Everyone has their different music genre's of choice. Whether it be rap, hip-hop, pop,\ or country, many people enjoy different things. Although some people may strongly dislike country music, the genre has become extremely widespread over time. Whether it be a more rock n' roll type of country music by Johnny Cash or a more pop type of country music by Taylor Swift, the genre of country music attracts a wide variety of listeners, and for good reason. Country music has so many awesome qualities and so many different songs, which makes it hard not to be appealing.
Country music is honest.
One of the greatest things about country music is its authenticity. Many songs outline honest stories and experiences. So many people are enthralled by country music because we all look for genuineness in life. So often, life throws lies and dishonesty at us. Country music is a way for people alike to step back and listen to genuine experiences and people that aren't afraid to share the truth and their emotions.
Country music tells a story.
Although many songs in different genre's tell stories, I think that country music does it the best. Whether it be Carrie Underwood's, "Jesus Take The Wheel" about how she was driving to visit her parents for Christmas and her car went out of control on a snowy night, or Luke Bryan's "Play It Again" about how he starts to fall in love with a girl to her favorite song, country music artists aren't afraid to make themselves vulnerable. The vulnerability in country music is what makes it so touching and with each song, listeners strive to catch every word of the story.
Country music can be sad and emotional.
Sometimes, we all just need our good dose of sadness. Whether you're going through a break-up, lost a loved one or just had a bad day, sometimes music is the cure. Country music is so touching and sensitive that it is easily relatable and can help people in their time of need.
Country music can be upbeat and happy.
Whenever you just need a feel good or happy kind of song, country music has got your back. It can make you smile, imagine, love and dream.
Ultimately, there's almost nothing that country music doesn't have. The stories that the songs tell can be touching and beautiful, and the happiness that other songs portray can immediately put you in a good mood. There are songs about faith, songs about love and songs about hunting. Whatever it may be, country music has it all.
