Almost every theory applied
to my popular culture topic in some way. The theories that applied to my topic
the most were stereotypes and rituals. Country music is filled with stereotypes
from non country lovers and filled with rituals from past country artists. I thoroughly
enjoyed learning about these theories and learning about how they applied to
country music since I have been a country music fan all of my life. It was very
interesting looking into the history of country music when studying up on the
rituals. I loved learning about the Grand Ole Opry and former country stars
from when my grandparents listened.
I also loved listening to the stereotypes that people put
on country music stars. Some of them are really true, but most were simply
because of certain songs that people sing. Another topic that was very
educational was how much country music bridges the gap between the older
generation and today’s generation. The current and former stars do a great job
of still incorporating each other into things going on in country music today.
That is something that I found to be rare when compared to other genres of
music.
