almost every white person i know gets down with country to a certain extent. it's like they feel it's their heritage and therefore their duty to get down to billy ray cyrus or whoever it is that's "with it" in country.
then again i live in wisconsin, and grew up in a city surrounded by farms. people around that area love to embrace their southern heritage i guess? by driving around in their f150's with confederate flag stickers on their rear windshield. though they live in wisconsin, one of the states furthest north in the US. i dunno.
white people are stupid, is what i'm trying to say. :p |
That's funny. The amount of times I ask people what kind of music they like and get: "everything but country and western" is astounding. |

I have read Klosterman's book and am sorry to say that I still think country sucks balls.
However, I do dislike lots of other music besides country. ;) |

To expand that quote:
| quote: | The most wretched people in the world are those who tell you they like every kind of music "except country." People who say that are boorish and pretentious at the same time. All it means is that they've managed to figure out the most rudimentary rule of pop sociology; they know that hipsters gauge the coolness of others by their espoused taste in sound, and they know that hipsters hate modern country music. And they hate it because it speaks to normal people in a tangible, rational manner. Hipsters hate it because they hate Midwesterners, and they hate Southerners, and they hate people with real jobs.
Now, obviously, this hipster distaste doesn't apply to old country music, because everybody who's cool loves that stuff (or at least claims to). It's completely acceptable for coolies [LOL, big whoopsie on that attempted neologism there, Chuck -- JBJ] to adore the idea of haggard nineteen-year-old men riding in cabooses and having their hearts shattered, which is why alternative country is the most popular musical genre of the last twenty-five years that's managed to remain completely unpopular (if you follow my meaning). |
