One thing I can’t stand about people is the constant drive to be as ingenuine as possible. One thing I have found from going to live Country music shows, is that despite never living a day in the life these people will dress up in cowboy hats and boots they bought that same week and won’t touch them again until the next event. The last show I went to was Tyler Childers in Tampa just this June, and while it was a great performance, there were so many fakes about.

I must’ve counted 3 or 4 men with their cowboy hats on unknowingly backwards. For the most part it seems like it’s the younger women who use this as excuse to wear the skimpiest “country” apparel they could find on Pinterest or they try to look like their favorite homesteading social media influencers. Please for the love of God stop. You claim to have a set of beliefs and yet you go out and wear shit that completely contradicts said beliefs.

The middle aged people that were there didn’t seem to try, which was cool. They were there for the show and not to show themselves.
