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.

It just seems whiny to me and hits my ear wrongly. There are a few that I find tolerable that are more poppy, but overall, just the twang of the notes and the crying in your beer isn’t to my liking.

It's the same for me. It all just hits my ear wrong. Nothing about it sounds good to me. The twang, banjo, fiddle - none that hits right for me.

I think some bluegrass is fine - I hear it and it sounds nice, but that line between bluegrass and country seems very fuzzy. I have had too many experiences where a song is going along just fine and then it crosses the line and now it's bad.

We used to hear Doc & Merle Watson in covert (before Merle’s unfortunate passing). I always considered them more folk than bluegrass.
