Bro-country dominated a large part of the 2010s, so how did it come to an end?<\/p>\n
Hardy might have the answer.<\/p>\n
He recently talked about it on the podcast, “Bussin’ with the Boys”.<\/p>\n
“I do feel like I am a part of a class of artists, me, Jelly, Morgan, Ernest, Lainey Wilson, that have been a part of a shift in country music that brought a wave of normalcy. Like normal people singing a little bit more about normal [stuff] and that sort of resonates with a huge, mass crowd of people.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hardy added that the bro-country phase had a quote, “larger-than-life persona.”<\/p>\n
And he thinks that all came to an end because people just sing about normal stuff now, and a lot of people, especially in smaller towns, relate to that.<\/p>\n
