99% of the population just want a catchy tune with some catchy lyrics.
I grew up with rock and to this day really can't listen to old country. I just cannot get past the "Hee Haw" sound - it's very disturbing. Newer country has gone more mainstream and I'd rather my kids listen to it than rap. My 11 yr son is into rock (AC-DC, Smashing Pumpkins, etc...) and my 9 yr daughter is all country.
