Any time someone recommends me a country song
🎶 Yeah my lady left me for my Chevy and only left me the house and barn; and every day that passes, the alligator out back is lookin’ more and more fiiiine 🎶
Or it’s thinly veiled racism. Or Christian nationalism masquerading as patriotism. Or about how they are drunk again. Or how they want to beat up libs, their 4th wife, their neighbor, etc.
I fucking hate country music. Garbage ass genre made by garbage ass people to appeal to the worst people in the country and give them a pat on the back.
There are some tangential genres that are still decent. Bluegrass still has some proper good people in it for example.

Ok, but that’s bad country. Good country is still alive and kicking
Good links. I also recommend The Dead South.
“And if there ever come a time I got rabies, You’re high on my bitin’ list”
Great line. Deserves to be in this thread. https://lemmy.zip/post/71303053
I’ve gotta add my own recommendation here: Nick Shoulders (yes, that is his birth name)
When it’s that Appalachian style I think it’s considered more bluegrass than country. Country is a pretty gross genre anymore.
Appalachian may be one of the only styles of country that isn’t gross yet.
