I had a European friend complain that Americans are so egocentric that they call their music "Country Music." He was also mad we put mayonaise on a pasta and call it a salad.

[-] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 53 points 5 months ago

I am also mad about the second part.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

If you want rage, Midwesterners put marshmallows in pistachio pudding and call it salad.

[-] chknbwl@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Green Fluff is just a derivative of Ambrosia, which is very much a Southern-States creation. We Midwesterners simply made it better. /j

Jokes aside, my grandmother used to make her own homemade cherry ambrosia. That recipe is lost with Dementia (she never wrote it down either, heh) so I'll probably never have Pink Fluff that good again. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

What did you eat today?

Oh just some salad

The salad

[-] Ranvier@sopuli.xyz 16 points 5 months ago

Do they not use the word country as a synonym for rural? I checked the Cambridge dictionary, it's their second definition listed, even higher than where that definition is listed in Merriam Webster. It's like complaining rock music is made with guitars instead of boulders. Does he also think that country is like the only genre of music made in America? Though some country singers do like to put a lot of nationalism in their music which does kind of confuse things.

I'm a firm mayo by itself as a sauce hater though so I'm with him there. Even more abominable are the jello (or jelly for those in the UK) "salads." It's not a salad!

But Germans have litterally every kind of salad.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 17 points 5 months ago

Germans will literally put mayonnaise on sliced sausage and call that a salad.

[-] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

TWO salads*

Keep in mind that Fleischsalat is different from Wurstsalat. The main difference is that Fleischsalat is made with mayo to be creamy while Wurstsalat is made with a simple vinaigrette as the dressing.

So Chris Hatfield is the only musician you like?

Space oddity from the ISS.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

No. There's also "The Rocky Picture Horror Show", starring esteemed Tony Award nominated actor Tim Curry.

I like musical theater.

Look closely at the map: the water is in the country labeled Atlantic Ocean.

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 33 points 5 months ago

Pirate sea shanties are booming

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 23 points 5 months ago

International waters. Like that DethKlok album recorded onto pure water.

Okay. I hate any music that references all of the following pandering terms: trucks, boots, whiskey, blue jeans, dirt, drinkin', beer, and. "back roads".

If you removed the lyrics from almost every modern US "Country" song, they wouldn't be so bad, by holy shit...it's like you can't have a country song without whiskey and blue jeans sung in an overdone Kentucky or Mid-Western accent. It's essentially fan service for country boys and girls. Half of those singers haven't touched so much as a rake in their entire lives and for some reason people make this genre their entire fucking identity.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Stadium country is garbage. Dark country and folk music actually does interesting things with those terms.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Folk makes you feel things. Mostly rage at the capital holding class, but that’s a thing you can feel

[-] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

Folk makes you feel things. Mostly rage at the capital holding class, but that’s a thing you ~~can~~ should feel.

anarchist music doesn't recognize the concept of a nation-state as valid

Somebody should make a map with most hated music genre/artist per country.

[-] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

The other 2 thirds of the Earth's surface, obviously. As the greatest song in history says: "...We got no troubles - Life is the bubbles - Under the sea..."

This is a good indication that I need to go to bed. It took me like a minute and a half to actually get it.

Antarctica, international waters, and space. Some people argue whether it should be made in rojava or Zapatista held territory

Antarctica is technically not a country

I remember the first time, as an American, that I found out that country music was huge in Australia. That was a mindfuck moment.

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

there's country music fans everywhere. especially Dolly Parton.
