    Outlaw country still exists and garbage pop country has been a thing since the 60s. Stop listening to the Top 40.

          Country post-punk is an amazing invention.

          heavy breathing intensifies

          …somehow I’d missed that band (and entire subgenre, frankly). Thanks for the tip
