Why do many people like folk music and hate country music?

Country music is a Western term and is not produced in China. This name appeared in the United States in the 1920s and has a wide origin. The contents of the songs at that time included, in addition to expressing working life, aversion to the lonely wandering life, longing for a warm and peaceful home, singing about sweet love and the pain of lovelorn, etc. In terms of singing method, folk native voices were mostly used at first, and the form was mostly solo or small chorus, accompanied by guitar, banjo, harmonica, and violin. The tunes of country music are generally smooth and beautiful, and the structure of the music is relatively simple. Most of them are ballad, two-part or three-part form. The clothing is also relatively casual. Even if you are participating in competitions and important concert hall performances, you do not need to wear performance clothes. Jeans, casual clothes, fur hats, and travel shoes are all acceptable. The two most important components of country music are string accompaniment (usually a guitar or electric guitar, often with a Hawaiian guitar and fiddle) and the singer's voice.
