How did country music affect other types of music?

Answer 1

Country Music can have an influence on society in a similar way that society tends to have an influence on country music. The lyrics of the songs could influence people to do things such as what type of car to drive or how to live their life.

Answer 2

Most people can identify with country music as part of everyday life. Family, love, finding love, losing love, drinking, cheating, hurting, happiness, and God and country just to name a few.

I guess one example you might accept is when in 1975, Loretta Lynn recorded her hit, "The Pill." About a wife who was always having children, while her husband would go out and party and see other women. Birth Control was a big issue in the 1970's, and divided the country. Many country radio stations banned the song from airplay, because it was considered too hot of a subject.

But, preachers would speak against it on Sunday, and the Church Members would go out and buy the record on Monday, just to see what all of the fuss was about. The song was a big money maker, a hit on the charts. But, most of all the majority of women supported Loretta.
