New country has been too pop for ten years or better.

I'll start refering to this kind of music as country, when someone tells me how they are country. Twang and a southern accent don't make you a country artist. F*ck every musician that falls in this category.

yeah.. the fact that someone from american idol became a country singer kinda finalized the whole idea that current day country has become pop.

It depends on the artists you are looking for, but most of the current crop of popular country tends to be pop oriented, at least in the mainstream as you would expect, which isn't always a bad thing. Of course there are musicians such as Hank Williams III that go against the grain which is also a good thing for country music. In my opinion the two styles compliment each other even though their are stylistic boundaries.

It really depends on who you listen to. Rascal Flatts is Pop Country and George Strait is Texas Country. As for the new stuff, most of it is too Pop.

Shania Twain is most certainly NOT Southern.
