It’s hard to say exactly what “country” means these days, but even if you can’t define it, you know it when you hear it. “Last Night” by Morgan Wallen—the biggest song of 2023, and the defining country crossover hit of the 2020s—is country to the extent that Wallen sings in a macho Tennessee accent, though its wispy fingersnap beat almost sounds like ringtone rap.

There’s this window of the early 2010s that I’m obsessed with: let’s say from Flockaveli in October 2010 to when Avicii unleashed “Levels” in October 2011.
