Yeah. It should say “emo music is just country music in the city”

That implies they have some use. At least shit can be used for fertiliser. Emo and country are more toxic radioactive waste.

There’s good country and good emo. Dori Freeman is an excellent country artist, Japandroids are excellent emo (though they step outside of the generic emo box, though that’s also kind of my point). It’s just that anything that would be played at a mall is hot garbage. Which brings me to my stance: mall pop sucks, all of it. Mall country, mall emo, mall funk, you name a genre, it can be commercialized and played in a mall, ruining it

Or better yet, “emo is just country music for the suburbs”

Or “emo is city country” for maximal confusion out of context.

Modern country music is just dude’s from L.A. dunkin’ on country folk, parodying their dirt road/cold beer way of life, and these fucking inbreds eat it up like it’s the anthem of their soul.

Worse yet, the ones who aren’t just writing what hicks want to hear are trying to speak real sexy over a snap track. Whenever I hear “Country girls, shake it for me, girl…”, I can’t not think of obese 50-year-old bar flies chain smoking and dancing in denim. You’re not getting 10s shaking their bodies to that shit.

Anyone over a 6 left Yolksmobile County years ago.

When it’s a country song singing about some girl I think of some inbred conservative talking to an obese diet coke drinking land whale

Honestly being a southerner is infuriating because the media has decided minstrel shows are fine if they’re about Southerners…

Can I enjoy my grits on my sawdust covered floor in peace without Larry The Cable Guy making everything I stand for seem intellectually impaired?
