Yeah, I don't have or do any of that, but your hatred for rural Americans is noted.

Would you rather have your penis bitten by a baby crocodile, or eat a delicious bowl of oatmeal?

I'm amazed that the indie rock tropes annoy trag, but the bro country tropes compel him

Re: the War on Drugs song, I like the way the synth melody interacts with the lead guitar near the end, creates some real nice sounds

I also struggle with them, mostly because of the singing.. but I can appreciate some aspects of their music sometimes

All the songs I know of theirs are bad. I guess if I had to say something nice I'd say that their ripoff of Pachelbel's Canon in D is more transparent than most.

I can’t really divorce music from the production choices, and when I listen to TWOD, I hear a deluge of recent indie tropes just slathered on top of each other; but at the heart of it is, to my ears, a very forgettable song. I find nothing interesting about this song.
The Hayes song, at least to me, offers some commercial and formulaic choices that I can appreciate in a weird sort of way. The whole bro country thing is an interesting phenomenon to me, even if I hate every song I’ve heard from the genre. But the crisp, squashed production, the sampled drums, the dumb hook: I can kind of appreciate this stuff, and most vapid pop music, as a sort of commercial jig saw puzzle. When everything clicks together — the song, the production, the video, the artist’s brand identity — I can kind of step back and say “hey, not a bad effort at connecting with a particular market segment.”
I totally respect your alternative opinion and understand why none of this might make sense to you.
You're an idiot and you should feel bad about yourself.
