Do new "country" music fans realize they are listening to pop music? Can Dwight Yoakum create a super guitar that produces face melting twang solos and save Country?

Sorry naysayers, it's not just about your era. I grew up with 70's country, but appreciate 40's, 50's, and 60's country. 80's are okay too.

I appreciate a little variety in my musical preferences. I never noticed that this "new" country sounded more like pop music, though Shania, Faith and the Dixie Chicks have made successful crossovers into pop, and they still have videos played on CMT. Alan Jackson still does face melting twang solos, though, as do George Strait and Broooks and Dunn, so it shouldn't be a total loss.
This reason why this new country would be called "pop" music is because it stems from the word "popular." Shania has said this in a televised interview

Dwight Yoakum....hmmm...never liked him....If you dont like todays country then dont listen to it...I enjoy pretty much all country....granted I was born in the 80s...but I love the older stuff (80s) I love the stuff from the 90s and I generally for the most part like the stuff today.....its just an era of when you started listening to it!

not all new country is like that... and true country fans do know that.... however country music knows that young people don't like the old type of country and are therefore working to "convert" them... Old country will always be better then the pop stuff.
One things for sure, George Strait isn't going to that side.... As long as he stays where he is I'll be fine.

OK hate to break it to people but POP is a GENRE. Don't give me that crap that oh it stems from Popular. No it is a GENRE and you don't want to ADMIT what you are doing. I know most new country that gets real airtime is really pop. I accept it and buy CDs of certain artists I like and listen to them instead.
