakley wearing pukes that cruise my area.

that's because the same producers work on the 2 genre's.

Jason Boland & The Stragglers
Whitey Morgan & The 78s
Turnpike Troubadors
Sturgill Simpson
Chris Stapleton
Cody Jinks
Stoney LaRue

More in the Americana camp, but I also really, really dig The White Buffalo.

Modern country is like most everything else - the pop radio version of it blows, but dig a little deeper and you'll find a ton of good country.

the bolded section can't be said enough for just about any genre these days.

To be fair, there's a lot of pretty risque stuff in all the genres of music.  "You can leave your hat on" is pretty tame, and also 50 years old now.  My biggest problem with country lyrics, aside from the fake accent you mentioned, is the lack of originality.  Find a cliche, then twelve more, string them together somehow, doesn't matter how, and there's your song.

Ugh.

Been that way for a very long time though.

Country music is obsessed with fornication, addiction, obsession, transportation, and fornication.  Most of it is stupid and the rest is pretty hokey.  

But at least you can dance to it.  My wife and I go C&W dancing every weekend and have a wonderful time.

But the 'Murica songs, the unimaginative plays on words, the stupid fake country accents, and the bad grammar make you want to slam your head against the wall most of the time.

If I hear about that black dress hitting the floor one more time I'm going to climb onto a locomotive and crush grandma under its clacking wheels.

Mainstream country and mainstream rap are simply two variants of the same formula of cliche "lifestyle" music.

Check out Jason Isbell.  He is not so much country as southern Americana, but he is a bad ass singer/songwriter.

So you're the guy who stole my CD collection back in 2001.... Black & Silver Dodge Ram parked behind the bars on Fry Street in Denton?  Big Case Logic binder?  Fess up.

Great stuff, and real country music (including the Old 97's. Sorta.)

Here's what you do, take everything from the first video, and when you hear it in a song, do a shot. After about the third or fourth song they start to sound good.
