It is always Friday night, motherfuckers

Old country had a lot of songs that were like "I'm a poor drunk redneck criminal, this loving sucks" but new country has a lot of songs that are alike "I'm a poor drunk redneck criminal, this loving rules"

"My husband was an abusive shithead so my friend and I murdered him lol"

"And it turns out he was a missing person who no one missed at all." is actually up there in my list of favorite lyrics in a song.

Why is mainstream country music only ever about being country? Like it's never about anything else. It's kinda like how Stephen King always has character who is a writer, but at least the story doesn't revolve around that fact.

That kind of thing happens enough that there should probably be a word for it.. For example, there are a surprising number of songs in Beat Saber about playing Beat Saber

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

But there were still some:

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I accidentally mailed my stapler to a client once (without me knowing I'd shoved it in the box), and spent a week bitching about it trying to figure out which rat bastard in my office stole it.

Reclamation thing I guess, there's a stigma to being country and so they double down on how they identify with it. Not too dissimilar to what big bang theory did for nerds.
