country /music is so wrongly disrespected. There’s a lot of depth in “country”. There’s no rock without it.

Yeah it became cool to hate country, for some reason. No better or worse than any other genre, imo. There's both good and bad! I agree that it was the gateway to American Rock. Britain was probably on their path to it anyway, I think. But it definitely birthed it in America. Elvis and Johnny Cash were both country and gospel roots, for example. I also see huge parallels between hip hop and country, but that's another tangent!

It’s not a tangent. It’s all very connected.

Look at all the fast talking & rhyming in certain veins of country. It's very rhythm centric. People make fun of country just being about trucks and guns and dogs. Hip hop is all gangs and guns and ho's 😂 Lol it just feels like two sides of the same cultural coin. Which one you're into just depends on if you're born in the country or the city!

I love songs about Mama, trains, trucks, prison, and gettin’ drunk. But country kinda lost the plot when everything became this country rap pop amalgamation

Could even go to reggae/afrobeat/celtic/bluegrass. Music can be about sending messages about a cultural situation that is different than “the news”. That’s what’s music is.
