@dba_afish: I get what you mean, but when I think of "dead" music, I think of genres that are so niche that only indie bands/artists make that kind of music. Country is more like a zombie that doesn't realize it is one and thinks things are better than ever. The music is way too similar with no variety of the instruments, like they're forced to use specific ones. Variety is the sauce, the spice everyone needs in their life (although there will be some exceptions), and the country I hear now doesn't have enough of that. I would say something about lyrics/themes, but I'm sure if someone checked my playlist, I would have that thrown right back at me. Even in my younger years, I never had a country song catch my attention in any way other than "change the station" although that somewhat changed with some music from Falout:NV. Doesn't mean I'll go out of my way to listen to them though, except for "Big Iron" if that song's considered country. If it isn't, ignore that comment.

honestly, in my opinion, country largely died with Johnny Cash. there are a few half-decent to pretty great releases since then (from memory I can really only think of Old Town Road) but country has probably been hit the hardest by the trend towards generification we see in, like, "radio music" (with modern pop not being far behind).

that being said, if it did die with Cash, it did kind of go out on a high note, with his cover of Trent Reznor's ''Hurt'' being one of the greatest songs of all fucking time.

    I was debating on bringing something like this up so there wouldn't be a 2.0 of when I was discussing music before where a lot of people, myself included got heated by the end, but I'm curious if I'm the only one thinking this. Where I work there was reruns of the same hour of country music 4 times total from the weekend. Two from the morning and two more after my lunch on Sat/Sun. One thing that really bugged me was one of the country tracks had the lyrics "country is cool again." Now I'm not sure if I just have my head in the sand, but I feel like this year, country lovers are eating good compared to other years. Even Beyonce's put her finger in the country pie (which could be a topic for another time.) I'm not the biggest fan of the yeehaw tracks myself, but even then I would be lying through my teeth saying country "died" or wasn't "cool." Years prior I still heard country at my work although not as often as I do now. Am I just biased on this or is it actually the case?

    Had an hour of jogging yesterday after a long time and now - as that GTA V quote goes - I wake up and my legs... they just give. I just can't run anymore.

    Pacing is the word, next time its better to start with smaller joggings, the human body is very lazy when you have these type of hiatus, sigh...

    what happened to fa?

    the site's URL got hijacked by a hacker on the 21st, and the twitter account got taken over not too long after

    fortunately they were able to get the site back, none of the core database got affected, and the @furaffinity handle got sniped by a fur who goes by whanos after the hacker changed it to "ilikekiwis", so everything should be back to normal now, but boy was that a hectic 48 hours we had

    you can dive deeper into the pits in this thread here:

    I've noticed them mass hide a bunch of their comments and posts in the past, like they're trying to keep their post history tidy and clear. But this round did seem to be a high number of forum posts, including a number of first posts that hid whole threads (really need to fix that issue, where hiding the first post in a thread caused the whole thread to be hidden; if it's too difficult to keep the thread visible without the first post visible, then don't allow users to hide the first post).

    Yeah some top contributors seem to be acting weird for a while now.

    damn, I actually just visited the (I guess fake?) FA an hour ago before hearing about the scam thing going...

    hope nothing bad happened just visiting it, couldn't even tell it was a fake

    Same here, I just checked it once a few hours ago after I woke up and then a friend told me about it.
