Do you happen to be a country music fan - it's a genre of music that originated in the southern US in the 1920s
I can't stand country myself. I would rather listen to anything else, lol.
You are not alone in that!!  It takes its roots from folk music and I don't like that either!
I understand it is an important genre as it influenced rock and roll. But I still don't have to like it, hah.
Apparently they used to call it hillbilly music - LOL!  
I call it that today. It seems most songs are about depressing things. I would rather hear songs that are positive.
There are so many ballads and supposed dance tunes but they are depressing, you are right.  They lose their house, their wife, their car, etc.
I do like one country song about a John Deere running over grandma. It is pretty funny spoof.
I bet John Deere got some free advertising out of that one - not like they need it as they are 105th in the Fortune 500!
