Btw, sorry if that was too snarky. I'm grading papers and the chatgpt language is too fucking rampant. I know the answer, but still, why spend tens of thousands on a college education only to cheat and not learn anything?

Honestly? They’re there to get a piece of paper to get the next piece of paper to try and get a slightly above utter shit level shit job.

The first one yes, this one also yes but not at my school. Most of our students work full time and very few do the traditional college thing.

And sorry if that seemed smart, I’m also having one of those days. People not realising that it’s disrespectful to call a 1 hours team check in meeting and to let it run to two and half hours. That’s an important piece of work kicked down the line for a third, maybe fourth, time so people can rant and moan.

It’s probably the first country concept album. It’s very cinematic. Like @Lee Newman said it incorporates standards with originals but the whole thing feels timeless, even though it wasn’t released until 1975. The album popularized “Outlaw Country” with the mainstream. The album not only was popular with Country fans but was a crossover smash. The album charted at 28 on the Top 200 and had songs chart on the Hot 100. The story of the album behind the scenes is super interesting too.

It was Wille's THIRD concept album. ;)

Now I want to listen to some pure”outlaw music” without any of that folk or country stuff mixed in! 😉

*Edit: Didn’t know that ”outlaw music” actually was an established term (and according to Brittanica it is!) I’ve always just said outlaw country. You learn something every day I guess.

It’s a meaningless marketing term, so it doesn’t really matter.

I mean at least with outlaw you know it is gonna be somewhere on the spectrum of southern fried music. Grunge could be anything that came out from or was inspired by Seattle in the late 80s or 90s. Surfer psychedelic music - grunge, straight up Punk - grunge, straight up metal - grunge, classic rock - grunge. If Johnny Cash had put American Recordings out on Sub Pop, it would have been grunge. If Tom Jones and Tony Bennett had done a trio album with Barbara Streisand and recorded in the spinning restaurant while drinking Starbucks, it would have been grunge.

You would love the Grunge subreddit. Basically it’s just people arguing about what bands are considered grunge.

The purist basically limit it to bands from the late 80s-early 90s from the Seattle area. If someone posts something about Stone Temple Pilots a small but dedicated group will call them out and point out that they are not grunge.

Also, Alice In Chains is the greatest band that ever grunged according to that community.

I’d be downvoted to oblivion.

I always liked the term "insurgent country"
