07.04.13 | I used to work in a sammich shop near SLC, and I still remember this one shitty song; "where I come from it's cornbread and chicken. Where I come from it's front porch sittin". The songs are so simple and repetitive that they stay in your head and they never leave. That was in 2007

07.04.13 | I was forced to see the dude who wrote "honky tonk badonkadonk" as well as "brown chicken brown cow" a few months ago live. If I hadn't been a member of sputnik for several years and had significant coping-music to get me through post-concert, I probably wouldn't have made it. |

07.04.13 | "soon you'll be chewing tobacco and in your front porch on a toilet, completely naked."
There are so many rednecks over here it's not even funny. That's okay with me though.
My coworker's like a 45 year old dude from Pennsylvania, and he chews tobacco and spits it into the feed bags because the boss would catch him if he spat on the concrete floors lol. He also has a gun rack in his pick up, where anyone driving behind him could see his big old AK-47 right in the window.
I honestly love my job though. And Western Colorado is where life is at let me tell you. The country though. Just. It's too much. |
North0House2
07.04.13 | I'm going to become ripped though. |
Trebor.
07.04.13 | honky tonk badonkadonk is a real song?
Holy fuck brb killing myself |
North0House2
07.04.13 | Yeah dude, it exists.
And country artists must have a thing for honky tonk, whatever that is, because it's present in just about every song at least once. |
ZilbelPing
07.04.13 | I had no idea Colorado was home to so many rednecks. Like I said, I live in Texas and I'm surprised there aren't much here. Just giant ford truck driving republicans. We have a bunch of cattle ranchers but most are pretty cool people. |
Trebor.
07.04.13 | They all sound and dress exactly the same like wtf is wrong with people that listen to that shit
|
North0House2
07.04.13 | The best part of it all, though, was when I was throwing feed bags to the top of a stack, and all of a sudden I hear Carrie Underwood yell
"JESUS TAKE THE WHEEEL."
I lost it. |

07.04.13 | achey brakey heart |
North0House2
07.04.13 | Zilbel, Colorado's pretty empty when it comes to rednecks, until you come to the Western Slope- places like Grand Junction, Delta, Montrose, etc. It's pretty much all agriculture out here, so it makes sense. But man are they everywhere. It's fantastic, to be honest. Rednecks have a bad rep, but once you get to know them, they're hilarious and genuinely nice people (usually). |
North0House2
07.04.13 | The best part of my day though, hands down, was when I threw a bag of horse feed in the back of this huge Ford pickup, and this guy that was probably 112 suddenly appeared in the passenger seat, and he said something. I'm pretty sure it was "God bless you, son." He only had one tooth, and I felt like I was in a feel-good movie about dogs and farming. |

And yeah, I love the instruments used in country. I'm just not a fan of how they all are applied together IN country music lol. |

Yeah the pop country shit sucks I know I know. You know what also sucks that goddamn dance electro shit on the radio but y'know I'm not gonna bitch about that goddamn dubstep shit even though everything i've heard of it has been that abominable skrillix piece of shit. But y'know that skrillix motherfucker doesn't represent the whole dance/dubstep whatever shit and I'm rather ignant of the rest of it so I don't believe I have the authority to make a decision on the genre on the whole.
But I understand this list isn't serious and meant just for fun so don't take anything I've just said personally and you do note in the list you're speaking just of the pop country shit which indeed sucks.
I think it's important for us to remember just how awful our homogenized corporate radio is. Fuck clear channel or whatever.
Anyway indeed.

07.04.13 | I think I'll avoid it.
I swear there must be some ear-drug in country pop though, because I just hear it a little bit underneath all the augers and sewing machines and stuff, but somehow it's literally stuck permanently in my head. |
americanohno
07.04.13 | Those guys who write the pop country songs, I swear to god, go to four year universities to learn how to craft ear-wormy songs that crater to the lowest common denominator. It's soulless as fuck.
I've had "Baby you a song make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise" (yes college educated people wrote those lyrics) stuck in my head for a solid month now. I'm fairly certain I sing the song in my sleep. |

No no no no no no, that songs gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the week now.
But yeah, I live in a town of 700 people in Midwestern Illinois. Country pop is 95% of the stuff you hear out here. |

07.04.13 | Loved reading this.
Coming from someone who lives in the suburbs of London this is completely different to how I live and sounds way more fun |
YourDarkAffected
07.04.13 | ^I've always wondered about that. People from Europe must find redneck Americans the most annoying people on the planet. I mean, they pretty much embody every negative stereotype about Americans, right? |
Adabelle
07.04.13 | Yeah I guess the view we have of them is pretty much that, heavily stereotyped etc. I think part of that comes from how when people from Europe visit the US they tend to go west coast or east coast and not many people go to the Midwest or Deep South. So haven't ever met a 'redneck' |
YourDarkAffected
07.04.13 | I live in South, but I'm not from it, and the stereotypes are pretty much true, more or less. The unfortunate thing is when you have some really brilliant people (there are a lot of engineers here in Huntsville, AL who work for NASA), but their accent can completely overshadow all of those qualities. I even have trouble with it and I've been around them for quite a while. |

Country music is popular in europe. Or at the very least alt country bands/artists are. And every country has rednecks they're otherwise known as the poor. |

07.04.13 | Uh red necks aren't "the poor" wtf. Most rednecks are poor, but not most poor people are rednecks. Ever hear of hobos? Yeah, they're poor but they're definitely not rednecks. Rednecks are typically poor white southerners with heavy accents, backward values and are unusually uneducated. |

The rednecks over here in Western Colorado tend to actually be quite wealthy, educated, and practical. Almost every one of the rednecks I've met over here has built at least one house, set up irrigation for at least one field, can fly a plane, knows how to weld, or runs a cattle ranch of a couple thousand head. That's hard stuff to learn, so they know how to do things. Heck, a guy we know over here lives in a trailer because he's saving up until he can build his own house with cash, yet he has a ton of cattle, and recently cut a field of his hay and sent it to Denver for free for all of the misplaced horses and livestock due to the wildfires here these past few months. He probably lost about 10,000 bucks doing that, but he did it anyway.
So I'm finding they meet the redneck mentality and way of life, but not necessarily the stereotypes. But that might just be Colorado, because pretty much everyone from Colorado is nice. |
