I think to appreciate country music, you would have to have been born in the USA. After all, it is the "country's" music. I was born in Switzerland, so yoddeling is closer to my blood even so I don't listen to any. I have lived in the USA for 47 years and I still completely dislike country, old and new, nothing in it resonates to me.
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
I seriously can’t think of anything worse. I grew up listening to country music in the late 80s and early 90s, and a lot of that was pretty bad. But this new stuff, yikes.
Who sees some pretty boy on a stage with a badly exaggerated generic southern accent and a 600 dollar denim jacket shoehorning the words “ice cold beer” into every third line of a song and says “Ooh I like this, this music is for me!”
I would literally rather listen to anything else.Seriously, there’s nothing I can think of, at least not in my lifetime or the hundred or so years of recorded music I own, that seems worse.
