Why Country Music?

I feel so lucky to be a Xennial. We grew up in the best time, musically. We transitioned from hair bands to emo. From early hip hop to EDM. I’ll listen to just about anything, with the exception of popular country music. I even enjoy the 80’s soft rock that plays in the grocery store. It brings me back to riding in the back of my mom’s station wagon, staring out at the rain, guessing which drop of water was going to win the race to the back of the window. I work with a bunch of Gen Zers and all they want to listen to is country music. I have a fear that someday we’ll be old, walking through the grocery store, stuck listening to the “classics” by Morgan Wallen, Tyler Hubbard, and Jason Aldean. Am I the only one who laments this shift toward country music? Help restore my faith in humanity by telling me what non-country music my fellow Xennials have been listening to this week!
