Americana (also known as American roots music) is an amalgam of American music formed by the confluence of the shared and varied traditions that make up the musical ethos of the United States, specifically those sounds that are emerged from the Southern United States such as folk, gospel, blues, country, jazz, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, bluegrass, and other external influences.

So the other I was scrolling Instagram and clicked on post that showed Joe Rogan backstage at a Zach Bryan show. Being a dumdum, I looked at the comments because I wanted to get some context.

Within the first few comments, a dude called Zach a dollar store imitation of Tyler Childers. Someone responded to him that Childers was good until he went ‘woke.’ I quickly showed myself out of the comments after that.

Aside from the idea of comparing the two artists being extremely ridiculous, accusing an altcountry/Americana artist of going ‘woke’ is pretty silly. A good portion of the artists are pretty progressive.

The guy did a whole album about police brutality during the Black Lives Matter movement…

I'm sure that the person complaining about him "going woke" was referring to that. Like I said, complaining about artists in this genre being progressive or liberal leaning is like complaining that water is wet.
