🎶Got an old truck🎶

🎶Got some beer🎶

🎶Got an old dog🎶

🎶Got a weird sense of nationalism that won’t let me identify with anyone but people who look exactly like me🎶

When I was a preacher I did a sermon around that episode. It's got a legitimately great message at the end about the perils of trying to make spirituality hip.

I'm sure they received the message well! XD

Positive adjective, rual noun

Cold beer

Warm night

Red pick-up

and something about hunting or fishing thrown in there and you now have a modern country song

Removing the tracking so they might not immediately associate our accounts when I click it. Probably know it, love Bo.

Ah thanks man. Didn't even think about that. I appreciate it

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

They lured us in with 20 years of copying “””un”””tracked URLs…

The alt country folks have too, but that’s also because they didn’t like the sound Nashville was peddling

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That strain of nationalism predates 9/11. Sometimes even out of those same outlaw country artists. Johnny Cash did Man in Black, but also Ragged Old Flag.

[–] techt@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It all started with Okie From Muskogee in response to the Summer of Love

Then there's Dixon Dallas:

He's bouncing off my booty cheeks, I love the way he rides

I can hardly breathe when he's pumping deep inside

I kiss him on his neck and then he kisses on my bussy

Call him daddy while I holler "Man, that boy so damn good lookin'!"

[–] undercrust@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

That is impressively out there. Good for them!

What bro country sounds like to people who don't like bro country https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CORANvT8l9A

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Every time I make fun of country I’ll sing some made up lyrics like “got a girl in my truck and my truck in my beer” so I definitely laughed when I heard this parody because it’s basically the same thing.

There's still some outlaw type country out there. Just have to search more.

Ford truck month country is a blight tho

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Outlaw country still exists and garbage pop country has been a thing since the 60s. Stop listening to the Top 40.

[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Cherlene is the queen of outlaw country.

"Outlaw different country woooooo!"

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The people that like classic country: Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, early River Shook (fka Sarah Shook)

For county Rock: Brent Cobb, Wilco, The Old 97's, recent River Shook

For more modern country: Kacey Musgraves, Honey Harper, Margo Price...

And the list goes on.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Geese should get an honorable mention here. Country post-punk is an amazing invention.

heavy breathing intensifies

...somehow I'd missed that band (and entire subgenre, frankly). Thanks for the tip

Edit: holy shit, what the fuck did I just listen to? The first few songs off of 3D Country are like Jimi Hendrix singing with The Velvet Underground turning psychedelic folk into grungy soul with lyrics like Zappa trying to emulate Dylan

Toby Keith is the prime example of that. His early stuff was great. Should've Been a Cowboy is one of my all time favorite country songs. And then he got obnoxious and shitty, but man did he make a lot of money off racists.

Can we start a petition to make the good "country" music be called something else and all of the any other genre, but with a fake accent and nationalism just be country? The name is tainted by decades of shit music and shit people that only care about WHITE MERICA.

Even good country had its nationalists. Marty Robbins made some certified bangers but he was also a nationalist who made a song in support of the Vietnam war.

Havin BBQ in the backyard,
Bombin Iraq in my heart,
Ate too many beans,
Now it’s time to fart.

Bud light is too accepting of trans people.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Country music listeners aren't exactly Pabst Blue Ribbon's key demo.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

And they don’t drink Bud light anymore ever since Budweiser treated a trans person as a person who has a right to exist.

Country music in the 50s: I tripped and fell into a burning ring of fire and fell down down down
