pbrewer+FollowNashville Feels Fake Now — Country Music Sold Its Soul 🎸 I went to Nashville for the music. I wanted smoky bars, worn-out guitars, voices that told stories. Instead, I found rooftop DJs blasting pop remixes and tourists in fake cowboy hats taking shots of tequila at noon. Every bar on Broadway looked the same — neon signs, plastic boots, “Yeehaw!” screams. It felt like country music had turned into a costume, something to sell rather than something to feel. I met an old musician outside one night. He said, “We used to play songs about real pain. Now they play about pickup trucks and beer brands.” I guess the soul of Nashville isn’t gone — it’s just been priced out. #Travel #Nashville #CultureLoss34392Share
