I definitely went through a period where I liked some of that music, but I can't stand to listen to any of it now. Probably the fastest 180 I've ever had towards an entire genre of music.
Fascist banjoists are fucking weird to me. There's a complicated, racist history to this black instrument that it's a shock someone can harbor such attitudes.
I mean I always knew they weren't actually from the American countryside and it was just a costume. I always knew it was, but I did have the illusion ruined by someone else in school tho
Nah, I mean it was shocking for me cuz 1) I thought southern accent was foggerty accent, 2) isn't it weird that a folk/rock band would play SO many songs from so far away? Like, if California was still redneck country in that time, why don't sing about California?
I did not know that, but I feel relieved to have critiqued their music years ago when someone played it. Felt like they would be open to right wing, rightist popular, national focused content with some sprinkles of misogyny.
Fun fact - the producer of the new Depeche Mode album said this in an interview a couple of months ago:
“Well, the one I wish I’d never done was that fucking Mumford record [2015’s ‘Wilder Mind’]! [...] “I don’t know why I did that. It paid for my house but it’s the record I regret doing.”
Now im unironically curious. Could you. Or someone else link some of the music you all are talking about ? Because I have no idea what it would sound like.

I used to like Mumford and Sons songs until I found out they were British. Was like finding out Santa isn't real.

Mate, I'm still trying to process learning Creedence Clearwater were from C*lifornia
Northern Cali has plenty of legitimate hick spots, forgivable
No it doesn't:
"Born on the Bayou", "Cotton fields", "Green River", etc. All those songs cosplaying as southerners for what???
They sound great but why the fuck would you pretend to be from 2000 km away
Okay true
