He disowned the CMA awards a few years ago after he got no nominations too. Said he doesn’t care about them and doesn’t want to be part of the establishment. Also did not submit to the Grammys this year

Guys like Waylon and Bobby Bare always straddled the line between country, folk and rock the same way Zach does so I see what he's saying

Didn't submit to the Grammys? Real fella alert.

Zach a young goat tho regardless

he's already got plenty of that honestly. I'd also say his debut is much more folk than country. some of his music has definitely got that thing where it's only really country because he sings with an accent

its kinda funny because I've seen a lot of country fans online claim he's not even country at all and just a folk artist

yeah

zach is more like alt country and also folk i'd say. I might say he's a little bit more country than Morgan Wallen but honestly it's pretty close, I think theyre both crossover country artists coming from opposite sides

Completely valid point to be fair

When I think of country music my mind goes to something closer to what Zach Bryan makes

Not really Morgan wallen which often just sounds 2010s pop music but with a guitar and a southern accent

I agree both incorporate elements from other genres but I'd consider the genres/elements Zach incorporates closer to what I'd consider to be traditional country stuff

Zach Malone i'm crine

yeah thats true but sometimes Morgan does make songs that are much more country than basically any of Zachs

and he also just has a more stereotypical country singer accent too

That does sound closer to normal country music but idk to me it's so glossy and like bubblegum-ey still

Like when I think of country I think of something closer to this

I’ll never understand what’s wrong with being considered the genre you are a part of. I think it’s implied you’re a songwriter but idk

well yeah but this is also his kinda parody song of that typical country style

I also dislike it

But it still sounds more authentic to what I imagine country as even as a parody

Wallen's most country songs are more like the 90s-2000s mainstream style of country. like tim mcgraw and stuff like that. it is still glossy and very poppy and a lot of the purists would say its not "real country" but its still super recognizable sound and sounds very country to most people (again largely just due to accent)

When I think of country I think of stuff like this

I think my brain skips over the 90s-2000s stuff because I hated growing up having to hear it lol

Seems like no one wants to be a prisoner to genre labels these days...smh!

this is hilarious btw lmfaooooosdso

Zach da 🐐 no cap

Zach Bryan is a good artist

Was that a dig at Beyoncé? First person I thought of was post

Idk anything about Zach Bryan’s music really maybe a few songs but he seems like a sweet guy from interviews I’ve seen

Not a dig, just an observation on the album content + how it's been received by them country folks

Not a dig from you, I meant from Luke Bryan
