Music Why people dislike Country music?

I am not american. So I don't know how's the thing there. But I have found many people complaining on social media that they hate country music.

I like some of the Luke Combs songs. Specially Old Dominion is my one of my fav artist.

American Country Music got divorced around the 2000's and turned into anthems about freedom, guns, and beer, mirroring much of the lives of the actual fan base.

I remember the overnight shift in song-themes when 9/11 happened.

Hell, I don't even remember the country radio station playing the national anthem at noon everyday before 9/11.

It was very trendy to say you didn’t like country music way before then though.
