Besides, “purist” is more a code word for “conservative,” which is just as much of an assumption. Sorry, but country purists don’t praise artists like John Moreland and Caitlyn Smith. In truth, most actual country purists can’t wait to see this site throw a 404 Error forevermore. How could two separate writers both come to the same conclusion of Saving Country Music’s place in the country world in the first couple of paragraphs of their Sam Hunt reviews? Because they’re both working off the same cheat sheet versions of country in media echo chambers. When you see phrases such as “I never knew I liked country until I heard Sam Hunt” alongside vociferous praise for his forward-thinking and critically-important version of evolved country, you know you’re consuming the opinions of a dupe whose completely out of their depth.Īnother tell tale sign is when they label a site like Saving Country Music as “purist.” That’s what both Slate and Pitchfork did while slathering their praise upon Sam’s most recent monstrosity, Southside. Beyond making a really bad amalgam of derivative and formulaic rap pop by ripping off the styles of Drake and trap beat artists to only then turn around and sell it as country to the gullible masses, Sam Hunt is also superlative at turning hip-hop, pop, and indie rock writers into certified country music experts by the sheer release of new shitty music.
