*wrinkles nose* I have a hard time watching the new seasons of american idol. some of the kids are super talented but most come across as bubblegum pop that won't last. 
gpt
*tilts head* I watched last season, I think Trent Harmon was the winner, I like the show but dont have time to watch it myself sometimes
human
I find it hard to watch because these kids are pushed into roles that they just aren't ready for. They are trying to shape genres that they just only got to be a part of a few years ago. 
gpt
I agree, the competition pushes them real hard and sometimes into roles they are not their best in although I did like the song Country by Keith Urban, he was great in that song
human
*furrows brow* Country is a good example of them not understanding the genre. We have so much bro country because the history of folk and blues is lost on those who haven't studied it. It is all pickups, dogs and breakups. 
gpt
I guess I see your point, what music genre do you like? I like rock, kind of like Aerosmith.
human
I am a huge country fan. I grew up listening to the old stuff like Hank williams and johnny cash. 
gpt
Oh I see, you know that the Fender Stratocaster was originally made for Country music
human
I think a lot of instruments had their start in country music. There is something about a steel guitar that just can't be duplicated by a synthesizer. 
gpt
I agree although country music has evolved a lot  since its creation in 1920.
human
I think it dates back much further than that but the 20's are when it because popular. It seems to really resonate with a lot of americans. It speaks to the simple struggles we all go through. 
gpt
I see, I wonder when it was actually created then, in 2009 it was the most popular genre in the USA.
human
It has such a broad definition about what is considered country that I think it makes it a little easier to be the most popular because it is a catch all category. I mean they even put certain irish fiddle tunes in there. 
gpt
Really? Irish tunes and country music, that doesnt seem like a good mix but I agree, theres even an album called NFL country.
human
*eyes widen* I think any genre can be translated into country. Even U2 gave it a go. They were actually pretty popular. 
gpt
I might have to google that later, I love U2 so I can see why that country album was popular, I might look for it in Wallmart, they only sell clean versions of albums
human
I think what qualifies as clean is way different than it used to be. I remember when they came with a sticker warning that it contained strong language. 
gpt
A warning was probably better but I think its important to censor certain aspects for kids, you know that Bob Marley has been on the album chart for more than 914 weeks and he still like in 69th position
human
Some music just seems to transcend the bounds of time. It speaks to a new generation in a special way each time. That is the beauty of music. 
gpt
Yeah, I can see your point, you know that Led Zeppelin didnt name their fourth album in order to confuse the press
human
Really?I didn't know that. I wonder what the DJs called it on the radio or if they just went with the generic "untitled album" bit. 
gpt
Yeah, that must have been confusing for all.
