True statement. Miss me with that truck-beer-girl-dog shit.
Steve Goodman and John Prine are said to have written the "perfect" country song. Incorporating as it does trucks, trains, the rain, mama, drinkin' and prison.
"Well, I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison And I went to pick her up in the rain But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck She got run over by a damned old train..."

Don't forget jeans. Gotta throw those in
I'm sure there's some dumbass country "truck-beer-girl-dog" songs that are great. Haven't heard any but still
I get the hate for truck beers, don't DUI folks. But what's wrong with girl dogs?
Yeah...
Girl-dog
It called hick-hop
Yeah this is more folk, like Fleetwood Mac or others. What would be called stadium country is pure trash, but god damn that folk music..

Old country is much better than the complete garbage of modern day country
Today's "country" is pop with a southern accent. Long live Lefty Frizzell, Marty Robbins, Roger Miller, Buck Owens, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Jeannie C. Reily, Hank Sr, Charlie Pride, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Porter Wagoner...
The list of amazing old country music is long as fuck if given a chance. The list of today's good country artists? Charley Crockett, Sturgil Simpson, Hank III, John Moreland, American Aquarium. That's about it, few more I'm forgetting I'm sure.
Today's POPULAR country is that way. There are still great country artists, they just don't get as big. Molly Tuttle, Billy Strings, Charlie Crockett, Margo Price, Sarah Jarosz

Honestly, even some of the more pop stuff pre-2000s was good. I do love me some Dwight Yoakam. But I can't handle any of the stuff they play on country stations these days. All the songs sound the same and are almost all about the same exact things. I wouldn't be surprised if they just have AI coming up these songs at this point.

Absolutely. Og country has more in common with punk than modern Ford truck month country.
Happy you mentioned modern ones. It ain't my jam, but people often lament how it's all shit now when there are almost always artists keeping it alive. Just have to look a little harder.

If you haven't seen it, I implore you to watch the Studio Ghibli film Whisper of the Heart. This song features heavily. It's my favorite Ghibli film, heck it's possibly my favorite film period.
Just saw it for the first time a couple days ago. Beautiful film. Been keeping a running list of what age I should show Ghibli movies to my niece. I put this one at 13. She turns 4 soon, which I think is a good age to start her with Ponyo.
Thank you, this is an unexpectedly wholesome recommendation on a shitpost.
Had Mr sunshine on his goddamn shoulders ever visited wv he would have changed the lyrics..... Ain't nobody Wana go the the shithole that is wv
I'll say this, it's one of the most beautiful states as far as nature goes. Going white-water rafting in the fall when the leaves are changing in the New River Gorge was spectacular. But everything else about the state.... yeah. I traveled quite extensively there when I financially audited a coal company. It's honestly just hopeless how poor and uneducated the people are, and how they vote against their own interests every single time, only making their situation more desperate.

Boon County matin' call
Hell, even Germans love 'em some Country Roads.

EDIT: Forgot to add, when I met my Filipina fiancé I wasn't sure what sorts of American culture she had been exposed to. LOL, put on Country Roads and she started belting it out. 9 to 5 also!
I was in a pretty remote village in the north of north Luzon Philippines several years ago and I heard a stereo play country road. I was confused if I was actually hearing it but yep there it was and someone was singing to it

Also me whenever Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' comes on
Johnny Cash too!
My Filipina gf knew that one too! OTOH, "I do not know, what's this?, Metallica?"
The most modern country music I will listen to is Garth Brooks. Unless Country Song by Seether counts as country music.

Is that country or folk?
It was country music, back when it came out.
Now it would probably be called "Americana" or something.

I exclusively associate that song with RTGame on YouTube obliterating his cities in Cities Skylines.
As an aside, IRL I like to call the state "Left Virginia" for ironic shits and giggles.
This is accurate, I hate country music with a passion but freely acknowledge this is one of the 3 good ones.
