Why does Norway love Country music so much? I thought it was an American only thing

I think it may be Americans in Norway. After all, they're your buttservants in NATO which means a lot of them will be living there. And as far as I know, such music is popular with those in the military.

Am I the only one who can't enjoy country music unless it's melancholy? Like I can't enjoy Toby Keith because he's upbeat. Like give me something, your dog died, your wife left, your kids are starving, you broke both your arms and the toilet is clogged, SOMETHING.

Honestly, it's probably because Country music may be looked at as one of the more "exotic" aspects of American culture. It's very uniquely American, yet it never took the world by storm like rock n' roll, jazz, or hip hop did, but it's still a very rich and vibrant genre of music, even if most of it sucks (imo). It's the same principle as weaboos, basically.

>>9683771 Obviously it stands for the Confederate States Army. Sarcasm aside, I personally wear it because I tend to like music/food/etc associated with the Southern US, and it is hilarious when once in a while an afro american tourist gets all butthurt about it, forgetting he is in fact in Europe, then promptly gets put in his place. Also, it's one of the sexiest flags around.

Country isn't exclusively american. It's been americanized a lot, but the basic formula for country originated from Irish folk music. So any other country can have "country" music, just not as nationalistic as ours.

Dude's a genius. Australia's got a pretty good scene too. >>9684343 He's a fucking douche and is worse for country music than shit like Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts. Regardless, I think it's pretty neat (and hilarious) that any other countries would bother being interested in it at all, even if it's shit like Luke Bryan. I'd love to randomly run into some of these people here and party with them at our local honky tonk. The Texas / Red Dirt music scene is fun as hell I bet they'd dig it.

>>9683038 oh come on now, it's not just white trash but I think the older generation is partly responsible for these high country music numbers. It's popular in Norway because we have a lot of farmers and people who live on the country side, and people in their 40s and older love it.

>>9692128 also, I think one of the reasons why older generations like country music is that it was played more in the past when they were young and we didn't have a lot of radio channels and musical import like we have today, so everyone got introduced to country music
