So which song is on the left?
Drive-By Truckers would like a word with you, sir.
Can we start a petition to make the good “country” music be called something else and all of the any other genre, but with a fake accent and nationalism just be country? The name is tainted by decades of shit music and shit people that only care about WHITE MERICA.
Other way around for me.
Theres country, and there sugar (read:twang) colored pop for those who dont want to admit they only listen to pop music.
The settled on term is “alt country”, though a lot of country fans prefer to other modern mainstream radio country as “bro country” since alt country implies that alt country is a departure from traditional country despite being more of a return to classical roots than an intended presentation of departure from the norm. I often tell people if Johnny Cash or Dolly Parton were starting their careers today they’d definitively be put in the alt country bucket.
Which also gets me to an important point I wish more people would take into consideration: genre is a constructed element of music, largely stemming less from artistic movements and more from radio formats. The modern day music landscape has much less to do with artistic expression and much more to do with what advertisers thinks will sell tires, cheap beer, and fast food combo meals. Even deconstructed genres like hyperpop stem from the record industries need to assign everything to a specific radio format and artists wanting to put a spotlight on the commercialization of one of humanities oldest endeavors (song / dance).
Country music in the 50s: I tripped and fell into a burning ring of fire and fell down down down
Translation:
Fell in love with a married woman and I’m going to burn in hell for my sins cause I’m a bad man
It’s always been nationalism.
Nooo. This is a very narrow perspective on country. The original county artists were all on the margins and most of them fucking hated the jingoistic notions of America being great because being poor or black in America in the late 40s wasn’t a good time
Country music is the lowest form of music, below music for toddlers.
you havent heard country music then
Downvoted by radio-listeners. Country is great, anyone who says “Live at Folsom Prison” isn’t one of the best live albums of all time is, ironically, a toddler. Pop country is trash and has been trash for decades.
its the same as saying all rap is for gangsters and pimps and thats all they talk about
What bro country sounds like to people who don’t like bro country https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CORANvT8l9A
Every time I make fun of country I’ll sing some made up lyrics like “got a girl in my truck and my truck in my beer” so I definitely laughed when I heard this parody because it’s basically the same thing.
I knew what channel it’d be before clicking. “What RHCP sounds like to people who don’t like RHCP” is an instant cult classic
Nah it’s country music , it’s always bene garbage.
Country is a complex and varied genre. For every garbage ass Kenny Chesney out there, there’s a Sam Gleeves, Dori Freeman, Shovels and Rope, or Dead South doing something interesting.

Country music listeners aren’t exactly Pabst Blue Ribbon’s key demo.
And they don’t drink Bud light anymore ever since Budweiser treated a trans person as a person who has a right to exist.
Yeah, it needed to be some bud heavies or whatever piss flavor water they are drinking. I think the creator picked Pabst because of the colors
Following the Chicago fire and the destruction of their breweries, Milwaukee breweries were able to step up to provide the masses with beer. Transporting the beer on ships traversing lake Michigan breweries like Best were able to grow and expand.
Philip Best only had daughters, one of them married a ship captain that had worked on the transport ships. He ended up more or less running the brewery. Out of appreciation for his contribution in 1889 they renamed the brewery Pabst Brewing Company after Captain Pabst.
The company also was a successful cheese producer and the cheese side was eventually bought out by Kraft.
ON WISCONSIN!
I never noticed the way the guy on the right reacts when Hopper yells Heineken. Either that was unscripted or he acted it out way more energetically than anyone thought he would.
omg thank you for pointing that out. I’m pretty sure Hopper was just playing himself in that movie, I’m sure that guy’s reaction was genuine.
The woman averts her head from the camera at the same time.
Some old timer drank too much beer, pissed out his arse,.and it got recanned because it was Prohibition or the Depression or something similar?
Bud light?
White Claw plz
Bud light is too accepting of trans people.
🎶Got an old truck🎶
🎶Got some beer🎶
🎶Got an old dog🎶
🎶Got a weird sense of nationalism that won’t let me identify with anyone but people who look exactly like me🎶
Hey now, there is still good country
There’s still some outlaw type country out there. Just have to search more.
Ford truck month country is a blight tho
Beau Burnham has one about this…
The alt country folks have too, but that’s also because they didn’t like the sound Nashville was peddling
You dumb mother fuckers want a key change?
Removing the tracking so they might not immediately associate our accounts when I click it. Probably know it, love Bo.
Ah thanks man. Didn’t even think about that. I appreciate it
They lured us in with 20 years of copying “””un”””tracked URLs…
