There's definitely a lot of crossover with country and other genres... not just rap, but also rock and pop. There's an argument to be made, in fact, that a lot of popular songs that are released as country nowadays are essentially in the same lineage as popular mainstream rock, and probably would have been released as rock songs 20 or 30 years ago - but for whatever reason, mainstream rock kind of disappeared, and those things moved into country or pop. It's interesting. I think a lot of it has to do with demographics and fandoms - country still has a massive devoted fanbase that a lot of other genres don't, but it also has a lot of potential general popularity, and there's no other genre that can really say that.

As for me, I prefer the really old school country and the alt country stuff - I know that's kind of a cliched opinion to have, but it's still true. I don't hate the modern poppy stuff, it just usually doesn't interest me as a rule. In terms of what genres I listen to most, I also jump around a lot, but my natural home seems to be generally alternative/indie rock more than anything else. I seem to return to that.

Also "country" music still sells albums. Other than the mega artists, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Jay-Z, country artists top the charts and sill more physical albums than most other genres.

NYC music is a good example, the rock station vanished several years ago to become a pop station. Then an alt rock station came on and became a sports talk station. Just last year, after 17 years with no country station, one appears and it's super popular.

Another good look at the trends would be to take a look at The Voice and the winner. Juliet Simms, the runner up to Season 2, was in the bad Automatic Loveletter and sang a few songs with All Time Low. PRIOR to auditioning for The Voice! Season three's winner, Cassadee Pope (who I adore) was in a pop punk rock band Hey Monday prior to the Voice and went solo and has now released a country album. The Season 4 winner, Danielle, also released a country single.

Look at the American Idol winners who have been long lasting. Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Scotty McCreery, they're all country artists (or so-called country, Kelly Clarkson has switched genres)
