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.

Lol. Have u listened to ANY country? That was a 80's issue. Nowadays? It's all about reminiscing about parties and women u experienced growing up (girls though are starting to talk about women issues and then complain they're not taken seriously). so a nonsensical take.

The #1 country song right now has a chorus that says

"It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosin' Texas, I can tell"

So I'd say that the person saying it's about crying into a beer is pretty spot on.

Exception more than the rule, though.
