"Howdy, par'ner! Muh name is Josh Markowitz- uh, I mean Josh City, and I'm a young rootin'-tootin' boot-scootin' hunk from Brooklyn! I mean Nashville! Golly whiz, muh parents have owned a bank here in Music City since forever. I mean, that's muh dad's side, my mom is a poor seamstress. I'm Born Country!
"I like dogs, pickup trucks, gettin' drunk, gettin' loud, and cryin' about women, just like you do! I love all people, 'specially Mexican women 'cause I love the way they talk, even though I don't understand it! Ha! Ha! Ha! But you know one thing I don't feel right about? I ain't got no time or truck for all the antisemitism we see nowadays. Yessir, racism and that there ol' ignut antisemitism walks on the fightin' side of me!
"So remember to download my new album 'No Fences, No Walls' and listen to my newest singles 'Give Hate the Cowboy Boot!' and 'Hate Ain't Kosher' ('kosher' is a cool word that means 'cool')."

This is what cuntry music mostly is now, in my listening experience. "New Country," they started calling it 25+ years ago. And they still call it that.
Alan Jackson had a song about it (sort of...obviously he doesn't name them and the song could be considered a kind of *celebration* of it).
GONE COUNTRY single by Alan Jackson, released 1994
