Everybody bags on country music. Why?

It's like the blues, but for white rednecks.

I suspect you are correct. I generally assume that gleeful ragging on country music is proxy classism. Similarly, ragging on rap and R&B is usually proxy racism. Ragging on any media can often be a proxy for whoever that media tends to be popular with.

Country, blues, R&B were all American conventions. Country music is closer to classical church hymns than anything else. Blues and R&B were more Negro Spirituals, so its pretty much two sides of the same coin.
