What is the problem with country music?

Why is it that so many people discriminate against country music? I mean everyone seems to think that because we talk slow that we are mentally impaired. Why is this?

Answered I think its because...

Country used to be great, no arguments there. Unfortunately, country music has gone down the toilet because A.) its growing # of singers in comparison to its fans and B.) because it uses the same theme over and over. This is the reason that people don't like rap music too. Singing about the same theme, whether it be a song about heartbreak or a song about living in an old west style environment, people will stop listening to new music. Older songs they'll keep listening too, but tune themselves out to the new music.

    I personally love country music. But real country music: folk, roots, bluegrass, etc, etc. Give me some Townes Van Zandt or some Johnny Cash.

    The reason most pople hate country is because they think it's all like Nashville country-pop crap (ie: Shania Twain, etc). That's not even real country music, it's essentially pop with a country twinge. People need to avoid mainstream country if they want anything worth listening to (though I will say I quite like the Dixie Chicks, haha).

    Every song sounds the same, and the twang isn't appealing.


    Plus, if it were good, they would have country artists in different countries.
  • raves     [-] Kelly G replied to cassienicole
    They sound the same? How long did you listen to country music?
  • raves     [-] cassienicole replied to Kelly G
    Everytime I'm in my best friends car going somewhere with her mom. Which is usually two times every other weekend hour there and hour back. 101.9 the wolf.
  • raves     [-] runningintriangles replied to cassienicole

    Its not horrible but i just don't like it, either the music is sad, or its just boring. The only exception is The dixie chicks and taylor swift. I prefer hip pop, hip hop, or prettt much any type of music.
  • raves +2   [-] Kelly G replied to sd (97 more days)
    Yeah the Dixie Chicks Goodbye Earl is one of my favorites. But yes some country is whiny, but not all.
  • raves     [-] sd (97 more days) replied to Kelly G
    yeah, its not bad, but most of it is just not for me.

    I like Some Country Music especially Southern Rock!!! and a few selected others more the ones that can crossover Now this is just in fun, I am told that if you play country music in reverse, you will get your truck, Your Dog & Your Woman or Man back
  • raves     [-] Kelly G replied to Ellen Zee
    Thats what I'm talkin bout. And Southern Rock is good unless you really get out there and people start mixing it with jazz or rap. But that is more of the new stuff.

    Some country is not bad....it's just not my thing.
  • raves +1   [-] Kelly G replied to KittyWuv ~Venomous Kiss~
    Thank you sooo much. It seems that if you don't listen to it it is officially the "rednecks music".
  • raves     [-] KittyWuv ~Venomous Kiss~ replied to Kelly G
    Haha....much like HIM is the "devil's music." My husband likes country, but he also likes rock. I wonder what that makes him?
  • raves +1   [-] Kelly G replied to KittyWuv ~Venomous Kiss~
    Hopefully not one of those people who listen to the "Country Rock King"? Lol.

    Very different. At least he isn't single-minded.
