not to be aggressively southern on main but ppl who think that singing with a twang and saying yeehaw to whatever beat they threw together automatically makes it a country song or even a country fusion………… this is simply not the case

#also making fun of country music is just not it man #like yes absolutely most mainstream stadium country artists are embarrassing bootlickers pandering to the least common denominator #but the genre as a whole has a very rich and diverse history and the way ppl throw it under the bus is the exact way they throw #all southern folks under the bus for the fact that they think we’re all backwards and bigoted #and I’m just. I know I’m not articulating this well but like #country music is an art form as much as any other genre and throwing on a cowboy hat and butchering an accent you’ve never heard irl #is just hollow and comes across so strongly as one big joke where the punchline is ‘some people sing like this unironically!!#and those idiots actually like it!!’#and I’m not even much of a country fan but it’s so clearly malicious towards southern and rural cultures that it’s just #come on. be better than this. be better than them.#personal
