Pejorative

[edit]

I removed the following:

# {{context|pejorative|lang=en}} Any [[country music]] that sounds more like [[popular music]] than traditional forms of country (e.g. [[honky tonk]]).

===Usage notes=== The term '''country pop''' is often used as a catch-all when referring to country music produced after 1990, when artists such as Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill rose to fame and their styles became very popular.

Because it isn't necessary. All pop music is criticized by people who don't like pop music, that's not part of the definition. Blues purists use blues-rock as a pejorative because they don't like rock. Quiet Storm-haters use Quiet Storm as a pejorative. That's not even encyclopedic.
