Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
What if Beyonce is just working to infiltrate Country Music as well?
I’m not taking up for Beyonce but she is from Texas and most likely was influenced by Texas style country music which is much better than mainstream country music. I actually liked her music when she first came out but don’t listen to her because of what she represents.
Country music was infiltrated at least a decade ago. It’s just gotten worse in the past several years. I have watched the country awards show since I was a child in the 70s. The past two years I’ve boycotted it. The industry has sold its soul. It’s very political and they can’t have an awards show without bringing in pop and wrap artists to sing with country artists.
I still listen to what I call I call country music. It’s more like the original country music. Most artists I listen to aren’t on the radio. It’s under the genre called Americana, singer songwriters.
Country music has became a branch of rap. Now, there's some dudes who cook with that recipe and they make beautiful art but it also means theres a shitload of hollow, meaningless, sellout music being made too and all those things describe her,, she'll fit right in lol
There is still beautiful music here and there on the internet. It's definitely time for a comeback and I think if musicians play beautiful music at their gigs and nightclubs etc, they will become very popular.
