Thanks for the link Katherine, very interesting, I can see what it is now, its a kind of country music? It is a sound I would associate with the Southern USA, I have to be honest with you its not really my cup of tea.
It's music with roots in the UK but which developed into this distinctive style in the Appalachians and other rural areas of the US.
To each his own. And to clarify, I don't sit around and listen to this for hours - to me it's sort of like Jimi Hendrix or Aerosmith - great in small doses but a bit much for background music!
Ive heard Ironhorse , think they perform covers of Metallica that to exclusively.
Whenever i think of bluegrass and country , i feel it was invented by arm chaired amateurs with their chairs mostly located in rural USA
When I think of Metallica or Ironhorse, I feel they were invented by prepubescent boys and that their guitars are phallic symbols and the word "overcompensation" springs immediately to my mind.
I guess many "Black" stereotypes refer to people with West African (either Christian or Pagan) background and most "White" stereotypes refer to people with Western/Northern European background. Somalians, Ethiopians and Muslim Sahel people don't fit into the "Black" category as African-Americans or Ghanaians do and Sicilians, Russians, Greeks or Romanians don't fit into the "White" category as White Americans, Germans or British people do. Most Southern Europeans don't love animals as much as the English or Germans do, most Ethiopians aren't into dancing or eating chicken etc. as the West Africans (and their descendants) supposedly are. And Italians or Greeks definitely are better dancers on average than us Germans.

This association with black people and chicken is very inaccurate EVERYBODY around the world seem to "love" chicken in one form or another.

I wouldn't even know about that stereotype without all those American comedy shows Doesn't even make sense to most Austrians since a variety of fried chicken is considered to be one of our national dishes...

You see the world has love affair with the humble Jungle fowl. Every culture seem to have its own favourite Chicken dish.
