In the reading “The Brown Girl’s Guide to Labels” by Mathangi Subramanian, the author talks about the obstacles she faced growing up as a minority and the different lives her white friends lived compared to her. Growing up as a minority myself, I can relate to some of the experiences Subramanian had. One thing that really caught my attention was how Subramanian never viewed herself as a feminist because “only white girls call themselves that”. I also had a problem with this and never really viewed myself as a feminist until this class. I found it extremely interesting that the author never truly labeled herself a feminist even after her mother declared herself as one until she read an article written by Chandra Mohanty,

In recent years, a resurgence of idealistic, stereotypical gender-specific roles have cropped up in country songs, creating a subgenre labelled “bro-country.” Jody Rosen of the New York Times first coined the term “bro-country” in order to describe songs that use lyrical tools glorifying prevailing, hegemonic gender roles present in culture. Songs such as Tim McGraw’s “How I’ll Always Be,” Luke Bryan’s “Huntin’, Fishin’, Lovin’, Every Day,” Sam Hunt’s “Make you Miss Me,” and Dierks Bently’s “Different for Girls” use the lyrical discourse, under the lens of “bro-country”, to highlight dominant, male gender-specific roles, while simultaneously reinforcing prominent, often negative, views of women.

Most artist have followed the lead of this and are writing more and more songs about these issues to stay with the trends, as many people enjoy this twist because it is coming with incorporations of other styles of music.
