re: Where does the backlash against "bro country" come from?

It appeals to rednecks that just jump in the ol' truck and turn on the radio and wanna hear music about the redneck shite they like to do... and celebrate it..

I'd imagine the great percentage of those people dont care about music enough to discuss it on message boards, thats probably while you wont find a great deal of support for it here...

edit: And its offensive for these bro's to claim Merle, Willie and Waylon as influences, when they have nothing in common except being under the grand umbrella of "country" music...
