At all.

There is, after all, a definite reason truckers and farmers listen to Merle Haggard and not The Bike is a Pipe Bomb.
I would point out how stupid you're generalization about folk-punk is, but then again, you're the guy who thinks that the Nazi band Screwdriver is the best band ever. And is probably a troll.


For those of you who really want to know, many members of folk-punk bands are actual grown adults, are from the country, and are not white (...okay, so most of them are white, but not all! The singer from Defiance Ohio isn't, and who knows who else).
And the reason that truckers don't listen to THIS Bike is a Pipe Bomb, not "The Bike is a Pipe Bomb", is that truckers don't generally like punk. And also most of them probably don't even know who TBIAPB is.
