    Country music is the lowest form of “art” on the planet. Braindead flag-waving bullshit.

      Bullshit. There’s a bunch of different subgenres of country. Stadium country is the kind that most people are referencing when they say they hate country music. I’m quite fond of old country.

      There’s good country music. Most of Stevie nicks for example.

      Also there’s blue grass which is what most people think country should be before they listen to the modern mainstream crap.

        I hooked up with someone who had her radio set to country music and heard these lyrics three our four times within a few days (the theme was if the singer had a million dollars):

        I would buy a boat. I would buy a truck to pull it.

        If that isn’t braindead, I don’t know what is.

          listening to manufactored pop music and thinking its the entire genre is the most braindead thing you can do. like saying rap only talks about shooting people and stealing and bitches and had no other possible social comments

        That’s like saying I’m an atheist because I haven’t read the bible. 🙄
