Well maybe you don’t understand country music
I've pretty much alluded to that yes, hence why I said I can't relate to it at all. I'm not American, I don't live in the south, I don't work a blue collard job, I don't drink beer as a passtime, I'm not perpetually sad hanging out with an acoustic guitar, I don't ride horses, I don't wear cowboy hats. I do drive a pickup, so that is one thing in the country column. There just isn't much there for me lyrically either.
Folk music I find more skillful, better instrumentalist and usually more on brand for what I like lyrics wise, so I can relate a bit more
