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

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

New "country" music is hip hop for white people that are afraid of black people.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

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

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.

Modern country music is just emo music while wearing wranglers instead of skinny jeans

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

You are 100% correct and I'm fine with it.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

It still is if you listen to alt country.

I've always said country music is blues for white people

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ugh, no. The blues are awesome. Blues music does not celebrate ignorance, nor is it whiny.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I mean old country sure I suppose. New country at least of what I have heard no.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

Yeah. It should say “emo music is just country music in the city”

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Or better yet, "emo is just country music for the suburbs"

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Or "emo is city country" for maximal confusion out of context.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

There's a documentary about this called Trolls 2.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

everything is emo if you read the lyrics

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

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!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not Shapoopi

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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 $$$$

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Isn't bluegrass a subgenre from country?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Related genres but I wouldn't say it's a subgenre. They both evolved from "string music" but took it in very different directions.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Old time country. Country itself is just pop on acoustic guitar and funny accents. Sometimes banjos.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Emo music isn't racist, also

See: Jason Aldean

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Pop is just emo for basic removed.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hyperpop is just emo for uhh... emos that love techno?
