Country music is a part of American history, known for creating the actual craze for guitars among people. However, there are still several myths surrounding country music. The first myth says that country music is white music and is only for white people. In reality, when the term country music was officially coined in the early 1940s, there were plenty of African-American string bands that played the same types of music. Another popular myth that people believe in is that country music artists tell their stories in the songs. In reality, many artists are known to give out several hits that seem like an autobiography. However, the country music industry is well established and has lyricists who write and frame lyrics for popular artists. There might be some common incidents that people can relate to the artist, but it is more of a part of someone’s imagination and not true.
