TBF, country music hasn't been country music for a quite a while now

Southern pop sounded bad, but somehow this easily sounds worse 😳

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Okay, I'm taking that. It's mine now. It's beautiful.

Hey, if you're in the USSA, that shit's been blasting in your ears for years, decades even. The only "star" ever created by a vocal talent show was Carrie Underwood,

It's the american equivalent to Kpop? The thought is putting funny images in my head.

What do they drink now? Since their precious Bud Light gave way to WOKENESS.

[–] CoffeeJunkie 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Typically other beers that happen to be owned by AB-InBev. That or Coors.

Coors was among the first companies to extend benefits to same-sex partners and was named the Corporation of the Year by the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, despite being a right wing company in general.

Didn't know that, I was just commenting on what the unhomed Bud Light drinkers drink now. I don't drink any of that shit because it's not good beer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They’re still pretty right wing afaik, but it shows what concerted action between employees and the community can do.

[–] jaybone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For a shitty macrobrew, coors is ok. Like if I have to order one of the big three.

I go Yuengling. Best of ALL. It's not available in my home state, but they said a year or two ago that they were partnering with IIRC Miller-Coors, got a deal to brew their beer using M-C facilities. And they'd service almost every state. Still waiting for that day. 😔

[–] jaybone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, we don’t get that out west :(

Good, I spent several years in PA, it is cheap piss water, that had good marketing...

Why do I find that so amusing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nonalcoholic Stella's are the best roadtrip beer!

Heh drinking Wife Beater pretty apt

There's lots of good old fashioned country out there. You just gotta leave the mainstream behind. You'll find men in touch with their emotions. You'll find women who won't settle down. You'll find fine American classics. You'll find new classics waiting to be known. And Mckain Lakey!

The country music community may be problematic, but country music itself is wonderful. And many country musicians are fantastic, unexpected people. If you want country like it used to be, dive into Melissa Carper's catalogue. She's the master of the brand new old time song.
