I grew up listening to country, so I have a soft spot for 90's country. I can't stand the more modern poppy or bro rock type country though.
Same here. Stuff like Alan Jackson and Vince Gill is fine. I don’t listen to it when I’m by myself or anything, but it’s not terrible music.
I can’t stand any of the newer radio country music at all.
I know people who listen to it and I just can’t do it.
I don’t at all relate to redneck culture or any of that.
My stepbrother is from Georgia, so he knew all about country back in the 80s when we were kids and I barely knew anything about music at all. This was before Alan Jackson and guys like that were even known outside of their hometown. I don’t know if he was a fan of it as much as it was what he was listening to with his mom and family back in Georgia.
I remember he knew all about George Strait, who was really young at the time. George Jones was another one, who was already ancient at the time.
And Hank Jr (and probably Sr too, but he was already long gone by then) who was probably a bit more edgier and once I started to understand his lyrics and beliefs I think I was pretty turned off by him. Not that I was ever into that music anyway.
