Jason and Travis Kelce discuss what music might be like in the future
In the June 19 episode of the podcast, the former Philadelphia Eagles player discussed the idea of the siblings visiting the future and what music might be like then.
Jason remarked, "I feel like I can't go into the future because even trying to relate to, like, kids coming up now… I can't even think about kids 40 years from now. Like, this is gonna be weird. What's the music gonna be in 40 years?"
He also shared his views on contemporary music genres such as hip-hop and country, as People reported.
Jason stated, "Hip-hop in the nineties and hip-hop in the eighties when it was done by, like, dudes that were living that life hits way different than, like, now when it's like auto-tune renditions."
He continued, "It's the same thing in country music. If I have to hear one more country song that's like, ‘I got my boots in my truck going through the fields'. Like, what the f**king are we talking about? That's not country music. That's not country music."
Jason added, "Put on some f***ing Willie Nelson. I am tired of country music and what it has become. It is horse****. Horse****."
Travis then shared his take on country music, "[I] like some of the country music coming out." They both agreed on a few country singers they enjoy.
Jason emphasized, "Like, I can listen to modern country, and I can listen to, like, modern hip-hop when I'm out in the right environment. But listening to it to, like, really enjoy it, like Willie Nelson, to me, the way he wrote songs, like Chris Stapleton, obviously, right now."
Travis added, "He's a super performer, That's what I'm saying. It's a band. When you're playing the music and got a voice like that, that's forever."
Jason concluded, "Tried and true."
Internet agrees with Jason Kelce's claims on country music
After Jason shared his views on country music, the internet was abuzz, with numerous users posting their reactions on Facebook.

An individual who agreed with Jason claimed, "Exactly right! Country is becoming more pop than traditional music! We need more Hank Williams Jr., David Allan Coe, Johnny Cash, etc!!" One user questioned, "So is he a music critic now?"
A user commented, "Well, that is his choice. I have heard some of it and it's ok. But it doesn't sound like it used to. I mean some of it is great but not all of it."
