I am not a HUGE fan, but living in Texas my whole life.. I know a little bit.

As far as you talk about them eat cornbread and chicken and looking for tics and sexy tractors its all lifestyle. I mean are you questioning the music behind it (melody, rhythm, patterns etc.) or the lyrics. No matter what kind of music you listen to people are going to talk about things that are somewhat normal for them. So rappers talk about big booty bitches drugs money and gangs because it is how they grew up. Emo kids talk about crying and their feelings, and Punk rockers talk about being unaccepted. So sure country isnt for everyone... but it is music, and it has a HUGE amount of listeners.

Also there is so many types of country, just like other forms of music. You have your pop country (shania twain), rock country (lynyrd skynyrd), blues country (allman brothers band), western (merle haggard) etc.
