You can thank the Hardcore scene for inventing moshing and mosh pits. We also brought you stage diving. Crowd surfing? Check. We are the reason most non-biker white people that have them have tattoos. That's right, we made tattoos acceptable and cool because we didn't give a fuck what society said when they were pointing their collective finger at us for being ourselves and expressing individuality. Pink hair? Green hair? Blue hair? No one else was doing that shit except now everyone does. You should have seen the looks white America gave us. Fuck them. We promoted our shows, hung our flyers, improved graffiti and spraypainted the fuck out of some walls. All that shit is cool now. Why? Hardcore. Pussy ass motherfuckers. Hardcore brought respect for women, minorities and disenfranchised people to the forefront in music. It was anti Reagan and anti bullshit-patriarchal values. Hardcore was a reaction to cockrock/arena rock and the lameness of the disco scene and the wimpiness of the second British invasion/early MTV crap. It was easily the most political music movement since the anti-war 1960's. Police nationwide hated hardcore busting heads and shutting down shows for no reason. We were the front line fighting censorship and the PMRC. The feds went after the DK's over the Giger poster inside the Frankenchrist album to start the whole fight on what is acceptable. They lost. We opposed televangelists and religious leaders in politics like Pat Robertson. But y'all ignorant motherfuckers don't know any of that shit. Now you do. So vote it off chumps. In the words of the great Joey Shithead, "We don't care what you say fuck you."
there is definitely plenty of country pop that is just bad. but some of it is good, it just doesn't speak to the experience of the typical inforoo'er, or otherwise describes a culture that inforoo doesn't find appealing or interesting. that's OK, we don't have to force ourselves to like music that doesn't appeal to us, but it doesn't mean it's all objectively bad.
having said that when i was abusing amphetamine heavily i had a roommate who would come home drunk and put on "it's 5 o'clock somewhere" and play it really loud over and over. that song is a nightmare to me and still gives me tweaker flashbacks when i hear it. so i hate that song and refuse to consider it objectively.
music as a whole is subjective though. there is no such thing as truly bad music. i do not like country because it doesnt appeal to me so i am voting for it

But at least we can all agree that there is such a thing as truly good music:

challenge accepted!
gotta be honest here I love beats with finger snapping in them so I can’t even truly hate this.
i'd offer a specific trigger warning but it's like every trigger one could have is in there.
Oh, man. I was exposed to DAC's music pre-Internet, and got really into it without knowing anything about the guy. In particular, his cover of "Please Come to Boston" is something I'll still spin from time to time:
wow, great performance, never heard that before. he's got a great country voice. band is super tight too.

Blues and Hyperpop voters should set aside our silly generational differences and take out the real worst genre here: hardcore
And though it predated Three 6, what about hardcore rap? Public Enemy? Hardcore hiphop spawned its sub genre Gangsta rap. Each and every one of you pussies know you wanted to be gangsta too.

It’s not I have a problem with songs that focus on the culture of country music, it’s that so much of pop country has a either direct or implied message that says the white rural or antebellum experience is the “real” one, and inherently better than others that I find off putting. Especially since a lot of the imagery they glorify of farms and trucks is becoming less and less reflective of what life is like in even those areas.
And even if you don’t buy into any of that, every song being about trucks and farms and beer and listening to George Jones just gets fucking boring and repetitive. Every hit song has to work in the cliche cultural signifiers and it’s exhausting.
Most of the country people toss up here as good either avoids the “us vs them” trap or talks about identity in either an inclusive or truly personal way. In Dolly Parton’s “Why’d You Come in Here,” for example, the fact that the love interest is wearing boots and tight jeans is just the backdrop to the larger point of the song. It’s framed from her own country perspective but the larger theme is relatable. Compare that to a Jason Aldean song like “Dirt Road Anthem” or “She’s Country.” Those songs are just long strings of cliche stitched together.
Anyway, not voting country just yet because there is enough good to balance out the bad, but soon.
I’m proud to be an American cause at least I know I’m fray..god bless the USA vs Blow it out your ass Terry Dolan, blow it out your ass Jesse Helms, ram it up your cunt Anita cause god must be dead if you’re alive.
It’s no contest. You call yourselves the moral majority. We call ourselves people in the real world. Tryna stamp us out but we’re gonna survive cause god must be dead if you’re alive.

Or, to make a more succinct argument, the biggest country crossover song last year was an Applebee’s commercial.

Did “Eatin’ Good in the Neighborhood” finally crack the Top 40?
Eatin’ good in the neighborhood? I ate at one in Panama City a few years ago. It was incredibly average. Before that it had been 30+ years when they used to have all you can eat fries and riblets for like 9.00.
