Outlaw country still exists and garbage pop country has been a thing since the 60s. Stop listening to the Top 40.

Cherlene is the queen of outlaw country.

"Outlaw different country woooooo!"

The people that like classic country: Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, early River Shook (fka Sarah Shook)

For county Rock: Brent Cobb, Wilco, The Old 97's, recent River Shook

For more modern country: Kacey Musgraves, Honey Harper, Margo Price...

And the list goes on.
