Why is country music so depressing




















Every time someone discusses their music taste, Country always comes up as a caveat. The most popular sounds of country usually penetrate into the mainstream as memes or gimmicks see Lil Nas X or Jason Aldean , and the Country music charts are dominated by the absolute worst the genre has to offer. One of the worst offenders in this regard is Country singer Morgan Wallen. Wallen skyrocketed to country music stardom after making it to the finals on The Voice.

His stardom has however been interrupted recently, upon the surfacing of a recording of him saying a racial slur. Shockingly, this did not interrupt his popularity. Despite his label and most radio stations dropping Wallen, his music has continued to soar in popularity, with his single continuing to sit comfortably on the Billboard Top for the fifth week in a row.

Fans from far and wide have come to defend his use of the slur and his weak apology. One of those is Orville Peck; an openly gay, and perhaps more shockingly for country, an openly Canadian singer-songwriter.

In doing so, Simpson pays tribute to the often-overlooked black musicians who played alongside and often inspired Country music. Country music fans, be warned: Research shows a link between country music and metropolitan suicide rates.

Stack and Gundlach performed a multiple regression analysis of 49 metropolitan areas and found the greater the airtime devoted to country music, the higher the suicide rate. Furthermore, Stack and Gundlach note that many of these topics have strong links to increased rates of suicidal thoughts. It is very easy to say negative things about every music genre especially if you do not listen that genre very often.

Reality , Jan 14, Ranching and lukin like this. Is it depressing to listen to? Or do you think it can lead to a person being depressed? Just curious. I am a classic rock fan myself, in particular, the British Invasion. I am also a very fussy music fan. Very few Rock bands have appealed to me from the '80s on. Of course, there are some bands from the '80s on I like, but most of my taste is 50's, 60's and 70's. I have also had mental health nurse tell me that rock music is depressing.

Maybe country musicians write about relationships going bad because it's so personal and heartbreaking for many and they are able to reach that audience, many songwriters write songs about personal experiences, I wonder if some those songs about relationships happen when the songwriter wrote about a personal experience just after it happened, then decided it would be a good song. Great thread. This ballad is a potent reminder to keep those precious minutes you do get close to your heart as they happen and to add to your collection of life's little but beautiful moments every day.
