I’ve learned that any European will go balls out for a rodeo. Me personally, I like picking and Americana. Also redneck engineering. Wont lie, sometimes im jamming on some folk or old time country music.

Forgive the title, trying not to confused or offend.

    Country music from before it became hick rap. Songs that told cool stories instead of being about nationalism and pickup trucks

      I think a lot of pre-1980s country is pretty good. When it did things like tell stories and wasn’t just formulaic crap about god and Jesus and America and your truck and your girlfriend in cutoff jeans.

      Didn’t Willie Nelson out smoke Snoop Dogg at one point?

      But also, yes, old school country that tried to tell a story and wasn’t just formulaic pandering to rural americans was great.

        Probably. They even did a collaboration song together, “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die”. Pretty funny hearing Snoop sing a country song.

    True southern hospitality—like giving a stranger a ride home because you happened to see them walking along the road—is something I’m big into. I always try to do what I can to be that person. Which usually embarrasses my husband and he’s telling me to mind my own business, lol.

    All the funerals I’ve been to in the south had a big gathering afterwards with a ton of homemade food, and I think that should really be standard. My (non southern) husband was surprised the first time we had to stay and eat and talk to everyone afterwards.

    I can get down with some bluegrass.

    Especially bluegrass covers of classic rock and metal songs.

    I grew up in the Southern/Midwest U.S., and a large part I don’t miss, but I find myself missing the small town culture. I liked being able to know almost everybody there

      Honestly, I can’t think of anything cooler to a pre-adolescent boy than cars smashing into each other.

    I guess I’m in the minority because along with a lot of other genres I like new (and old) country music.

    When I was living in the Europe I truly enjoyed traveling to Italy and Spain and enjoy the siesta time. Basically few afternoon hours where just a time off, the world slowed down and you could take your time doing absolutely nothing.
