Okay, so briefly today in class we spoke of country music. Though some country music is solely focused on alcohol, girls, trucks, girls in white tank tops, and sex/ partying, most songs are really so much more. They about the everyday American life that we experience and tell us stories unlike any other genre of music. They brings attention to current issues, yet will also compliment the good things that life has to offer. I'd like to a show you a counter example to your stereotypes, an artist that I really do enjoy and that I think will change your mind quite quickly. Below I have posted links to two of her songs, please listen and respond, I'd love to hear what you think. =D

I would like to mention that in your "stereotype breakers" there is alcohol, girls, sex and trailers/trucks.
ReplyDeleteyes, but does it not break that stereotype you have? doesn't it focus more on the issues we face in society today? she point out the issues in alcohol, sex, and trailer/ trucks, not redneck partying with them. its on a deeper level.
ReplyDeleteYour argument is a little flawed Lauren... but I get where you're coming from. So as a fellow country music lover I will help you win over some people with these songs that are not about "stereotypical country music".
