Onemusic - Orwellian Country Music 2005 Prediction

Note: You're probably wondering how
I got started on this "Orwellian Music Theme".
Well, it began very easily... I was watching
a commercial, for Nike maybe. There were these
old folks dancing "polka style" to hip-hop music.
Later, some break dancers were wearing cowboy hats
and jammin' to a banjo.

Cute. Entertaining.

Until Tim McGraw hit the hip-hop scene.
Mustard hit the windshield.

This ain't no joke > it's happening.
On with the story.
-----------
(Quote) A music dies when it becomes
a parody of itself, which has happened
to some extent with rock...
---Chet Atkins, Dec. 15, 1974 People Magazine

Thirty years later, we see rock artists
like Kid Rock cross into country, and
Tim McGraw ventures onto the hip-hop scene.

I believe, (and you may or may not agree), the music industry as a whole is in turmoil. Companies, artists, and groups jockeying for position in a rapidly changing digital world.

This I can predict... the music industry consolidate and attempt to widen their appeal and shock the public. Top artists will increasingly cross boundaries.

Will it all be one music... someday?

It is right behind hip hop in terms of people's ability to identify a feel, a demographic, and a sense of rebellion when they hear the lyrics on many songs.If you look back into early to mid 90's it seemed that country music was on the decline. In fact, if you

When many people think of country music, they think of sad songs about lost loves, broken down trucks and runaway dogs. In their minds, they are hearing all of these woes sung in the traditional twangy country accents of the south. However, these perceptions of country music are far from where this style of music has evolved. Today, country music is one of the most popular genres of music, normally outsold only by rock and pop genres. Created in the late 19th century, country music has under gone many changes over the years. There are now many sub-genres to this type of music, with some of the sub-genres being
