ur just not listening to the right stuff man, u cant listen to any of the shit on modern country tv or radio station, toby keith, shania twain, kenny chesney, tim mcgraw, garth brooks, fuck them all they should all die they helped rape country music. the only new country singer out right now who's worth a damn is Hank Williams III.
you gotta listen to that real country, hank williams SR, JR, and III, david allan coe, merle haggard, waylon jennings, johnny cash, willie nelson, george jones, and alot more but that'll get someone started.
i've grown up in the midwest too, though i got southern blood. and im only 21, and i digg this shit.
alot of people listen to shit up here, if your one of those 50 cent lovein kids, then nevermind there's no hope for you. i meen come on i see kids driveing in there nice cars there parents bought for them, wearing abercrombie and shit, and listening to gangster rap. just a generation who dont have a clue who they are.
eh maybe im just old fashioned, but i just believe music died in the 80's, sure theres been a few great bands between then, like pantera, lamb of god, audioslave, pearl jam, nirvana, weezer, tool, and more, but theres been way more garbage out there then anything, ricky martin(wtf is wrong with people who liked livin la vida loca, if i liked that song, i would put a bullet in my own head) britney spears, nsync, backstreet boys, chumbawumba. and tons of other shitty bands. and dont let me forget rap. even though i do apreciate some good rap, like 2pac, krs-one, and im sure there's a few others, im not that into rap though but dont get me wrong i do recognize there is some special talent in that genre, but there's alot of that stupid garbage too, that aint nothin but computer effects makeing vocals sound better, or *cool*, and digital beats that make themselves.
ah i wrote alot, and im stoned so it probally dont even make sense. but yeah thats how i feel. btw, kill your local wigger.
