We have to thank uploader Mr Grady Smith for this video "Why Country Music Was Awful in 2013".
He has isolated lyrics in mainstream (nu) country music for the year. If you'd like replace this style with most other mainstream pop, rock, metal or rap, the lyrics may alter but the formula will not. We are now waist deep in the crap.
Let's hope it's 'Vive la difference' for 2014.

"I was inspired to make this supercut after posting my 10 Best Country Albums of 2013 list for EW. A few commenters told me that my choices weren't mainstream enough, and I thought, "Well, yeah, because so much of what's on the radio these days sounds exactly the same!" So I decided to make a video to prove my point.
I hope country fans will stop settling for this derivative junk. I love a dumb party song every once in a while (including some of these!), but when they're the only flavor available, they get old very, very fast."
