I think the culture surrounding music is relevant when discussing it but even if we want to stick only to the actual music: steel guitars are super expensive and the lyrical themes of many country songs involve lifestyles most working class people are priced out of.
Same thing with culturally black music. Buy expensive things, commit crimes, lash out at one another, compete with everyone. It’s seemingly designed to keep black people broke, in jail, and fighting one another.
