Year there was the summer country lush and was nowhere to be stumbling bro state dominated genre more on display than in Luke Bryan Pittsburgh Stadium show on June 21.
Spring-break-competing binge was not just a day rule in stadiums and arenas - booze and tunes of live drowned as well. Top 100 of the Billboard Hot Country Songs in 2014, a whopping 68 featured references to drinking.
If it was hard not to be cynical about the dependence of country music on alcohol in 2013, now it is simply impossible.

I really like the new country music I never was a country music fan until the new country music started playing

Country has always had drinking songs but the Jones, Haggard and Co. referenced being trashed and/or drinking continuously as pretty much a negative thing while now it seems being trashed is described as something to aspire to. Besides it's not all about alcohol anymore. There's a whole lot of chemical interaction going on which ads a new ugly slant to the whole mess.
