    I don’t generally listen to this genre but the other day I was at some local pizza joint and they had an all-country playlist going. Every single song we heard featured lyrics about:

    1. driving, often specifically in a truck
    2. nostalgia (either for summer, a beach, or camping)
    3. alcohol (all but one song specifically about beer)

    As I noticed this, I thought to myself that these songs could very easily be AI-generated. Of course this isn’t specific to country music, but it is funny to see this story just after I was thinking about it a few days ago.

      That one song was about whiskey, wasn’t it?

        Surprisingly it was about getting wine-drunk

      Every pop country song has this sickeningly sweet vocal pitch correction that makes me want to throw up

      Now a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song

      And he told me it was the perfect country and western song.

      Well, I wrote him back a letter and told him it could not be the perfect country and western song

      Because he hadn’t said anything at all about mama,
      or trains,
      or trucks,
      or prison,
      or gettin’ drunk.

      It’s super formulaic, especially the “list of country stuff” songs
