      @yodelerty Lots of country artists sound similar, but that's what makes them all country artists, right?

          @yodelerty Does this include subgenres like honky tonk and bluegrass?

              @yodelerty I gotta disagree then, even though I don't really listen to much country

                      @yodelerty I could be wrong, but I think you mostly just get exposed to a very specific style of country played on the radio a whole lot

                        @northernnarwhal it's always about trucks or jesus or something and there's only one singer for all the guy songs and one for all the girl songs

                          @yodelerty What about Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues? My read on that song has always been a metaphor for regret.

                              @yodelerty Liking is another thing entirely, it's just about whether all country music is in fact the same. Admittedly the genre doesn't have nearly the level of experimentation a genre like rock or jazz may have, but it's an old genre and there are distinctions between specific periods of it. Saying it all sounds the same because you've been exposed to a specific and particularly homogenized period of it seems kinda reductive in opinion.

                                @northernnarwhal What I get for saying stuff like that with a music person nearby

                                  @yodelerty I'm not really even much of a country fan myself, and I can see how it would be frustrating to hear country on the radio everywhere, I just thought I'd try and mention that lots of the time things can be more revelatory than what you're immediately exposed to, that's all.

                                      @yodelerty That being said, I do absolutely folk music, but that's something else entirely ipso facto.
