07.27.23 | It really is. I listened to it on a drive and forced myself to listen all the way through for some reason. It's the most bottom-of-the-barrel garbage that modern country has to offer. |

07.28.23 | I remeber 10, 11 years ago all the women mybage 21, 22 were in love with this guy. Being in oklahoma and living in one of two cities it was already annoying hearing suburbanites prance on about how they want to be with a cowboy but he made it 100 times more prevalent. |

07.28.23 | In the deep south the word town is actually synonymous with penis I'm just saying that jason aldean has a small small penis and he should probably finish the abortion his aunt/mother failed at stupid fucking cunt |

07.28.23 | Most small towns in rural America are overrun with meth kids, puppy mills, and virulent racists. The only thing they defend is their own stupidity and poor life decisions. |
butt.
07.28.23 | Yeah all the shit he complains about “in the city” happens in small towns just as much. Domestic & sexual abuse, meth, alcoholism, and theft are a daily part of small town life. Unlike Jason, I actually grew up in a small town and holy shit is he missing the mark |

07.28.23 | My mom is a cop in a town of 15k. There's always crime happening in a small town to the point she's paranoid our house will be shot up at any moment. (Admittedly I think she's super paranoid about that) |

yeah but cities have minorities in them so... I'm sure you see his point. |

07.28.23 | I love small towns, grew up in one and would love to move back to a small town later in life. That said, Jason Aldean is one of the worst of the worst of radio country artists, and there's a very low bar to clear in that genre. I do find it funny that he's trying to play dumb and act like the song wasn't meant to be controversial - when it's obvious the whole intent was to start a culture war to draw attention and bring in some extra dollars. Feel kinda bad even wasting time thinking about it/discussing it, because we're only proving why unscrupulous people like Aldean pull stunts like this. |

07.28.23 | he’s such a clown, I had no idea he was from Macon. Macon is not a small town lmfao |
butt.
07.28.23 | That’s the funniest part. Not from a small town, didn’t even write the song…textbook pandering. And the target audience doesn’t give a single shit because it makes them feel tough or something |

07.28.23 | "I wish this would go back from shitting on small towns to shitting on Jason aldean"
Jason is contributing to the narrative that small towns are idyllic and close knit communities when they're often the opposite. Acknowledging the things that actually happen in small towns when he is repping them as morally superior is just turning a blind eye to people's suffering that happen in these same small towns. And doing it for profit in the process actually. Jason is the one actually shitting on small towns by denying the reality of the day-to-day goings on that affect actual people. It's propaganda. |

07.28.23 | Kinda off topic but my 62 year old dad refuses to listen to anything but godawful bro country, so as someone with no interest in the genre regardless of quality, what are some contemporary artists that I can recommend to him that will poison his mind less than this (Fox News has already done a lot) |

07.28.23 | i went to college in macon and grew up 30 min outside of it. not only is macon not a small town, it's a city with a high violent crime rate. the population of bottom half of the city is predominantly black with a good chunk of them living below the poverty line. literally everything in the first verse of Try that In a Small Town with the exception of the flag stomping are fairly common occurrences. |

07.28.23 | @aubergine Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, Driveby Truckers, Chris Stapleton |

07.28.23 | @Aubergine: try some Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Ruston Kelly, Honey Harper, Kacey Musgraves, Orville Peck, Zach Bryan, recent Waxahatchee... |

07.28.23 | Oops weird timing but also some nice overlap |
butt.
07.28.23 | Hahaha nice. Same first two even in the same order. I guess the whole “modern country that doesn’t suck” prompt has developed a pretty streamlined response at this point. I almost threw Orville and Honey Harper in there. I’m also listening to Colter Wall for the first time right now and really digging this shit too. |

07.28.23 | I don’t fuck with country at all but I gotta say, my brother put on Tyler Childers while we were smoking and I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed it. |
butt.
07.28.23 | Hmmm if you liked Tyler then honestly I think you should fuck with country. If you enjoyed that, then there’s plenty for you out there |
butt.
07.28.23 | Oh also gotta plug Myron Elkins. Everyone needs to check him out. Hometown represent |

07.28.23 | Oh and Willi Carlisle |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.28.23 | Jam David Eugene Edwards projects, do not count bro country as music, ignore 90% of everything else in the genre (*especially* pop country plugged on this site), live forever
Willi Carlisle, Orville Peck and Honey Harper are the ones you want from the above suggestions |
