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.
As Steve Earle said, it's hip-hop for guys that are afraid of black people
Yeah now it's rural 1990s mainstream gangsta brag rap
A dirt road
A cold beer
A big truck
A girl I want to take to church
Good girl
In a straw hat
With her arms out in a corn field
... That is a scarecrow
Thought that was a human woman, sorry
Darkness falls.
Lightning strikes.
Scarecrow becomes animated.
Chases you down and devours your bones.
This is a good song
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.
Anyone over a 6 left Yolksmobile County years ago.
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
There’s 10s. You’d be surprised.
New "country" music is hip hop for white people that are afraid of black people.
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!”
Your comment smells like Mich Lites
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
Hick-hop
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.
I had to shoot my wife because she was sleeping with my truck.
Farmo?
You are 100% correct and I'm fine with it.
Modern country music is just emo music while wearing wranglers instead of skinny jeans
It used to be farm punk.
We got folk punk still
I've always said country music is blues for white people
Ugh, no. The blues are awesome. Blues music does not celebrate ignorance, nor is it whiny.
There's a documentary about this called Trolls 2.
I mean old country sure I suppose. New country at least of what I have heard no.
everything is emo if you read the lyrics
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!
Not Shapoopi
Country pre-dates emo...
Yeah. It should say “emo music is just country music in the city”
Or better yet, "emo is just country music for the suburbs"
Or "emo is city country" for maximal confusion out of context.
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 $$$$
Isn't bluegrass a subgenre from country?
Related genres but I wouldn't say it's a subgenre. They both evolved from "string music" but took it in very different directions.
Old time country. Country itself is just pop on acoustic guitar and funny accents. Sometimes banjos.
Emo music isn't racist, also
