Nationalism is at an all time low
Colton Wright
Define country.
I'm a country fan and each person I've shown Hank Williams to, regardless of race, age, etc, has liked him.
Hudson Rivera
Yeah I'm sure that's it user
Ryan Allen
Their musicians are not very open to experimentations, which results in a formulaic and bland genre.
Mason Bennett
The country-pop rise of the 90s and 2000s gave the genre and its tradition a bad name with a low-quality, formulaic style.
Ayden Martinez
This is the correct answer.
Jack King
Old country has a negative epithet with kids in that it's too wholesome while stadium country is viewed as poppy and formulaic. You can't win. Here's some Blaze Foley~

Pretty much this. There are many country artists with insane amounts of talent, but nobody is really pushing the genre forward.
Nathan Rivera
Rednecks and Southerners in general
Matthew Smith

It was better before Garth Brooks and the like. Whip out your Willy and share that more often; people tend to like the older stuff.
Owen Jenkins
These all have merit, not to mention modern bro-country is written by retarded inbred hick fucks, for an audience of retarded inbred hick fucks.
Logan Morales
Sounds embarrassing and awkward to non-English speakers, for one.
Noah Hernandez
>written by retarded inbred hick fucks, for an audience of retarded inbred hick fucks.
pretty much this. it's stupid, stereotype-perpetuating garbage that's made for people who are too stupid to think for themselves.
but i should also point out that country is actually statistically one of the most liked genres of music op

people who don't know who the carter family or jimmie rodgers are who talk shit about country music should throw themselves off a bridge
the genesis of popular music as we know it, everything from hendrix to cohen to your precious animal collectives wouldn't exist without it
Nathaniel Martinez
i think you mean blues. either way i don't think anyone is shit talking OG country. it's just the formulaic, uninspired modern radio crap that's awful
Jaxon Cruz
you have to go back
Aiden Lewis
no, i don't mean blues buddy
though i don't expect anyone around here to have the sense to realize folk blues gospel jazz and country all used to mean the same damn thing

Like it isn't written by jews like the rest of radio music.
Jeremiah Anderson
idk who it's written by, but the formula and lyrical content are definitely a construction of the US hegemony
Kevin Stewart
Jimmie Rodgers was actually considered just as much a blues artists as he was a "hillbilly" artist back in the day.
Brody Turner
Yes and Charlie Patton was considered a country artist
Though that's kind of what I was arguing in my post to begin with. American traditional music wasn't always evaluated with such stringent terms
Joseph Richardson
Metal is worse.

It's just, bland. And it's the same. And you could say that for every genre, but it's more hardcore with country.

a huge gap in culture. to a country fan, the machismo in rap, the moppiness in grunge, the edginess in metal, etc. probably sound just as ridiculous as the tropes in country. most media companies are based in cities, where southern culture is foreign and looked down upon.
Christian Jackson
>edginess in metal
dude....
Cooper Johnson
Basically this, most people can't really relate to torn denim jeans and a good ole pickup truck. I actually have pretty rural upbringings and cringe at most modern pop-country
There are diamonds in the rough like pic related though, a 9/10 for me
Justin Anderson
I also grew up in the country, and hate modern country music. It just doesn't speak to my actual experiences growing up. I never stole cigarettes out of my mom's purse to smoke with my girlfriend, I didn't like whiskey until I was in my 20s, I never liked trucks (bad fuel economy), and I don't like hunting.
Rural life for me was more about the freedom to do literally whatever I wanted on my parent's property, the ability to discover animals and plants without going anywhere, and having to make my own fun. People are more religious out in the rural areas, and you can be open about feeling sympathetic to the Confederates if you feel that way. Also, dial-up internet until 2006 and terrible cell reception.

>There are diamonds in the rough like pic related though, a 9/10 for me
The term diamonds in the rough implies that an album like TVZ's s/t is rather uncommon in country music. It's really not, the entire Progressive/Outlaw Country movement is filled with albums similar to that one.
Landon Diaz
because the instrumentals sound formulaic
Cooper Campbell
>implying the same can't be said for 95% of mainstream rock, pop and hip-hop
