> "I HATE COUNTRY"
Why are amerishart normies like this. Having Creedence and lynyrd skynyrd as your overplayed music beats what people listen to in the entire rest of the world.

Only one arrow, therefore you look like this and say most of it

>>126842815 (OP)
ccr and skynyrd are not country lil bro

You know if you fucking losers spent as much time on literally ANYTHING else in your life as much as you spend obsessing about trannies you'd all probably be confident and successful men in your day to day

What a retarded fucking thread.

>>126842815 (OP)
genuine answer:
classism

country is seen as poor backwards music only stupid alcoholic rednecks and uneducated blue collar workers who beat their wife and kids listen to

>>126842971
i mean, that's all not wrong though. and it's probably only gotten more correct in the past decade with the culture wars

>>126842971
That snob attitude goes back further than you think, it was already very prevalent in the 50s when country was seen as stupid hick music and not for classy sophisticates who listened to jazz and torch songs.

>>126842971
Except it's the inverse. I am classist because poorfags won't open their minds to anything the fuck else besides wigger baby rap and truck commercials with acoustic guitars.
You're a "hipster" to white trash and wiggers even if you prefer the country that actually does have substance and style to it over Smellyroll and Gayson Smallpeen. If you're gonna pollute the public with garbage then fuck yeah let the neoliberals enslave these losers.

>>126843117
i think you need to take your meds

>>126843130
I think you need to actually refute the posts you reply to.

>>126843117
why is /mu/ still in 2005 and they think Toby Keith is in the top 10?

>>126843117
you are not wrong on the first sentence
>you're a "hipster" to white trash and wiggers if you listen to country
where the fuck do you live where this is the case? I can assure you that for the vast majority of America this isn't true

Except they're not wrong. Johnny Cash, George Strait, Dolly Parton, Reba, Waylon Jennings? THAT is country

Sam Hunt, Trace Adkins, Blake Shelton, Jelly Roll, and Randy Hauser? Makes me hope to be buried alive

>>126842815 (OP)
Europeans need to shut the fuck up and just make country music because we need their genius minds to bring us out of this bro country era. If they made country I bet it would be good, not even meme country anti-USA parody but actual themes based upon their culture or rural areas.

>>126843184
because unc there is some milliennial trying to cope through his aging/balding

>>126843195
>I can assure you that for the vast majority of America this isn't true
That's because you misquoted me.
Most people who like chartslop tend to ignore the actually listenable stuff.

>>126843217
There have already been non-American country stars. Not from Europe but Keith Urban is an aussie and he was both one of the most famous to ever do it, and one of the worst.

Why would I listen to country when there is American primitive guitar music?

>>126842815 (OP)
CCR and Lynyrd Skynyrd from my knowledge didn't do any country albums.

>>126842971
>>126843053
I am glad I am not American and can enjoy country without these biases creeping up on me.

I hate country because it's amerimutt garbage fucking music.

The rest of the world doesn't care about your shitty ass regional music.

>>126843248
the "rap but with F250s" kind of country was a War on Terror era fad. that anon shows how aging and stuck in his high school years he is lol.

>>126843217
You're listening to the Beatles too often man. And you also don't know anything about country apparently. There has for nearly a century been the country music establishment. I don't know where people forgot this, but country music has been big fucking money - polished and shiny and (in effect) boardroom led - for decades and decades, long before so-called fifth and sixth generation acts, long before modern Nashville. At the very same time, for decades and decades, there have been parallel developments in country. So called country rock was relatively popular, and quite good, in the 2000s and (less so) 2010s, and had nearly nothing whatever to do with the big shiny machine of country. It's happened many times before and it'll happen again, and big shiny country will only get stronger - as usual. And people who don't like that it will cry end of days - as usual.

>>126843465
In the 50s you had Eddy Arnold, he made very slick pop country that sounded like mainstream 50s pop in contrast to the much more "pure" stuff that people like Kitty Wells were doing. So it's always kind of existed to an extent.

>>126843428
Morgan Wallens new album is the biggest country release of the year and he literally names trucks by make/model and features rappers on it.

>>126843428
Wonder if he thinks Avril Lavigne is still relevant as well.

>>126842815 (OP)
When people say "i hate country" they really just mean "i hate modern pop country on the radio" most of the time.

