According to Lindsey Starnes , the term " ___MASK5___ " gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to the earlier term " hillbilly music "; it came to encompass Western music , which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar roots , in the mid - 20th century . The term " ___MASK5___ " is used today to describe many styles and subgenres . The origins of ___MASK5___ are the folk music of working - class Americans , who blended popular songs , Irish and Celtic fiddle tunes , traditional English ballads , and cowboy songs , and various musical traditions from European immigrant communities . In 2009 ___MASK5___ was the most listened to rush hour radio genre during the evening commute , and second most popular in the morning commute in the United States .
