Isn't it kind of funny that only country music has the songs about America.  They have all the songs about 9/11 and killing Osama and Sadam Hussain, yet do you ever hear a rock or rap song about 9/11? No.  Your thoughts

I've heard many songs talk about their country that aren't country music. The thing is that country music does it most. Thus the name.


I don't think I have ever face palmed so hard in my life.  Country music is not called country music because they have a few songs about the country.  Lol.

Linkin Park and Green Day and Pink made songs about 9/11 and America representatives. Okay, so they didn't really support it as much as country songs do, but that's what they were about.
Those kinda critisize America, country is all about putting a boot up Osama's ass

You're right, there are a couple, but listen to country music for an hour, and if you haven't killed yourself yet, you'll realize how many country has

Ftr sick sense is NOT patriotic, just very political.
I consider patriotic music to be less than productive.

My Chemical Romance's first song was about 9/11.

No if anything rock people sing about whats wrong with America. For example System of a down, Manson, ect. Frankly I think saying hey there's something wrong with this country is more patriotic then just saying how great it is.
rap music does that too
