Maybe folk would be more accurate, but it'd also be less funny

    There are two types of country artists. One will help you hide a body and run from the cops. The other will call you a slur.

    After 9/11, Country turned from “we are working people” to “My Dad’s an oil tycoon and I love the US”.

      that was around the same time local radio collapsed and I heart radio and other conglomerates took over. not long after media ownership rules changed. I don’t think it was the artists who changed.

    The girl’s musicians are folk, not country. That’s kind of the main purpose of the distinction.

    Johnny Cash not being on the right side of this meme should be criminal.

    Well, you wonder why
    I always dress in black
    Why you never see
    Bright colors on my back
    And why does my appearance
    Seem to have a somber tone?
    Well, there’s a reason for the things
    That I have on

    I wear the black
    For the poor and the beaten down
    Livin’ in the hopeless
    Hungry side of town
    I wear it for the prisoner
    Who has long paid for his crime
    But is there because
    He’s a victim of the times
