Modern country music is a guy wearing a flannel shirt and cowboy hat, carrying a guitar. 80’s hair metal was a guy with big hair wearing leather pants. The sound of each genre is homogenous. Each performer has a catchy song or two, but damned if I can say who does what song. Straightforward rock with the occasional ballad as a change up. Bands in each genre seem to have identical instrumentation. Throw a few women in the mix for both.

Am I wrong?
