Bar Anthem — Closing-Time Crowd

Parent arc · SA#20

Authenticity is INHABITED, not INHERITED.

Country songs collect signals (truck + beer + dirt road + mama) — but real country INHABITS a coherent material world; cosplay merely lists the signals. The Concrete Imagery Density + Live-Realistic Ratio primitives + 4 substyle profiles (Neo-Traditional / Radio-Country-Crossover / Heartland-Ballad / Bar-Anthem) detect the gap.

The load-bearing primitive is CID + LRR — applied to every country lyric the forge produces, including Bar Anthem.
