Can you help me figure out why I don't like country music?

Asked by Yellowdog (12216points) June 4th, 2017

I love folk music. I love Celtic music and art and culture I love small towns and old highways and have met a lot of interesting people. I have a penchant for nostalgia and am a conservative Christian. I even find the old South interesting. I even like horses, “grandma’s house” Appalachia, Summer camp and things like that.

But for some reason I can’t stand country music (except that which crosses over with folk music, such as John Denver, Neil Diamond, Gordon Lightfoot). Otherwise It seems intrusive, like cigarette smoke and people who talk too loud. I’d rather think of British things, the fjords of Norway, an autumn leaf in the sand of an autumnal beach.

I like my coffee from a coffee shop with a bookstore—not a Folgiers can.

I want to overcome this aversion. What are your thoughts on Country music and how can I get over this strong aversion?
