One genre objectifies women:

So what music industry isn't producing smut?
Country music doesn't produce vulgar music.

Neither does the pop industry, that I'm aware of.
"save a horse, ride a cowboy" isn't smut?
"why don't we get drunk and screw" isn't smut?

and pop music has been about nothing but sex for 20 years
There's nothing vulgar about "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy", in my opinion.

The other one is a Jimmy Buffet song. I don't personally consider him to be "country".

Sure. I'm down with that.

I'm just saying why I don't like it, personally.

As for the "smut" country music that's being hinted at here......... there's nothing illegal or violent about a woman's behind (badonkadonk). There's nothing illegal or violent about "riding a cowboy".

Rape, shooting cops, gang violence, prostitution........ different story entirely.

you need to look up the definition of the word vulgar.

...but not all of rap is like that...maybe one or two sub-genres of rap is like that.

...i don't see why you have to alienate the whole genre because of those reasons...it's like saying you don't like ice cream because you don't like chocolate ice cream.

...if you don't care for the style of music, that is one thing...but to not like it because of mis-information is kinda ignorant.

"I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" is legal and not violent?

No one is saying you should or shouldn't like a genre because of aesthetics, but to brand one as "vulgar" and ignore the vulgarity in another... that's really unfair and ignorant.
