Country vs "Country"

I've noticed a disturbing trend recently after expanding my musical selection that i listen to on a regular basis. many current songs in the country genre are not really country at all, at least not in the sense of the music it was and used to be known. I'm going to link to a couple examples that i will reference through this post.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdImDqbgc2g   < Jason Aldean
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4SurKqVAAI   <Johnny Cash

these songs are vastly different yet lumped in together in most genre charts. one of the main differences is the vocal style. in the current top country song, Burnin it down by Jason Aldean he uses a very twangy tenor singing style. johnny cash in his song "a boy named sue" used a low gravely natural voice. while this is noted for being their respected voices, it is also an embodiment of common sounds from their time periods. even the word use is very different. Aldean uses 327 words in his song. cash uses 598, which is almost double the total number of words.
the background structure is also different. in Aldeans song he has 4 different writers. cash uses only one, personal friend Shel Silverstein. the band is also different. Aldean makes use of a drum loop, himself as a singer, a guitarist, a bassist, an actual drummer, and a man working on putting it all together most likely. as far as can be seen, cash only uses himself as a vocalist and a guitarist, a man on the drums, and a man on the bass.
