Why does /mu/ hate Country?

agreed oh pee
dissent will be met with a cattle prod

theres pretty frequent threads on Gunfighter Ballads

But I don't hate country..

Little big town - better man
Josh Turner - hometown girl
Luke Bryan - fast

There is really good stuff in country now a days.

Most of /mu/ is young liberal millenial hipsters who hate the South and any concept of unironic or sincere joy, pride and traditional masculinity. There's your answer. The closest thing I've listened to to country is Nashville Skyline by Dylan, but I really liked it

>>71077355
That's a lot of wrong.
I enjoy country now that I'm in my late 20s, but being forcefed fucking Boot Scootin' Booby square dance hat act bullshit from 1995 until 2008 kind of puts you off. I imagine it's the same for a lot of people, judging by how many 'everything but rap and country' people seem to like A Sailor's Guide to zesty.

Unfortunately true.

Now we're seeing a similar backlash against Rock on here and in music journalism in general.

DAC's "racist" songs were all tongue-in-cheek. The drummer in his band at the time was a black guy.

I see country threads here often.

>>71078313
Can't think of where off the top of my head. I would assume it came from Jimmie Rodgers or The Carter Family. Possibly even earlier.

>>71076702

Country maintains itself as one of the most technically challenging to play (some ecountry riffs are just out of this world) but lyrically its fucking dead. There eis no imagination or new entries into the realm of country. Country has been the same more or less since the 1960's in terms of lyrical content and has never evolved.

>no Gene Clark

Much like pretty much any genre, if you just listen to what’s on Top 40 radio you’re gonna come away with a pretty shitty view of the country genre as a whole.

>>71078880
I mean I'm probably a "lefty pozzcuckolds sjw FEMINAZI HIPSTER AL QUIDA HUMPER!11!!" and I listen to Neofolk so kinda don't buy that one. Normies do tend to use music to virtue signal though since they lack taste for the arts.

I hardly ever agree with /mu/, so take this how you will, but I feel like Country died in the late 80s and early 90s, when it switched from bluesy Americana outlaw ballads and became

OHH SHE LEFT ME AND TOOK MY PICKUP TRUCK
I DRINK BUDWIESER AND I'M SO MESSED UP
I MISS HERRRRR
OHHHHH-WOAH, REDNECK YA'LL

I fucking hate this new Duck Dynasty style hillbilly-pop shit, but old school country, aka real, authentic country music - that was great music. I'm no DAE WRONG GENERATION??? faggot, as I enjoy tons of modern music, but Country music just up and died once Billy Ray Cyrus, Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw took over.

>>71081158

I dont hate any music, country music is like every other genre and has its gems and its shit.
I think lots of people hate country because it represents lowerclass white people, like people hate rap because its (well use to) represents lowerclass black people.

Another thing going against country is that it doesnt have a lot of international appeal

Country and rap represent lowerclass people of two races.
Upper middle class white people listen to shit like radiohead.
Country music had an era called outlaw country, rap had an era called gangsta rap.

Rock music is pretentious twaddled for college educated people now.

Country music is about how shit life is in the middle of nowhere or your dog done died.


Rap was about trying to get out of the ghetto


I feel like johnny cash was the ultimate lower class white american musician.
Somehow rebellious, yet patriotic.
Somehow pulled off that contradiction

I find it ironic how, in it's most basic form of content, country and hip hop are not much different, yet southerners disregard hip hop with their racist rhetoric.

I'm from bum fuck no where central Texas and George Strait is a legend. My parents saw him in the early 80s while he was still doing the small town scene and hardly a name.

Anyone that thinks garth brooks or anyone else from the 80s/90s that did this style of music is better..you're wrong.

>tfw you get Charlie Prides autograph at a Rangers game in arlington

I didn't know who that nig was, but my pops said it would be worth getting. I got his autograph on two seperate balls. I think charlie pride tried to make the majors but failed. forget the story on that. rangers had him dressed up like he was a coach or something.

good feels. RIP dad. will have been 6 years the 19th of this month. 2 more days.
