it gives me this hopelessly bored and anxious feeling whenever i see any movies about time periods before the 80s i get so pissed and nobody seems to get it.
Is it normal to find certain cultures or periods in time repugnant or repulsive? Yes.
Is it normal to actively hate something that has no bearing on your life? Yes, but it is not a wise choice and not good for your mental well being.
Live and let live. I don't like hick culture either.. but I don't care about it enough to let it affect my happiness in life.
Yet, cowboys and rednecks are some of the nicest, most hospitable, and most mannerful people you'll ever meet. Have you ever been to the South? Probably not, because you hate "our kind." We only seem like assholes because people are always fucking with us and trying to make us change our beliefs, values, and morals. Yes, a lot of hicks are douchebags but most aren't. Just don't fuck with us and let us live our damn lives. And for Christ's sake, leave our Rebel Flag alone!
But in short, I'd say it's normal, just don't let your hatred for them consume you.
I used to hate that kind of stuff with a passion, I still dislike it for the most part, but as you get older you start to realize that it's easier to just avoid things that repulse you instead of obsessing over them. Not to mention, the more I opened up to "redneck" types, the more I realized that you can find common ground with them. For instance, I can relate to them because they're fairly blunt, a lot of them don't listen to just country music (some listen to metal for instance, which I'm a pretty big fan of), they hold tight to their beliefs, etc.
oh, and they're good drinking buddies ;)
