idk, why do people constantly have to post about how much they hate country music?
Bc it sucks and there are entire parts of the country where it's shoved down your throat.
Never been to Tennessee but I guess that's all they play there. The radio stations are all country, talk shows, or gospel. No hip hop, rock, R&B, jazz...nothing. Person I knew was telling me about it, but maybe things have changed in the last 15ish years.
I grew up in MO and where i lived we could get 4 different country stations and a pop station (that also played a bunch of country.) it wasn't until my senior year of high school where you could get a rock station, which was actually cool bc they had a couple college kid DJs that played some cool stuff.
I wouldn't have listened to any hip hop, R&B, jazz or punk without the internet. my family side eyes me if I happen to listen to any of those genres when I'm back home.
it's pretty much everywhere.. especially anywhere not near a city of a million+
Nickelback (or the contemporary equivalent) is terrible and ubiquitous, but you don't see people saying "fuck, I hate rock music" without qualification.
There is no contemporary equivalent to Nickelback bc rock music isn't really relevant that much anymore but I've heard people go out of their way to say they hate metal, jazz, hip hop, pop music, EDM, and disco without qualification plenty of times.
Not even saying I hate it, it’s pretty neutral to me, I just don’t get why it has such a hold on people not from the country or the south or rural areas.
