Music Banter - View Single Post - The difference between rock and country music.

Country has a capital namely Nashville and is often viewed as originating in the south. Adversely, Rock has no true defined capital and isn't really associated with any specific region in America.

Fiddles and Steel Guitars are used in Country more than any other genre.

There are fewer subgenres in country music and therefore, country is often seen as less diverse than rock which has many subgenres.

The dances associated with each genre are different. In country, you may find square dancing or the two step whereas, rock can be associated with head banging or the twist.

The cultures associated with each genre are also different. If you like country, people might think you live on a farm, drive a truck, go hunting, and wear cowboy boots. On the other hand, if you enjoy rock music, people might think you live in the suburbs, drive a camaro, go to shows, and wear concert t-shirts.

Country musicians are often supportive of America's war efforts (with the exception of the Dixie Chicks). Rock musicians often speak out against war.

Mullets may be associated with both genres.
