    Modern country is all just aesthetic appeals that's sold to suburbanites so they don't feel like the soft yuppies that they absolutely are.

        I'm just like my daddy. He drove an old Chevy pickup that he'd hand wash once a month or so; I drive a lifted Z71 that I take thru the car sprayer weekly despite rarely leaving pavement.

        I'm just like my daddy. He was a mechanic by day and tended the farm on evenings and weekends; I'm a financial analyst for Accenture by day and have 5 acres outside the city that I "plan to retire on."

        I'm just like my daddy. He had a few guns for getting game and keeping coyotes and hogs at bay; I have six slightly different AR15s with a thousand dollars of accessories each.

        Yeah I actually grew up in the country and when I discovered this fact about suburbanites in my teenage and especially college years, that was quite a shock and I have feelings about it. Not that coming from the country is particularly special or worth like defending or whatever, but encountering these posers just very intensely does not spark joy.
