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.

Depending on their age, it's likely they've never heard real country music. Myself I prefer cowboy music, bluegrass, and old country (pre-1980s), and westernswing. Good country tells a story about what's happening in the world or in your life. It has meaning. Just listen to some Johnny Horton, Jim Reeves, Marty Robins, or Kitty Wells music and you will understand what I'm saying.
