“Americana” is the catch-all I’ve been seeing.

Yes! country used to be hella good and now it's so bad and I feel like I must really be getting old because now like 50% of my Jezebel comments are about how the music these days is bad and the kids don't know what's good 😂😂

Not that anyone cares what I think, but here’s a good start:

I'd claim the Male artists on Billboard's Country Charts aren't even Country.  The industry rediscovered 70s style corporate rock schlock and it's all went to hell since.

Firstly, no shit.

I figured it’d be the Haitian lady with the zombie dog.

When I’m rich, I’m going to name my poodle “Dorian Corey” after the drag queen who had a mummified corpse hidden in her closet.

he’s taking Trazodone, a tranquilizer. (“One tablet orally up to three times daily as needed for calming during construction,” the bottle helpfully directs.)

God bless the rich old lady who named her poodle “Dorian Gray”.

I worked in a highly regarded psychiatric hospital in the early 1990s. The clinicians there were all about the Satanic Panic, and nearly every white adolescent who came in with a history of sexual abuse and dissociative disorder was pronounced to be “cult abused.” One clinician gave a big lecture to the rest of the…

Prison guards and the prison system are wholly responsible for ANY and ALL violence that occurs in the facilities they are running.
