The actual label for what the genre of music most people call "modern country". Since new country doesn't resemble actual country music from the likes of Roy Clark, Willie Nelson, or Dolly Parton (among others), and does resemble bad 1990s pop music with an added steel guitar and twangy accent telling stories about redneck fantasies (driving pickup down a dirt road with a girl in tight blue jeans, mostly, but sometimes partying and drinking cheap beer), it's not really accurate to call it "country music" when it's really more about the redneck lifestyle and lack of musical diversity.
"That ain't no country station. All they play is redneck pop. Find a station with some Roy Clark, man."
