I like some old country, but since the late 80s it's not country anymore like Rock isn't rock, it's pop garbage mostly.Gary Oak wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 3:52 am Is country music not white American music and rap not black American music ? I like it that foreigners or other ethnicities that like either of these music styles give them a try. Beyoncé tried doing a country album and she’s getting a lot of flak for it and this seems just wrong. A lot of Canadians like country music too. I saw a lot of anti Americanism overseas but my experience with Americans is mostly very good.
Country music comes from folk music in Europe, but has a lot of inspiration from soul music, and others.
Same can be said for rock, and pop, black music put a lot into them.
