Ok. The question mark was not necessary then. It's all good. Take care.
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
I seriously can’t think of anything worse. I grew up listening to country music in the late 80s and early 90s, and a lot of that was pretty bad. But this new stuff, yikes.
Who sees some pretty boy on a stage with a badly exaggerated generic southern accent and a 600 dollar denim jacket shoehorning the words “ice cold beer” into every third line of a song and says “Ooh I like this, this music is for me!”
I would literally rather listen to anything else.Seriously, there’s nothing I can think of, at least not in my lifetime or the hundred or so years of recorded music I own, that seems worse.

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. |
