   But apparently they're both in the number 1 and number 2 on some music chart thing which hasn't been done since 1981 with Dolly Parton and Eddie Rabbitt.

   What are the cultural implications of this?

   I just looked at this. This shit doesn't even rhyme. It's horrible compared to a lot of country music that's been put out over the past 15-20 years.

   I remember being with my kids mom and this song came on when I was with my kids mom driving through the country where they played 90s country music. And I said something about the song being about this woman pimping her daughter out and she was like that's not what it's about and I'm like bitch listen to the song.

   I didn’t realize what Fancy was about until I watched the video a few years ago with a bunch of my friends. Rednecks really like to belt that shit but not that night. The room got really quiet and I was like goddamn Reba.

   There were some decent traditional sounding people from the late 2000's.
   
   And I think Taylor Swift is probably a tranny but I would take her country music over theirs anyday.

    I think there are just a lot of really simple people who like really shitty music.
    
    You could dissect the Morgan Wallen thing on a socio-political level.

    Why is this guy like 600lbs? I guess Luke Combs made it fashionable but there's no excuse for that.
    
    I like Koe Wetzel. But this was kind of about country music having pop success at times when it seems the shittiest.

    he's got a food travel show on a government channel here, he just gets high and eats truckloads of burgers.
    
    I first heard of him like 10 years ago when he was rapping though, had a friend who liked him, no idea why
