In class we talked about music and I personally love country music. We talked about how many people view country music as this twangy music that only talks about trains and love! That's not true!!! Country music is flexible and like any other genre has evolved with the times. They also say that its very uncool to like country music, but I say, " You're wrong guys!" and " Country Music ROCKS!!!!!"
What is considered authentic country music includes the following:
- Cowboys
- Alcohol
- Being in jail
- Cheating
- LOVE
- Trucks
- Trains <------ And those points at one time did relate to country music and what it was all about, but times have changed and so has our music.
Take Taylor Swift for example, she is one of country musics biggest stars. Not only is she a country artist; she is also a country/pop cross over! Her latest album, Speak Now, went platinum in one week after hitting shelves!! If you don't know what that means, it means that ONE MILLION Cd's were sold! If you read that and still tell me that country music is lame and weird and no one likes it well then honey you need help...
Did you know that country music radio stations make up over 50% of all radio air waves. And what radio air waves are left is split between everything else. For being a genre that they say no one likes and is uncool to like; it sure has a lot of stations if you ask me!
