Description

Hellbilly Music is a fusion genre that combines elements of country, rockabilly, and punk rock, often characterized by its rebellious and energetic sound. It typically features distorted guitars, aggressive vocals, and a blend of traditional country themes with a punk attitude.

History

Hellbilly Music emerged as a subgenre of psychobilly and cowpunk, drawing influence from artists like Hank Williams III, who is often credited with popularizing the term. The genre takes inspiration from the raw energy of punk rock and the storytelling of country music, creating a unique blend that appeals to fans of both genres. It gained traction in the late 1990s and early 2000s, particularly in the Southern United States.
