“I don’t want to be a country musician. Everyone calls me it. I want to be a songwriter, and you’re quintessentially a songwriter,” he said. “No one calls Bruce Springsteen — hate to use your name in front of you — but no one calls Bruce Springsteen a freaking rock musician, which you are one, but you’re also an indie musician, you’re also a country musician. You’re all these things encapsulated in one man. And that’s what songwriting is.”

Plenty of people call Bruce a Rock artist but I feel him

He would make good pop songs and is a great writer

I feel like he does touch on other genres also

like he's primarily country still but I hear a lot of blues, bluegrass, alternative stuff from him too

more Springsteen than Travis Tritt basically lol

I don't really get why they complain about it too much

Like even if people attach certain labels to them they can still make whatever music they want to basically

And then if the music stopped fitting the label applied to them the label would change

I don't get why it's something to be mad about

I think his label deal is up after Bar Scene so we'll see what he dips into once he's independent again but yeah lol I don't personally see him as a country artist in the same way as a Morgan Wallen or whoever the f*** but his music while having other elements in it is definitely heavy on the country aspect

I don't really see Morgan wallen as pure country though

To me I would apply that label moreso to Zach than Morgan wallen

Like Morgan wallen is country pop/bro country and Zach Bryan is more traditional country to me

you're prly right lol tbf I don't listen to Morgan and barely listen to country outside of Zach, some Jelly Roll, etc. I'm more into bluegrass and folk but the straight up more generic country stuff I can't get into
