| Topic | Why do some people hate country music? |
| pinky0926 12/30/18 11:05:20 AM #32: | In my experience people who universally hate a genre are making something of a no true scotsman argument, because you could feasibly show them an item from that genre they could like, but at that point they would just think "but this isn't the kind of country I mean". Usually it's a remark on a fairly superficial view of a genre based on stereotypes and common cliches that are abundant on the top level. And that's understandable because if that's all you're exposed to you're not going to go digging through shit to go deeper and find the gold. Stereotypical reasons to hate country would be: all sounds the same (notice this is the same thing people say about any genre they dislike), don't like the strong country accents, pickup trucks, bourbon, baby girls, dogs, don't like the corny outfits, don't like the electric slide guitar, don't relate to the subject matter, etc. Like you TC, I bet with some time I could probably show you something classical you wouldn't hate. Maybe you need a gateway artist. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard! |
