I've seen a lot of people claim this. Do you agree with it? Explain why yes or no.

Yes, as it is trash.

Definitely, trash genre.

yes tbh..

Let's go with how classically trained actual musicians see it:

Classical>jazz>blues>rock>pop>country=r&b>>>>>>>>> >>dance>>>>hiphop>>>>rap

yes, useless trash

Yes, it's garbage

Not at all. Country music probably has better songwriting than any other genre honestly.

Country music = storytelling (if it's good country music which does exist)

Yes, every song literally sounds the same... so basic

It used to be, but now that Rihanna and Kanye West are Beatles-approved authentic country artists I think it's on its way back up.

No..?? Lol but good luck with the answers you're gonna get on a "pop" forum.

Oh and why: each genre has their duds and gems, no genre in the bigger picture is inferior to another.

No, wouldn't that be any music that consists of electronic music? And by electronic music, I don't mean electronic dance music, I mean music that's been produced using electronics. Country is a genre that would be considered "real music".

I too am a fan of music that's been produced by a computer, but I respect man-made music much more. It's not so lazy.

Not "real music" The real music argument makes no sense. What makes any music more real than any other music? You can't just press a button and have a song.

I think he was going for the argument of having real instruments be played than rather just created by "pressing buttons". If not, then correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry to double quote but I want to respond to the second part. Electronic music is not inherently lazy. It takes lots of time to craft an electronic song, composition has to be very different. Of course some electronic music is lazy but so is some music with "real" instruments. For instance, Stay is mostly just a piano, a "real" instrument, but its arrangement I'd incredibly lazy.

no.

3.5 of the best albums of all time are country masterpieces by Goddess Swift.

No. It's one of the few genres that take pride in people who can actually sing and play instruments.

No. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" > anything by the pop girls.

But that's what I'm saying, what makes an instrument real? Saying something like "A human has to be playing it" is too vague, humans still create and often play the electronic music you hear. If you DJ you are playing the instrument in a sense, making the songs transition into one another.
