I don't really buy this. Take modern American pop country. People LOVE that music and it is some of the worst of the lot.
And again I have nothing against the genre. I listen to non pop country. But people are specifically attracted to the worst of it and they seem to very actively like it.
- omegaham 5y agoI have a vivid memory of this. I got free tickets to a country music concert, and basically treated it as a party with a twangy soundtrack. It was fun, and I enjoyed myself. While waiting for my ride, I got to talking with a woman who got really offended that I saw it that way - she likened it to a religious experience, and how dare I treat it so flippantly. I apologized while marveling to myself that something that felt so mediocre and forgettable to me was someone else's reason to exist.
