    It used to be, now it’s just bragging about how big your truck is, or how much beer you drink, or how good your wife’s ass looks in jeans.

      Haha, I remember when they all dyed their hair blond and put on a wife beater and named their teen mom babies Haley.

      Now they all have big belt buckles and cowboy hats and say, “Uuupchyerrrrrch!” “Ayuhpcherch??” “Urrrrpchuuuurch!” “Heyuhl yeah! Upchurch!”

      I was going through some old casette tapes my parents had. One country group from the 80s-90s had a song that basically said they’d be the last contry band left when the rest turn into pop. I have to track it down again!

      New country pop country sucks but I can listen to some Tyler Childers, First Aid Kit or Johnny Cash any day. Like most music the good stuff is out there if you look past the overplayed corporate radio surface

    Modern country music is just dude’s from L.A. dunkin’ on country folk, parodying their dirt road/cold beer way of life, and these fucking inbreds eat it up like it’s the anthem of their soul.

    Worse yet, the ones who aren’t just writing what hicks want to hear are trying to speak real sexy over a snap track. Whenever I hear “Country girls, shake it for me, girl…”, I can’t not think of obese 50-year-old bar flies chain smoking and dancing in denim. You’re not getting 10s shaking their bodies to that shit.

      Honestly being a southerner is infuriating because the media has decided minstrel shows are fine if they’re about Southerners…

      Can I enjoy my grits on my sawdust covered floor in peace without Larry The Cable Guy making everything I stand for seem intellectually impaired?

      When it’s a country song singing about some girl I think of some inbred conservative talking to an obese diet coke drinking land whale

    You have insulted emo and I wont stand for it…

    If you’d like to apologize I’ll be brooding over in the corner writing a song about this.

          There’s good country and good emo. Dori Freeman is an excellent country artist, Japandroids are excellent emo (though they step outside of the generic emo box, though that’s also kind of my point). It’s just that anything that would be played at a mall is hot garbage. Which brings me to my stance: mall pop sucks, all of it. Mall country, mall emo, mall funk, you name a genre, it can be commercialized and played in a mall, ruining it

          That implies they have some use. At least shit can be used for fertiliser. Emo and country are more toxic radioactive waste.

      THIS IS MY COMEBACK SONG! IT’S ONLY MEANT TO FUCKING PROVE YOU WRONG! I AM SO FAR FROM BEING FAMOUS! I KNOW YOU’RE NOT THE SAME AS ME AND THAT’S THE WAY I WANT IT TO BE!

    Yo, I have to strongly disagree. As a backyard farmer and someone who loves emo music, country music does NOT represent me lol. I grew up on large farms, so I know what the true for realsy farmer life is also like. I just do backyard stuff because $$$$
