    What kind of dates are we calling “old country” vs “new country”

    I heard a lot of commentary like this when I was in college in the 90’s

      That’s around the time the swap was happening, heart felt ballads about the trials of life vs upbeat I’m the greatest and I don’t take crap.

      It’s not that there’s no new country that’s good, but most of what people call country is just twangy pop. I blame twangy pop for a lot of the nationalism we see now.
