Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time

Music is terribly personal. I'm not into country music but I know there are genres I like less. So I don't listen to them

I had a friend, Bud Fried(Irving M Fried who was the name sake of IMF speakers and later Fried speakers. Bud only listened to classical music, of which opera was his greatest form, of which Wagner and the Ring operas were the highest musical form of all time. I loved folk music. He called it tinkle music. Think of all the great music, pop, blues, jazz, folk, world music he deprived himself of without even giving it a chance.

@baylinor - I know there are a lot of country music fans in the UK and Japan and elsewhere not-US. I don't think you need to be born somewhere to appreciate what the culture produces. I don't need to be Jamaican to get reggae. I'm American and have lived here my whole life and I have the same attitude towards country music that you have. It does nothing for me, but I'm glad that people who enjoy it have it to listen to! 

@baylinor My bad on the question mark, corrected - my apologies.

Got it, good points made. I still do believe that when it comes to majorities, something that resonates with someone's culture wil usually be easier to absorb. Obviously there are always exceptions. I think that anyone who loves country should keep enjoying it. I will not, no biggie.

I hear you about reggae. Love me some Uprising, but ran out of ganja long ago lol.
