Country is a music genre and aesthetic that is based on the culture of rural farming populations in the southern United States and the Midwest. Farmers and ranchers within the community value tradition and conservative ideals, community, and hard work in their field. The aesthetic places great emphasis on practicality, with a range of activities and items originating from their work and landscape. The style is popular with many people throughout the United States, even if they are not farmers or ranchers, and has been used as a visual trope for weddings, settings for TV shows, and political propaganda. Visually, the aesthetic shares many traits with Western, but there is no emphasis on the 19th century, adventure or lawlessness, and instead focuses on the idea of home and being settled within the farmer lifestyle. And unlike Cottagecore, which romanticizes the countryside and uses feminine aesthetics, Country is a lived reality, even if some visual tropes are used to the point of excess.
Common visual elements include alcoholic drinks - usually beer, whiskey, gin and not "classier" drinks like wine and champagne, burlap, denim, and gingham fabrics, connecting with farm animals, fields of wheat and corn, guitars, guns, hay - hay bales and haystacks, Karen-like imagery such as "Live, Laugh, Love" decorations, mason jars, pick-up trucks, red barns, tire swings, wood decorations (especially themed around the American flag or their home state), sunflowers, horseshoes, chickens, and food.
