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.

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

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

Technically true.

He got the job.

He takes his job seriously.

Insanely funny that Elon Musk became this cult figure for hyping up Bitcoin, quietly sold off most of his holdings, and then started talking shit about it, only to then start doing the same with Dogecoin. He’s literally just collecting money from his fanbase by manipulating the market for an unregulated commodity, which is possible because the commodity in question is so disconnected from any real economic value that celebrity gossip can move its price. There are guys online a few months ago who kissed the ground Musk walked on that are now literally sending him death threats

So fun thing I got to do today..

I got to explain to my dad and a police officer (who is also my neighbor) that the reason I was on the side of the road with a flat is because I saw a blue heron and a turtle on a log together and drove off the road SLIGHTLY which popped my tire.

I think most people were too embarrassed to ever say anything but the most powerful people in the world were the teens who would tell the teacher frankly and in front of everyone that they were menstruating when they were told they couldn’t leave for a bathroom break

#and then got sent to the principal #religious private schools are ridiculous
