Take me home - Lemmy.world

My tractor broke down and my dog stole my truck

Country pre-dates emo...
Yeah. It should say “emo music is just country music in the city”
No need to argue guys. Let’s all just agree that they’re both shit.
That implies they have some use. At least shit can be used for fertiliser. Emo and country are more toxic radioactive waste.
Human shit can’t be used for fertilizer. I mean, I guess it would work, but it’s against a shitload of health and safety regs.
There’s good country and good emo. Dori Freeman is an excellent country artist, Japandroids are excellent emo (though they step outside of the generic emo box, though that’s also kind of my point). It’s just that anything that would be played at a mall is hot garbage. Which brings me to my stance: mall pop sucks, all of it. Mall country, mall emo, mall funk, you name a genre, it can be commercialized and played in a mall, ruining it
I’d love to hear an example of “mall funk” lol.
Or “emo is city country” for maximal confusion out of context.
Or better yet, “emo is just country music for the suburbs”
You are 100% correct and I’m fine with it.

You have insulted emo and I wont stand for it…

If you’d like to apologize I’ll be brooding over in the corner writing a song about this.

It used to be, now it’s just bragging about how big your truck is, or how much beer you drink, or how good your wife’s ass looks in jeans.
Yeah now it’s rural 1990s mainstream gangsta brag rap
As Steve Earle said, it’s hip-hop for guys that are afraid of black people

A dirt road

A cold beer

A big truck

A girl I want to take to church

Good girl

In a straw hat

With her arms out in a corn field

… That is a scarecrow

Thought that was a human woman, sorry

Darkness falls.

Lightning strikes.

Scarecrow becomes animated.

Chases you down and devours your bones.

This is a good song
Modern country music is just emo music while wearing wranglers instead of skinny jeans
Isn’t bluegrass a subgenre from country?
Old time country. Country itself is just pop on acoustic guitar and funny accents.
Related genres but I wouldn’t say it’s a subgenre. They both evolved from “string music” but took it in very different directions.
Modern country music is just dude’s from L.A. dunkin’ on country folk, parodying their dirt road way of life, and these fucking inbreds eat it up like it’s the anthem of their soul.
IT’S A FUCKING SCARECROW AGAIN!
Honestly being a southerner is infuriating because the media has decided minstrel shows are fine if they’re about Southerners…
When it’s a country song singing about some girl I think of some inbred conservative talking to an obese diet coke drinking land whale
There’s 10s. You’d be surprised.
It used to be farm punk.
It still is if you listen to alt country.
Jason Isbell is solid.
everything is emo if you read the lyrics
THIS IS MY COMEBACK SONG! IT’S ONLY MEANT TO FUCKING PROVE YOU WRONG! I AM SO FAR FROM BEING FAMOUS! I KNOW YOU’RE NOT THE SAME AS ME AND THAT’S THE WAY I WANT IT TO BE!
There’s a documentary about this called Trolls 2.
I had to shoot my wife because she was sleeping with my truck.
I mean old country sure I suppose. New country at least of what I have heard no.
New “country” music is hip hop for white people that are afraid of black people.

Haha, I remember when they all dyed their hair blond and put on a wife beater and named their teen mom babies Haley.

Now they all have big belt buckles and cowboy hats and say, “Uuupchyerrrrrch!” “Ayuhpcherch??” “Urrrrpchuuuurch!” “Heyuhl yeah! Upchurch!”

Your comment smells like Mich Lites

I was going through some old casette tapes my parents had. One country group from the 80s-90s had a song that basically said they’d be the last contry band left when the rest turn into pop. I have to track it down again!

New country pop country sucks but I can listen to some Tyler Childers, First Aid Kit or Johnny Cash any day. Like most music the good stuff is out there if you look past the corporate radio crap

I’ve always said country music is blues for white people
Ugh, no. The blues are awesome. Blues music does not celebrate ignorance, nor is it whiny.
Yo, I have to strongly disagree. As a backyard farmer and someone who loves emo music, country music does NOT represent me lol. I grew up on large farms, so I know what the true for realsy farmer life is also like. I just do backyard stuff because $$$$

Emo music isn’t racist, also

See: Jason Aldean

Pop is just emo for basic removed.
Hyperpop is just emo for uhh… emos that love techno?
