I'd like to request that the title of this thread is changed to "why DON'T you like country music?". Because THAT seems to be the question that people have difficulty answering or even elaborating on.

"LOZ COUNTRY MUSIK SUX JUST COS IT DUZ I DONT LIKE PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO IT THEY ARE DUMB LOZ"

Gimme a break. Most people who hate country merely do it out of blind prejudice and never even listen to it, or at least haven't explored it. There's plenty going on outside of that rubbish mainstream country pop crap. It's pretty vast, all things considered.

Here is my take. If you are talking COMMERCIAL Country music, it is one of my LEAST favorite forms of music. As a matter of fact, apart from Rap, it IS the worst. I don't blame the artists... I blame the Nashville music machine. IF the artists had any creativity to begin with, it was probably removed by the record executives. Most Country artists are not allowed to sing their own songs, and that would be dependent on them even being able to write a song to start with.

Most Country singers are just good looking people who can strum a few guitar chords, sing in the stereotypical voice, and fit a certain mold.

Now, if you are talking Alt. Country or Bluegrass, I'm on board. Bluegrass players are some of the finest musicians on the planet. Alt. Country is essentially a good Folk singer/songwriter, who has a Country twinge, usually taken from the early days of Country. That music has heart. It has passion. It is genuinely the artform of the ARTIST, and not someone pulling his/her strings.

Okay, that's enough from my soap box.

I have nothing against country music, except that my aunt in hillbilly Harrison, Michigan made me listen to it once, and I vomited in my new Lexus, or that all her kids who listen to that crap look like autistic bastards from the 1950, no I hate your mullets, your banjo’s and you possum stew, your sister/wife, I hate everything country but Shaiah Twains sweet ass.
I would rather be in a pick up truck listening to some Hank Williams rather than sitting in my "new" Lexus missing out on life thinking I am better than everyone. If Shania Twain is what you think of when you hear the word "country" clearly you have much to learn...

You can try to mock us, but it only makes us stronger.
Hell yea! My neck is as red as Ga. Clay too... They even say that Woodstock has the darkest color of red!

Country has it's good points and bad points just like any other genre. In my opinion what is currently popular in the world of country music is mostly garbage, but that doesn't mean the genre as a whole is bad. I mean Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson make it worthwhile all by themselves and they're just the tip of the iceberg.

Being from Wyoming I was born and raised to country music, and while it's nowhere near my favorite... Every now and then I get a craving for it.
