@geoffduncan @moira Just say “new york is in new England” this makes people from here irrationally angry and although I’ve lived here most of my life as someone from the midwest I don’t think I’ll ever understand why. (it is very funny though… be subtle about it eg “New York, Hartford and other new england cities”)

@futurebird They did cover Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", which is *kinda* country-ish.(Funny story from a Grateful Dead chat on AOL back in the early 90's: Leaving a concert during the encore (Knockin'), someone heard some kids behind him remark, "oh, they're playing a Guns & Roses song!")

@futurebird @geoffduncan @moira I used to hear that City Island (Bronx) was New England by New Yorkers even back in the day when the landfill near the bridge was active and very aromatic. It was probably due to the small town feel and the large number of small boats.

@futurebird This is particularly funny to me because somehow growing up in NE Ohio, I was of the opinion that we were, if not exactly New England, “almost New England”. I have no idea if that’s a quirk I somehow got from my parents or a common belief at the time. But if we were “almost”, surely more east and equally north would be “actually”? 🙃I was so weirded out later when people said I was from the Midwest, which I thought of as far more west. @geoffduncan @moira

@futurebird @mfennvt so basically code for "oldies", but I think that's an established genre so they have to keep coming up for new names for "music from 20+ years ago" and maybe they aren't sticking, so the youth is coming up with their own names.

@futurebird GnR's sophomore release, Lies, was acoustic and sounded pretty countrified. A middle schooler may have only ever heard that one.Just a thought.

@futurebird @mfennvt and then you made them listen to the Johnny Cash cover of NIN, and now they want more country music?

@futurebird @apLundell @geoffduncan @moira I grew up outside of Philly and I think it's safe to say North Jersey is New England.South Jersey is Tennessee.

@futurebird @geoffduncan @moira New England ends at the Hudson River. The Adirondacks can go either way.

@futurebird @alice Does proximity to water cancel it out, or are the Beach Boys country as well?

@futurebird But… Look—I'm from Texas and love to use that as a basis to joke about the rest of the country being less important—but… like 90% of the US is west of NYC? Is midwest Emo also country?? Is a punk band from Jersey also country???Wild.

@futurebird I’m actually curious: did they just mean “white people music”? or maybe more specifically what they think of as “poor white people music”?Is Insane Clown Posse “country”?

@tkinias But Black folks love GNR. Always. But also I don't think it's that simple? Or rather I think it's more simple, they saw bandanas and heard a ballad and thought "this is country"

@futurebird If your idea of “New England” is either Vermont or Cape Cod, I guess?But if your idea of New England is gritty, run-down old mill towns, the only thing special about Boston is that it has money.@mattmcirvin @moira @geoffduncan

@futurebird oh, I was just trying to imagine what it looks like to a middle school kid who had no connection to it other than like seeing it on TV(honestly I’d expect that my own students just think of it as old-people music)

@viccie30 @futurebird @geoffduncan New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland are all kinda "mid-Atlantic" historically which isn't a real solid grouping and in some ways is more a buffer zone between New England and the South.And NYC is kind of like a city-state without actually being one. xD
