Maybe folk would be more accurate, but it'd also be less funny

After 9/11, Country turned from "we are working people" to "My Dad's an oil tycoon and I love the US".
-
that was around the same time local radio collapsed and I heart radio and other conglomerates took over. not long after media ownership rules changed. I don't think it was the artists who changed.

Johnny Cash not being on the right side of this meme should be criminal.
Well, you wonder why
\ I always dress in black
\ Why you never see
\ Bright colors on my back
\ And why does my appearance
\ Seem to have a somber tone?
\ Well, there's a reason for the things
\ That I have on
\
\ I wear the black
\ For the poor and the beaten down
\ Livin' in the hopeless
\ Hungry side of town
\ I wear it for the prisoner
\ Who has long paid for his crime
\ But is there because
\ He's a victim of the times

There are two types of country artists. One will help you hide a body and run from the cops. The other will call you a slur.

The girl's musicians are folk, not country. That's kind of the main purpose of the distinction.

Thank you, thanks especially for saving me two paragraphs of rant.

Country music is the lowest form of "art" on the planet. Braindead flag-waving bullshit.
-
Bullshit. There's a bunch of different subgenres of country. Stadium country is the kind that most people are referencing when they say they hate country music. I'm quite fond of old country.
-
There's good country music. Most of Stevie nicks for example.
Also there's blue grass which is what most people think country should be before they listen to the modern mainstream crap.

I will never, ever, apologize for liking Billy Strings, Michael Cleveland, or Doc Watson.

Townes van Zandt is one of the best musicians who ever lived
-
someone never listened to country before

I hooked up with someone who had her radio set to country music and heard these lyrics three our four times within a few days (the theme was if the singer had a million dollars):
I would buy a boat. I would buy a truck to pull it.
If that isn't braindead, I don't know what is.

That's like saying I'm an atheist because I haven't read the bible. 🙄

No, he is right. Listening to it proves it.
