See I don't know whether you're offended I said country was shite or dubstep was shite

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

I live in WI, so the following is commonplace:

It wasn't a block-blaster. IT WAS THE RACES, FIVE BLOCKS AWAY. And it sounded like it was right out my window.

Unholy Armok, that is loud.

Yoink, is it country or dubstep that you like?

[NRDL]

I've always wondered what personality characteristics and quirks determine what music one likes or doesn't like.  There needs to be comprehensive studies on this.

[BorkBorkGoesTheCode]

Aren't there some studies?

[Frumple]

Dunno about studies, but I wouldn't be too surprised if there's some scarily accurate marketing data out there. Though outliers still gonna' outlie, o'course.

Country. Dubstep is almost as bad as pop and rap.
Then again, where I live country isn't so very commercialized. Hm.

Country is like, the business here.

It's awful.

Might make a difference. Most of the country I hear basically is pop, except with a smaller subject range of the lyrics, less varied instrumentals, and generally worse singing t'boot. It's about as samey as mainstream rap, and somehow even manages to be less inventive.

I hear a lot of modern country. Several orders of magnitude more than I want to. There's (very) occasionally the decent one, and a fair chunk of the older (style) stuff is pretty great, but most of it... I'd rather listen to rap. At least that's somewhat harder to understand, so I'm not as likely to have to suffer through understanding the lyrics.

feeling really weird right now
the best way to describe it is probably very euphoric yet very anxious
together they make me completely unable to stand still and unable to be productive at all

Solution: Put on a youtube series you've been meaning to watch and go for a walk, either outside if it's light or inside if otherwise.

Rodney Crowell and Waylon Jennings (perhaps not their later stuff) forever, maaan.

And Johnny Cash and J. J. Walker.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

Caroline: I get that feeling sometimes. Exercise (light) can help, yeah.

Country /can/ be good music. It is just very frequently awful.

M'pretty fond of some of Axton's work, m'self.* Most the other stuff I'm particularly fond of are one-off stuff, or at least I never bothered looking up more by the artist.

Pretty sure just about everyone's fairly a'ight with cash and walker, though

*E: Though he did do a bit more than just country, mind.

[hector13]

Older country is... bearable I guess. This... pop-rock-country garbage though? No thanks.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

My favorite is slightly old rock. Stuff like Coldplay and Keane.

Of course, people tend to like what their parents liked, so that's no surprise.
