【音乐疯】【乡村】TOC发文：究竟什么是Bro-Country？？！！

For the most part, when people utter the term “bro-country” they’re spitting it out like bad milk. Like so many umbrella words, the definition is overwhelmed by the connotation. In that way, you can compare bro-country to socialism and Macklemore – concepts that when strictly defined aren’t too bad, but because they’re now associated with other ideas (communism and a bad haircut), you’ll be nearly stoned for celebrating.
在大多数情况下,当人们彻底的术语“bro-country”他们吐出来像坏牛奶。像很多伞的话,被定义的内涵。那样,你可以比较bro-country社会主义和Macklemore——概念,当严格定义不太坏,但是现在因为他们与其他想法(共产主义和一个糟糕的发型),你会为庆祝近用石头打死。

New York Magazine writer Jody Rosen invented and defined the term “bro-country” on August 19, 2013. But that definition (which we’ll get to) becomes problematic as you read his entire article.
Rosen mostly takes aim at Florida Georgia Line and their mega hit ‘Cruise.’ “The top country hit of all time may, in fact, be the most generic song you’ve ever heard,” he writes in a clever article that makes many valid points. As for his definition of “bro-country”?
Bro-Country: “Music by and of the tatted, gym-toned, party-hearty young American white dude.”
《纽约》杂志作家杨晨罗森发明并定义术语“bro-country”8月19日,2013年。但这个定义(我们会)就会有问题,当你阅读整篇文章。
Rosen大多需要瞄准佛罗里达格鲁吉亚线和大型冲击的巡航。“最高国家打击的可能,事实上,是最通用的歌你听过,“他聪明的一篇文章中写道,让许多有效的点。至于他的定义“bro-country”?
Bro-Country:“音乐的答,健美,party-hearty年轻的美国白人家伙。”

"Like kudzu or the Asian carp, there’s no solution for eradicating the word. It keeps adapting to stay alive."

Wait, what? No trucks? No tailgates? No objectification of women? No denim or bottle of something strong under the seat? No open field at the end of the dirt road?
Rosen points out that ‘Cruise’ (and other FGL songs) includes many of these listed tropes, but stops short of calling any of them necessary for a bro-country song. Thirteen months later, these five tenants are absolutely associated with bro-country. So what the heck happened?
等等,什么?没有卡车?没有紧紧地?没有客观化的女性?没有牛仔或一瓶东西强下座位吗?没有田野的尽头土路?
Rosen指出,“巡航”(和其他酒业歌曲)包括许多这些上市而已,但并没不调用任何必要bro-country歌。13个月之后,这五个租户绝对与bro-country有关。那么到底发生了什么?

没看懂

In three-and-a-half minutes, Smith connected clips of artists singing about trucks, dirt roads, hotties in trucks etc … to argue this was what every song released the previous calendar year was about. A deeper look into the songs that made a difference in 2013 reveals that Smith knows as much about country music as Tyler Farr does about vacuums. His characterization is as fair as saying all women are emotional or all New Yorkers are rude.
三个半分钟,史密斯连接片段的艺术家唱关于卡车,土路,芳心卡车等发布的认为这是每首歌…前面的日历年度。深入了解一个歌曲2013年差异表明,史密斯知道尽可能多的关于乡村音乐泰勒Farr对真空吸尘器。他描述说所有女人一样公平的情感或所有纽约人都是粗鲁的。

But the video went viral, and because it was in the shadow of Rosen’s article, it further put a face on (or perhaps changed the face of) bro-country. The idea of what the problem was — and there was a problem — shifted.
但是视频传开,因为它是在罗森的阴影下的文章,进一步把脸放在bro-country(或者改变了)。的问题是什么,有一个问题发生了变化。

Finally, Maddie and Tae are responsible for Version 4.0 of the bro-country definition. ‘Girl in a Country Song’ objects to the objectification of women in country music. That’s a trend that goes back decades, but the modern male has turned up the volume. The duo is right in saying that women are often portrayed as being only good for “looking good for you and your friends on the weekend” in today’s most popular hits, but the slight isn’t reserved for bro-country songs, and it’s hardly a new idea. They prove that point by mentioning Chris Young‘s ‘Aw Naw’ and Blake Shelton‘s ‘Boys ‘Round Here.’
最后,玛迪和跆拳道负责bro-country定义的版本4.0。女孩在一首乡村歌曲的对象在乡村音乐的物化女性。这是一个趋势,可以追溯到几十年,但现代男性音量放大。两人就在说,女性通常被描绘成是唯一好“寻找好为你和你的朋友在周末”在今天最受欢迎的热门,但轻微不留给bro-country歌曲,它并不是一个新想法。他们证明点提及克里斯·布莱克杨氏Aw算了,谢尔顿的“男孩”在这儿。

"The duo is right in saying that women are often portrayed as being only good for “looking good for you and your friends on the weekend” in today’s most popular hits, but the slight isn’t reserved for bro-country songs, and it’s hardly a new trend."

But it’s all in good fun, right? We’ll find out soon enough. So, what is “bro-country”? Like kudzu or the Asian carp, there’s no solution for eradicating the word. It keeps adapting to stay alive.
Taste of Country staff recently worked to define bro-country and settled on songs that include trucks, some small amount of objectification of women, a clearing at the end of the road where physical affection will take place and some amount of strong alcohol (that one is crucial). We’re not anti-bro-country like so many — in fact, we’re big fans of a lot of the songs that get stuck with the unfortunate label.
但这都是在很有趣,对吗?我们很快就会发现。那么,什么是“bro-country”?像野葛或亚洲鲤鱼,根除这个词没有解决方案。它使适应生存。
最近的国家工作人员工作定义bro-country和选定了歌曲,包括卡车,一些少量的客观化的女性,一块空地在路的尽头物理情感将和一些烈酒(一)是至关重要的。我们不是anti-bro-country一样——事实上,我们的忠实粉丝很多的歌曲与不幸被困的标签。

Interestingly, during our mini “Bro-Country Summit,” we never settled on a list of bro-country artists — only songs.
Rosen’s definition does the opposite. Aside from Florida Georgia Line’s catalog, he doesn’t specifically label too much else as bro-country. Bryan, he says, is “king” of bro-country, even though at 38 years old he’s not young, nor is he tatted or gym-toned. Neither is Jason Aldean. He awkwardly lumps Zac Brown into the conversation as well, but defends Jake Owen to some extent.
有趣的是,在我们的迷你“Bro-Country峰会”,我们从来没有在Bro-Country艺术家——只有歌曲的列表。
罗森的定义相反。除了佛罗里达州格鲁吉亚线的目录,他并不特别标签太多其他bro-country。布莱恩,他说,是“王”bro-country,即使在38岁的他不年轻,他也不答或健美。Jason Aldean也是如此。他笨拙地肿块扎克布朗交谈,但维护杰克欧文在某种程度上。

But people do, which goes back to the point of how we use the term “bro-country.” The names of nasty ex-lovers are uttered with more compassion. Trucks, tailgates, dirt roads — artists, tatted or not … none of these themes really matter, because in the end, the true definition seems to be “anything sung by a country male that I don’t like.”
但人又回到了我们如何使用术语“bro-country点。“讨厌的前女友的名字发出更多的同情。卡车,紧紧地,土路,艺术家,答不…这些主题真的重要,因为到最后,真正的定义似乎唱的“任何一个国家的男性,我不喜欢。”
