The country music genre is another casualty of 9/11

This reads like one of those pious hip-hop memes that compares Nas against Soulja Boy, but with country music it's actually accurate.

More like Nas to mumble rap.

In Johnny's defense, he was considered rockabilly, which influenced a much broader range of music than just 'country'.

I don't think Johnny is really in need of defense. He's got this one.
Cruxifux@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
…he was? I always thought of him as, like, the ur-country singer.

My grandfather told me he liked Western, but he didn’t like Country. Blew my mind as I’d always just heard it as Country-Western.

Have you ever watched Blues Brothers?
"What kind of music do you play here?"
"Oh we have both kinds, country and western."

I remember that but I think I just interpreted as a joke about Country Western more than an indication they used to be distinct genres.

Been replaying New Vegas, now I'm getting flashbacks to the tune of Johnny Guitar.
superduperenigma@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Yeah I think the devs accidentally included the file for Johnny Guitar twice. So if it feels like it's playing twice as often as any other song, it's because it is.

Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys have some fantastic western swing.

country peaked in the 90s and never recovered

Now here's a song about me stalking and harassing my ex that's going to stay on the top 40 charts for fucking ever.
I already didn't like modern country, but that was the moment country music breathed its last as far as I'mm concerned.

Is Orville Peck considered country? I feel like it might be my gateway drug.

Looks like Johnny Cash to me, and the quote would make sense from him.

It's the lyrics to an incredible song ironically titled "Guns go boom boom, Trucks go vroom vroom"
