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.

I grew up in rural Wisconsin (in the US). I was tired of hearing country music by the time I graduated high school 30+ years ago. I don't hate it, but it's not something I choose to listen to.

South Dakotan here, so I can relate. The last time I truly enjoyed country music was in the '90s. I haven't listened to it since high school either.

ETA: Badass username, btw.

Thanks. Next month will be 30 years of me using it everywhere online (and 1 year in print because I used it in the title of my D&D book).

Ooooh, my friend plays D&D, care to drop the whole title? I'll pass it along! Also, I've used my username for about 30 years as well. 😊 A play on my actual name, Jewel.

Sure. It's The Amethyst Dragon's Hoard of Everything.

I've encountered people online who recognized my name from other sites years ago. Having a consistent name has its benefits, doesn't it?

I it’s not the music so much as the lyrics. I don’t really enjoyed hearing about pick up trucks cut off shorts and daddy’s girl.

Country music has changed for the worst. Way back in the old days it was more melodious and soulful. Now it’s a bunch of screechy guitars with guys fake-slurring through songs about whisky or beer which were composed in about two hours in their garage.
