What do you think of country music?
It is okay. I actually tend to like blues and folk music more, which is where country music got it's roots.
True. I don't care much for modern country myself. I would prefer to listen to bluegrass. Especially anything with a fiddle.
You know country music actually used to be called hillbilly music decades ago? I find that hilarious!
Ha! It could totally still be called that. Although, it may seem somewhat of an insult.
I think so too! I find it interesting that in 2009, country music was the most listened to during rush hour traffic, and the 2nd most listened to in the morning.
That is interesting. But considering how much more like "pop" music it has become, it's no wonder. The modern style probably appeals to a larger audience.
That's true. Although the term country encompasses a ton of styles and subgenres
Yes, but some of what is now called country probably would not have been 25-30 years ago.
It started with folk music, especially Irish and Celtic fiddle tunes, some English ballads, and songs by cowboys. It is entirely different in the modern age.
