OMG: Since when did country music become so popular? I know so many people who didn't care for it at all then all of a sudden it seemed to become popular. Like it almost became the cool thing; to be "country". Nothing against country but it's just an observation I've made. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

ReplyDeleteCountry's a summertime thing for me, so maybe that's it?
ReplyDeleteCountry isn't cool, and never will be. Folk, on the other hand...
ReplyDeleteIt's not...
ReplyDeleteI KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN!

ReplyDeleteCountry isn't popular, its just all the hicks from waterloo and other small towns who listen to it.
ReplyDeleteYou're a fool to think Waterloo is hick
DeleteYah I came to Waterloo from a much larger city. At first I was like, woah, when did country music become popular? But later I realized it's just because of all the country bumpkins from around Waterloo, London, etc. that make it seem that way. I just wasn't used to being around so many farm kids.
ReplyDeleteThis.
DeleteAlmost no one listens to country where I'm from and seeing so many farm/country folk and their obsession with country music and lifted trucks took some getting used to.
Maybe you're just becoming more aware of the pockets of people in which country is popular.
ReplyDeleteI went to Guelph to visit some friends last year, and I was shocked to hear all of their friends blasting country "unironically" at a party. That being said, my friends and I come from a large suburb while all of *their* friends come from small farms in the middle of nowhere.
Ah yes, the "middle of nowhere" that is actually pretty much everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the same thing. I grew up in Waterloo and it was never popular. I come to uni and it's rampant. People I know who would never listen to it before jumped on the bandwagon because it was popular

ReplyDeleteSomebody asked me if I was 'country' the other day... And I wondered what that even means? I do not own a tractor or ride horses or work on a farm, so no, I suppose I am not country... I think cowboy boots are pretty and enjoy some country songs and own one or two plaid shirts, but is that enough to justify me as 'country'.
ReplyDeleteLabels are silly.
You're not the people OP is talking about then
Delete97% of Canadians are from the middle of nowhere.

ReplyDeleteFor like 10 years I was mocked ruthlessly for liking country, then I came here and all the sudden everyone is lovin' country. IDK what it is, but I came to T.O. and a few of my friends who went to York and Brock (who hated county) all the sudden were all excitee about a Luke Bryan concert.
ReplyDeleteIDK what it is. Maybe people are getting sick of hearing 'shots' 'n*****r' 'n***a' 'ho' and 'f***' 150 times in a 3-4:00 minute song?
And btw, whoever thinks Waterloo is hick is outta their f***ing mind
Grew up in waterloo, country was popular in high school, city kids and country kids both listened to it. It was very popular among hockey bros for some reason. A lot of kids from waterloo go to uw or Laurier so country never seems to die in this city.