>>126843484
when 50s country is brought up fact Arnold is rarely mentioned he's pretty forgotten. They're much more likely to bring up Wells, Hank, early Cash and Jones and many others. His best song was covered by dozens of other people and done better than his original version. i liken him to being the 50s equivalent of guys like Garth Brooks who sold a bazillion albums but nobody actually listens to them or considers themselves a fan and i bet that Patsy Cline wouldn't be eulogized so much either if it weren't for dying early. in the same vein i think Morgan Wallen will end up in the same category of corporate buttcountry singers that nobody actually listens to despite their chart numbers and get forgotten in 40 years.

>>126842971
Country is seen as the music for rich white fraternities and sororities on college campuses so poorer liberal kids hate it for class reasons but the opposite direction

>>126842873
this wtf

>>126843760
I thought frat boys listened to Nickelback and rap music.

>>126843714
I know what function Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Florida-Georgia Line, or Morgan Wallen serves. It's background music to play at the local Jiffy Lube and there's no actual fans of those people nor does anyone care about their hits three months after they're in the Top 10 and as you said every decade has had that kind of corporate country product being shit out.

>>126843797
>I thought frat boys listened to Nickelback and rap music.
wait what year is this, 2004?

>>126843760
Rich white dudes listen to rap

>>126843714
>and i bet that Patsy Cline wouldn't be eulogized so much either if it weren't for dying early
explain

>>126843840
>Rich white dudes listen to rap

nah they listen to ersatz rap like Kendrick that is explicitly engineered for upper middle class Democrat voting whites and which no actual black person goes near with a 10 foot pole

>>126843874
Just what I said. Cline had very slick pop country records with all the usual 50s-early 60s gimmicks like vocal reverb and oh wah doo bah backing vocals. if she didn't have the luck to die young she'd probably be as derided by country puritans as Eddy Arnold.

>>126843814
Listen man, I can go as deep on country as almost anyone. I love it, I've loved it for decades, it taught me to play guitar - I owe it a lot and I love many versions of it. I think (most of) the names mentioned have all produced great stuff. I don't think there's a bad Jack's Tracks era Garth Brooks album, for instance. I am not fully on board with many of the most well known names of the newest crop of guys, only because they haven't actually developed the genre in any way so far as I can tell (and they aren't even doing anything interesting in the "revival" sphere, unlike for example occurred with so-called neotraditional country, with Keith Whitley being an obvious example). Point being, Brooks and McGraw and the like are more than background music.

>>126843896
what do actual black persons listen to?

>>126843939
the men: drill and drake
the women: slut rap and drake

>>126842815 (OP)
Impressed no one's mentioned the embarassing vocal style of country singers. Nasal ridiculousness that is cartoonishly smeared over stock-tier rock music. Not to mention half these cowboy wannabes speak like regular Americans in interviews, and pretend to have a shitty voice for what is arguably the shittiest tradition on the planet

>>126843896
That started with Kanye actually, when "bougie" rap for middle class whites became a thing and it metastisized in the 2010s.

>>126843933
I can't comment on McGraw aside from saying that "Please Remember Me" is one of the worst country hits ever recorded but Brooks always smacked of a plant because when he broke in the early 90s they made a huge deal out of the fact that he was a Liberal and not some redneck hick reactionary who would perform at the RNC or something.

>>126843349
Post country, obsessed Euroshit protip: you won't

One of Eddy's biggest hits. Sounds very Perry Como-like, don't it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_90xvFzzZM

A Kitty Wells from the same year that sounds much more traditional and not as engineered for suburban housewives who don't actually like country.

>>126844043
Perhaps so, but of course when we're speaking about this "level" of country, we are equally talking about the guys who recorded this music. It is very difficult to fault, just for example, Jerry Douglas, or Bruce Bouton, let alone Bobby Emmons, and the list goes on. Not to turn into one of these Rick Beato or Tim Pierce dickheads, these are really pro, really slick affairs, and they sound like it. There's a lot to like in terms of musicianship and sound on these records. (And while Please Remember Me is definitely saccharine, I think Rodney Crowell helped to write it, who isn't perfect but isn't a complete piece of shit anyway.)

>>126844043
Lonestar's "Amazed" was also up there. Both songs back in 99-03 existed only to torment you every time you went to the gas station.

Morgan Wallen is only selling records because his redneck fanbase made him a God after calling his neighbor the n word....just like Swifties

>>126844289
>>126844043
"19 Somethin'" was another awful 00s country hit I don't need to ever hear again.

>>126844333
Triple Double confirms it
