Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Emo is just city country
A dirt road, a cold beer, a blue jeans, a red pickup, a rural noun a simple adjective.
No shoes, no shirt, no Jewsyou didn’t hear that.
I walk and talk like a field hand, but the boots I’m wearing cost three grand.
I write songs about riding tractors from the comfort of a private jet
Hear that subtle mandolin
Yeah that’s textbook panderin

That’s the basis for Alex Melton’s whole YouTube channel and I’m here for it.
What is grunge? Classic emo?
More like proto-Emo. We hadn’t evolved full Emo yet. We had bouts of sadness, but with more aggressive overtones and parts where we just yelled before going back to being sad and quiet again.
When I was 🎶 a farm boy 🎶 my peepaw 🎶 took me into the city 🎶 to see the farm parade 🎶
Ha_Ha very funny
Sigh… Country used to be pretty good. Now that Nashville has discovered algorithms, they just churn out formulaic shit that sounds exactly alike.
Saw a 5-minute video a couple of years back. I think it was 5 of the (then) current country songs, blended one into the other. You could not tell where one cut off and the next picked up. Sounded like 5 singer collaborating on a single song.
Had my details a bit off, but here it go:
It’s still good if you know where to look, and the country hot list ain’t it. Tyler Childers, The Steeldrivers, Colter Wall and Chris Stapleton are some of the best, just to name a few.
Did they discover algorithms in the 1990s? 'Cause it was shit then, too.

Perry sure emo is farm emo. Ever been to the country?
How to describe my high school…There was woods behind it, a peach orchard to the left of it, a cow pasture to the right of it, and a church and a corn field across the street. There were rules about keeping your guns locked in your truck if you went straight to school after deer hunting at dawn. “Town” was the nearby army base.
Plenty of goth girls lived in a single wide down a dirt road. In fact thinking back to high school, there were the occasional boots and belt buckle yeehaws among the guys, but I don’t remember a single “cuntry gurl” among 'em.
Like, you’d get girls who wore blue jeans and T shirts, with a hoodie in the winter, with that “I bleached it blonde three months ago” brown-rooted bangs and pony tail hairdo. Like the practical “rrrl grrrl” look. I’m pretty sure I was going to college out of state before I actually saw a woman actually wear a cowboy hat for real, like not as part of a costume.
Right. I spent many nights driving 40 mins out on the gravel road portion of the drive to places where a farm seemed like civilization. From my experience there are few places Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy, etc. was played louder.
With a light dusting of racism.
Country has a heavy dose
It’s R&B for people that hate black people
Racist&Banjo
Also… white man’s hip hop
There is such a thing as country influenced hip hop. Gangstagrass comes immediately to mind as a band doing that that I quite like.
