I fully agree, though that goes for a lot of things. Outlaw country did leave some descendants around. I find that "Gothic country" tends to be quite good, though it definitely diverges from standard country quite significantly (Colter Wall is a good introduction here). The most obvious influence there would be the American series by Johnny Cash. Though the only issue is that these genres dont really counter mainstream country at all anymore (in the same way that outlaw did with nashville) because they're quite obscure. The highwaymen were counter cultural and arguably some of the most famous artists around back then, and posed a legitimate problem for nashville's sales. You just don't get that anymore, nothing challenges "nashville" anymore.
What's sad is that Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson were probably far more famous than any mainstream artist and indeed they even became the mainstream. But Colter Wall or the Dead South aren't ever gonna be anywhere near as famous as hacks like Luke Bryan or Florida Georgia Line.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
