Its kindof goofy and also there isnt much of america that actually lives in rural areas. America was largely rural before WW2 but that war changed many things about American life

Because the south has really bad tastes that have warped from living in inferiority since the war.

I just dont get it. I just saw a dude dressed in a goofy black hat and his guitar player in modern country clothes singing this stupid song. America is no longer rural. I bet both of them are city boys in costumes

Sing the music but dont dress up like clowns.

Country music celebrates ignorance. There are a lot of dumb people out there who enjoy the validation of their stupidity afforded by country music.

Because it is good music. I'm sure the elites who never listen to anything they are not told to listen to might not agree. I like all music myself. It is sounds good it's good.

This.


I hated country music for the longest time, but I think that was due to growing up with only a country music radio station available through my teens. It's definitely not the only thing I like listening to. Some of it is really good though. I've been digging some of the country/rap collabo's too.

The roots of Rock and Roll are what today would be considered country music. The music is simple and appealing, I,IV,V chord patterns are pleasing to listen to. However when you put lyrics to it....all bets are off.

Waaaaaaay back when, country and blues were the same music. Then, in order to market the music, record labels began to brand the music. The same song, sung the same way by a black guy was called blues. When sung by a white guy it was marketed as country. In time they diverged. But they share the same roots. That's why old country and blues are both about loss and heartache.

Old country is awesome. This new crap is putrid. It's like Debbie Gibson put on a stetson or something.

Country music is what pop was 20 years ago.

Full of individuals trying to make themselves heard over the crowd noise.

It's not that it's great music, it's that it's bland and easy to digest...just like pop used to be. You can fill a country song with stupid lines that glorify anything you want, and someone is going to love whatever you are glorifying. Booze, wife being a whore, dog dying, truck gets you pussy.....those are themes that hundreds of millions of Americans can relate to.

The same can't be said for whoever the hell is currently popular in non-country pop music. Gaga? That hot chick who was married to that crazy UK dude? Hip hop? No.....

Country is the last bastion for the "I take care of myself and no one helps me cause I get a SSI check every damn month bitch" crowd.
