Honestly, what is any music today beyond a mix of pop/rap/country. I tihnk it’s good that genres borrow from each other. I still remember when Run DMC played Walk This Way.
But I’m afraid today (and maybe then too), it’s just the label creating the easiest, most marketable sound.
I don’t feel like calling something country or rap or pop even makes sense anymore. I would include rock but true rock is dead. Metal died 20 years ago, but we don’t even have groups like Pearl Jam or the Stones anymore.
