It's that loping, formulaic beat of "country" that grates on my nerves (especially when thumping through the wall from the master bedroom), so of course it doesn't apply to bluegrass etc. When people don't like country, it's usually--you know--bubblegum country. There had to be a movie for some real music from the country to circumvent the ClearChanneled country-pop world. They show people there's more to country than Garth Brooks and kin and the soundtrack gets bought up in droves--but they still don't call it country, because that's reserved for bubblegum country pop. Everyone understands that genre like that.
That or, between trying to fit into such social circles and growing up here in Tennessee, I'm just confused.
