Okay. I hate any music that references all of the following pandering terms: trucks, boots, whiskey, blue jeans, dirt, drinkin', beer, and. "back roads".

If you removed the lyrics from almost every modern US "Country" song, they wouldn't be so bad, by holy shit...it's like you can't have a country song without whiskey and blue jeans sung in an overdone Kentucky or Mid-Western accent. It's essentially fan service for country boys and girls. Half of those singers haven't touched so much as a rake in their entire lives and for some reason people make this genre their entire fucking identity.

Stadium country is garbage. Dark country and folk music actually does interesting things with those terms.

Folk makes you feel things. Mostly rage at the capital holding class, but that’s a thing you can feel

Folk makes you feel things. Mostly rage at the capital holding class, but that’s a thing you ~~can~~ should feel.

I think that's the only thing I can feel anymore.

Build community. Rage against the rich is valuable, Lucy Parsons wasn’t wrong about them, but revolution without love of your comrades never goes well. It’s important to have things to be angry for instead of just about.

my favourite country songs remain those featured in fallout: new vegas, they're so brilliantly atmospheric.

I generally don't cry but i can just put on "in the shadow of the valley" to cry on demand, i'm swedish as fuck and yet that song instantly makes me nostalgic for some southern ranch i've never seen
