    Has country music reached peak cringe?

    I was just driving home from work listening to my local talk radio station. They sometimes play songs from local artists. One of the country songs had the following lyric:

    “It’s heavenly love right here on earth. When a momma’s boy meets a daddy’s girl.”

    The level of cringe I experienced upon hearing this cannot be described in words.

    What’s the most cringeworthy country music lyric you’ve heard?
    Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -Thomas Jefferson

    Wow, is that a real lyric? Jeez.

    Shouldn't be surprised though, I was raised on country music and it's been getting pretty bad for a long time, at least as far as the mainstream goes.

    Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

    ....have you heard Tim McGraw's "Refried Dreams" or "Don't Take the Girl"?

    Because those songs are truly cringe, and, btw, some of the only country songs I love.

    Yeah, this isn't a new thing. In fact, here's a video about songs from 3013. Not too long ago, but it shows exactly how mainstream country music is so predictable nowadays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WySgNm8qH-I

    And this guy did a mashup of SIX songs, and it's just...mind-blowing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY8SwIvxj8o

    I heard this on the radio, and as tacky as it is... the song is quite catchy
