You can like Bro-Country and also realize it's trashy and disposable. I love Country music and that includes some Bro Country like FGL and Luke Bryan, as well as a lot of Pop-Country. It's just good music for driving or grilling outside and having a drink but it's not what I'd recommend to someone when trying to get them into Country.
I like a diverse set of music but Country and Pop are my favorites so of course I'm going to like that crossover music, even though I also love the classics and artists like Sturgill, Childers, Jinks, etc. I honestly think Storf is in the same category where he loves Country music in general, but also has a soft spot for some Bro-Country. Doesnt mean he's going to pick them for curation and I honestly think it would be harder to get the licensing rights on those if he even wanted to.
Let's remember that Storfs responsible for virtually all of the Country exclusives and that includes classic reissues like Loretta, Willie, and Dolly, as well as current artists like Paul Cauthen, Cody Jinks, Margo Price, Jason Isbell, Courtney Marie Anderson, etc. Never a bro-country pick.
