YouTuber bijru reminds us of the passage of time and just how influential the iPhone has been.

There’s a subgenre of country music that’s all about beer, dirt, trucks, and women. There I Ruined It created what he says is “what bro-country sounds like to people who don’t like bro-country.” The track, Got a Beer in My Beer, features a dog that drives a pickup while wearing cutoff jeans. We hope he’s not drinking that beer while driving.
