Country music's lyrics for the most part make me angry. I get the same feeling like when I see clips of Fox News. Either that or it makes me embarrassed to be American. "This is how we do it in 'Murica, big trucks, drank beer, shoot animals, drive tractors..." I mean there's a song called "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy." And this was a hit! My rule in my shop in the Navy was that each squad of sailors rotated control of the radio. It pretty much alternated between country, rap, and mariachi music.
Which sort of speaks to the OP's point. People sort of fit in their niches, but the cool thing in life is to make your own niche. I feel sorry for those people that try so hard to fit what everyone else thinks they should be. I do the things I like, hang out with the people I like, and the people that don't want to hang out with me because I don't fit their mold can go fuck themselves. I feel like atheists can all relate to this in some way.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
