The National Anthem

There's another one called Hard Life in the Country with some good/funny lyrics,

The villagers
Are surrounding the house

Straw Dogs style... or Withnail "Help, we've come on holiday by mistake" - actually reminds me of Liza's friend from Russia who went to the countryside for an idyllic day taking acid (girlfriend was invited to go along but sensibly said "fuck that it sounds shit"), sadly ended up cowering away from horses they were afraid were gonna eat them and eventually flagged down a car or a farmer or something and said "Help us please, we're tourists from Dalston".

Never got the snobbery around this subject

There's tons of wealth around rural Britain, just don;t expect it from agriculture. Landowners use agriculture as a veneer for tax scams

US is the opposite, majority of the wealth is mainly urban centric, although Covid could shake that jar up

UK rural music? BBCR3 and Oasis

i didnt even know we had rural areas in this country

I thought that until i went to the Costwolds when we were allowed out briefly last summer, it was fucking weird.

Pheasants are actually just wandering around out there wild.

That's almost where I grew up. Loads of pheasants on the roads... often dead. Foxes too apparently although I saw loads more of them when I moved to Hackney.

Yeah I saw a couple splatted ones, they seem pretty bloody stupid.

They tend to run out in front of the car at just the wrong moment, or pop off a fence as you walk by, scaring the shit out of you. They're quite slow and always look very worried.

 

[IdleRich]

They don't learn at all. Dad hit a deer once, flew right up in the air apparently. I guess they are very hard to dodge when they jump right in front of you.

Tasty and free

The authentic sound of the English countryside is Liquid Drum & Bass, Psytrance and UK Hip-Hop, and is, thus, completely irredeemable. @sufi please lock this thread before it gets out of hand.

there's a festival that takes place every year about 30 mins from my hometown in the grounds of a castle that's beside the beach. It is exactly this vibe and despite the cheap cost and locality I could never go.

I think, as much as we live in a post-internet culture and scenes don't have to be geographic to rise organically any more, if you don't have somewhere to actually dance then you're going to miss out.

i'd be scared if i lived in rural England. county lines corrupting the youth etc

I went to school in a town in rural area lots of farmers at the school etc. It wasn't county lines but people being moved there on witness protection that shook things up a bit. There was one family of scousers everyone was scared of in school, one of them ended up going to jail for putting a meat cleaver to someone's head. towns in rural areas are always full of crack and heroin addicts too but it's all a bit more hidden away.

The music at the illegal raves is probably the worst, when I was going it was mostly psytrance, breakbeat and deep house, think it moved on to offmenut style of bassline. The only redemption was the few djs who would play jungle really.

 

[muser]

This is the sound of the countryside in the UK.

looks like a much better childhood than the one i had

 

[muser]

It's amazing just randomly searching videos and seeing how nothing has changed really. Fashion and trends drip through from the city stagnate and fossilize in provincial England.

Thank you

sound more like a teknical rave in provincial France to me..

 

[chava]

Nah, _this_ is the real rural british techno:

 

[muser]

teknivals and I imagine raves in general have been much the same all over Europe for a while exactly because its a provincial and culturally stagnant scene. Was actually almost going to post that peel video up.. they're not representative though sadly, I wish they were!
