Why don't Germans like Country Music?

[Richmondbread]

Noticeable enough. It's not a sure thing, but here in the USA, most people of Germanic ancestry do not care for Country music, while those of Anglo/Celtic ancestry seem to favor it. The Scotch Irish in the mountains of VA, TN, and NC brought it to the States.

The Irish LOVE Country music- They have Irish Tenors who sing Country music, Country music festivals, etc. Country singers are even popular in the UK- especially Dolly Parton. Essentially American Country music derives from Ireland and Scotland. Listen to the old fiddle tunes and you'll see what I mean..




Mexicans seem to like Country Music- because there are actually many similarities between that and Mariachi bands...

In Germany however, they have no Country music love whatsoever. You don't find any German Country music singers. Unless you count yodelers- and even most Germans have turned their backs on that. Is it because Germans are too serious to appreciate good 'ol feet stomping Country Music? Or they just don't "get it"?

I think alot of Germans like it but its not part of our culture, no nation outside the USA likes country music like you do over there.

I like christian country music

I was simply unaware. I think maybe it's just that it seems to not fit into most Germanic nature. Except perhaps Bavaria.

It's Czechs who dislike country. Not their fault. Ivan Mládek ruined country for them.

Its a exclusive part of American culture but sure has people listenging to it all over the world.

The hymn of my favorite club is written by a german country singer.

Not all Czechs dislike country music. Michal Tučný was popular Czech siner of country music

Countrymusic is very populair in Germany but also countrylifestyle, my guess the reason could be perhaps traced by the popularity of books of Karl May.
