I love me some country music. Not the contemporary pop country on the radio. The blues mode stuff is where it's at
Hahahah interesting taste in music, I listen to it on rare occasion on alternative radio station
Country gets a bad rap, and I bet you've only heard the worst parts. At it's core, it's simply beautiful harmonies and intricate string instrument arrangements.
Yes, when you look at a lot of the mainstream stuff, most of it has lost integrity. Some of the most beautiful music is only found with deeper digging. I consider it all "alternative", because in a way its a rebellion against mainstream.
Yea, labels for music is weird. Like, the term "rock" has been so diluted and it means nothing like original "rock and roll." And it's only been around since the 50s and 60s.
Yes, terms like "indie" is becoming more of thing, but I feel that is because there isn't an actual name for it.
Agreed. "Indie" seems to encapsulate all DIY and self-produced stuff outside of mainstream. But guess what else that describes? Punk. I say get rid of all labels. Stop it. And pay attention.
