people moving to tumblr from twitter please fucking reblog art likes literally dont do anything except make the artist upset bc they have 2 reblogs and 55 likes

[snaxle-archive-deactivated20251]

yes this includes fanfiction, gif sets, edits, etc.

[snaxle-archive-deactivated20251]

theres this one person who reblogs this post like 20 times a day and then sometimes will also reblog it like 200 times at once and also anytime it appears on their dash they apparently will queue it again too and i just want you all to know that you pissed them off real bad and that should be your sign to reblog art actually. for them

[meme-loving-stuck]

heyyyyy followers and mutuals who think this only applies to people from twitter:

it doesn’t.

[impling]

This is why I almost never post my work here at all. It’s not worth the effort of photographing it. Bookbinding is time consuming, photographing things takes more effort than most people want to think about, and for 5 likes and no reblogs? That’s a straight shot to “no one here wants to see what I do, I’m not going to bother showing it.”

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.

[daywatch]

I know this is a funny post but

There are a few major points in Country Music’s history that got the entire genre labeled as ‘annoying’

Post 9/11 nationalism

A term that I couldn’t make up “Bro-Country” which intensifies themes of booze, objectifying women, and partying that were present in past decades but not to such an extent

This is Gospel Music But With an Accent

Now looking at the songs op listed there is

A woman pleading to another woman

A woman wrecking a shitheads life

A guy loving the scenery of where he lived

A song that could easily be mistaken for a number of other genres

But it is easier to say that one hates country while privately enjoying select songs than explain why one doesn’t like the current market oversaturated with our nation’s problems of nationalism, sexism, and so on

[brunhiddensmusings]

see also jhonny cash/willie nelson era songs which were deeply emotional stories often about painful and deep subjects. prison, loss of loved ones, hard labor, facing despair, passion. ‘ghost riders in the sky’ and the like are also deeply satisfying as they bridge more into folklore then ‘murica fuck yeah im sponsored by bud light yall’ another example- ‘midnight in montgomery’ where hank williams junior sings about the ghost of his father

“ … And felt the wind die down, And a drunk man in a cowboy hat, Took me by surprise, Wearin’ shiny boots, a nudie suit, and haunted, haunted eyes, He said: “Friend, it’s good to see you, It’s nice to know you care” Then the wind picked up and he was gone, Was he ever really there? ‘Cause when the wind is right, You’ll hear his song, Smell whisky in the air, Midnight in Montgomery, He’s always singin’ there, “ the reason we ‘hate country’ is because we know its supposed to have FEELING and its infuriatingly absent now

70s country - bluegrass traditional

80s country - power ballads

90s country - pop crossover

00s country - white supremacy

[the-poor-decision]

[anais-ninja-bitch]

it’s about the folkloric story-telling tradition of oppressed poor folks vs marketable capitalistic ass-kissing.

[dovewithscales]

Yes. So much yes. See Dolly Parton and Wille Nelson and Johnny Cash sing about something real and they mean it and they are amazing. Modern country with some rare exceptions doesn’t start with something meaningful to say, it analyzes the market trends to figures out what will sell and then they do that. That or it just plain caters to white nationalists.

But there’s some damn good country out there. It’s just crowded out by utter garbage written and performed by sell-outs.

[dovewithscales]

Can confirm.

[dzamie]

“Curses” by The Crane Wives is a great song, and I legitimately have trouble singing along to it because I choke up at a couple lines.

…though I do tend to listen to it at 125% speed.

[dovewithscales]

Oh I love that song!

[shadows-haunt-angels]

Colter Wall and Corb Lund also understand the assignment! Dig Gravedigger Dig; Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier; The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie; Sleeping on the Blacktop: all bangers. Even Poor Man’s Poison, who got really popular for a minute via memes, consistently puts out good songs because they mean something!

[dovewithscales]

I have new music added to playlists now

[rustbeltjessie]

I would like to add a recommendation for my close personal friend and amazing musician, the First Lady of Queer Country, Cindy Emch aka the Secret Emchy Society.

[flagellant]

If y'all want proper cowboy country there’s also Don Edwards. I have completely normal and regular feelings about his song Coyotes.

The devil went down to Georgia is country
