Who hates country music and rednecks

Post Reply New Topic

I can't stand country, it's so simple and predictable. My country listening friend said he used to hate it too, but listening to enough of it "converted" him. I've been subjected to many hours of it (my current roommate puts on GAC all the time) and it just hurts my brain. I wonder how much good metal these rednecks have heard?

One band I like that may be considered country is Drive-By Truckers, but they're more southern rock than country.

Rednecks are one class of people that I really dislike. It's probably horrible, but I just can't like those people.
I detest what country music has turned into. I really like old country music -- Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, et al. And there are some fabulous modern country artists, although they're now in the "alt country" category. One of my favorite albums lately is by Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez, called "Red Dog Tracks". Fantastic.

Hate country music, like rednecks.

I hate rednecks and the type of country music they listen to but not all country is bad...I mean look at Johnny Cash.

It was a miracle I escaped and came to NYC... Ironically only to have one of my closest friends be a country-lovin' "gal" from Missouri.

Theres a difference between people like her and most "country loving rednecks". She wants a future and is looking towards one, getting an education.

Not saying all rednecks deny themselves an education, but where I'm from there was a large percentage of kids at our school who didn't like thinking about things much and decided since they didn't really give a crap about their futures, they'd just knock up their high school sweethearts and take up farming. We had more classes like "horticulture" than we did math classes. It was accepted.

I guess it's like with Socrates. "An unexamined life is not worth living". Their apathy towards themselves and shallowness disgusted me. (Whose truck was the muddiest and whose engine was loudest when revved. Who could blast country music louder.)

"save a horse, ride a cowboy"
has anyone been forced to listen to this disgustingly vapid song? Songs like this I hate.

All cliques and generalized groups of people have their ignorant, their empty. Where I'm from the rednecks are just the most obvious.

Hmm, I grew up a redneck in West Texas

Yep, told all the same aggie jokes, black jokes, mexican jokes, and never thought anything of it.

I grew up on country music... REAL COUNTRY MUSIC not the junk they play now-a-days! It's more rock than anything now.

I finally grew up and started respecting people no matter how much different they were from me.

I'm not sure all of you are actually talking about true rednecks... sorta like talking about bikers who are really Harley YUPPIE Davidson riders.

It seems to be popular to claim to be a redneck and act out the stereotype. I hear more folks here on the coast of California who try to sound like they grew up in Texas, or Alabama, etc... funny, but pathetic also.

Too many of them buy a horse, lock it up in a little pen, ride it some weekends, and then run out and buy all the 'cowboy' crap so they can play the part.
Then they come up with that made-up drawl, the attitude, and the huge truck, just because that's what a 'real redneck/cowboy/cowgirl' is all about! They fly the Confederate flag even though they have no connection with the Confederacy... but it's Redneck and Southern by GOD! Yep!
They run around with all this 'red, white, and blue patriotism no matter if they are supporting something morally right or wrong.
Just a bunch of pathetic losers.
Hell, real Rednecks get more respect from me than the fakers.
Makes me sick
