You called the audience "provincial," and having grown up in a rural area, I know very well what non rural folks mean by that. Uneducated, unsophisticated, dull.
But as for country, I would say that all pop music is built around conventions. We're talking billboard charts, not college radio.

I wonder if you have any similarly condescending comments about the audience for R&B artist Xania Monet?

You mean for Japanese stuff?
Yeah, I can see that is a problem. But man. The HBO stuff alone is worth it. True Detective and all.

"If American raku is so different, how did we come to call it raku? It was probably a mistake. A mistake to which I must confess my part, even though it actually happened without my knowledge."
No, no probably about it.

Like, I can sort of understand that they'd not get some kind of sensitivity vetting for a Japanese motor show, but they had a ton of English language coverage and no one has mentioned how terrible that name is for SO MANY REASONS?
