#don't get me started about how the current country aesthetic is roided dudes with lifted trucks

there's a lot about modern country aesthetics that are weird to me.

was watching a guitar technique video and it struck me that the style of the current Fender corporation is "totally decontextualized Country"

this is the Country Minimalism fast-fashion denim, beige couch, a blank gray wall trying to look like concrete, an amp that's literally a blank black box, worn boots that have never touched a pasture

#i've heard it said many times that rise of american country music coincided with more people starting to live in cities than in the country #and there's something about how Country longs for the land again that people couldn't even afford to own #and that hadn't even been theirs for more than a generation #that they stole and then couldn't survive on it because of individualism #the same individualism that is celebrated in the myths of Country music #I look around at my country and cant believe how out of our minds me we are and then I remember our history #at least country music sounds nice #fun fact from another video is that shiny country outfits were to make sure people could see you from the back in smoke-filled bars #my blog #don't get me started about how the current country aesthetic is roided dudes with lifted trucks #country music #fender
