The data scientists at Addictions.com studied eight different genres of music to see which one had the highest average occurrence of drug references, and believe it or not . . . country was number ONE. Yeah, us.
Here's how the other genres followed, in descending order: Jazz, pop,electronic, rock, other, folk, and rap. Somehow, rap was last. One of the data geeks said that could be because rap is undergoing a transformation, although he didn't offer any details.
For some reason, no specific songs were mentioned, but if you're wondering HOW country came out on top, I have one word for you: marijuana. The researchers suggest that country stars aren't afraid to sing about it now that the negative stigma around weed is gone.
Alcohol was not considered in the study. Their research showed that references to cocaine and meth came in second and third.
