You know how everyone just has to act like they hate country? I like all music, except country!! Meanwhile country is about a trillion times better than today's mainstream music, but I digress.

So last night at the Superbowl party we got on the topic somehow, and I said that Jimmy Buffet is country and my friend got all mad at me, and started saying shit like oh yeah you know everything right!!! Always know everything!

He's just mad because he likes Buffet but has to keep up this persona of hating country music.

I thought this topic would be about degrading country music by associating it with Jimmy Buffet, not the other way around.

I'm a delight to be around. I can't remember how we got on the topic though.

Jimmy Buffet isn't best-known for his country songs and isn't primarily a country musician. He's written more country songs than some country musicians, but that's more a byproduct of how insanely prolific he is.

I guess Jimmy Buffet has some country songs, but I wouldn't classify him as a Country Music musician, though.

He's synonymous with beach tunes.


This. Although I cant really think of anyone else that fits the beach tunes category.

This is how it's listed on Wikipedia and it sounds like a good description.

Buffett is known his unique style of music called "Gulf and Western", which combines elements of country, folk rock, pop, and Caribbean, with tropical lyrical themes.


The base of the music is country, but then he adds in steel drums and whatnot to make it more islandy.

His music also makes me irrationally angry. The first time I heard "Cheeseburger in Paradise" when I was a little bitty kid, it might have been the first time I physically cringed.

I think the "nibblin' on spongecake" line from Margaritaville might actually be the worst song lyric ever conceived. I'm not even sure why I hate it - perhaps it's just that there's nothing inherently tropical about spongecake & having that be the first line used to set the scene is insanely idiotic - but it makes me so mad.

Guys... come on. He's the most chill, non-serious, laid back songwriter in the biz. If Jimmy Buffet lyrics make you angry... you got some personal issues to work on.

most of his songs are not country songs

He is country-adjacent but not actual country.

Hah! I usually don't go for the really flowery ones

Their cotton is really soft. But we usually shop at the outlets because a shirt costs $50 instead of $120 or something. Usually its last season's styles...but idc about that jazz. I just like comfortable clothes ya know
