The song doesn't surprise me at all. It would've probably been successful for its market audience anyway, because these people believe this line of thinking, but this publicity is going to turn it into a summer anthem. He's going to make a lot of money off of this.
Violent crimes are up in small towns, too. The logic doesn't even make sense.
Per capita “small towns” are less safe than big cities.
He’s also from Macon, which (1) is not a small town, and (2) has one of the highest crime rates in America.

Maybe I'm trippin but I've always felt like small towns are always have way more violence and poverty then the big city's. Like I've been on the south side of Chicago my entire life and yeah some hoods I avoid at night, but driving through smaller towns like Joilet / Kankakee / Peoria freak me out way more and look way more run down. People are just at active.

Most of what I see in Atlanta, I would describe as “tomfoolery”, like two people arguing on a train or someone trying to sell liquor. However, I do see a lot of dangerous shit. People racing on 85, have been threatened to be shot, I always have more altercations in Atlanta. I’ve seen car break ins from a far, shootings used to happen down the street from my old place, have heard shots, etc. Atlanta can be pretty rough and you do need to be aware of your surrounding even while driving.
Regardless, this is all for show. I live in a county next to Fulton. I talk to a lot of people who are scared of going to Atlanta for anything and like to pretend like this shit doesn’t happen here but it totally does. America is just a dangerous country in general. Most of these guys who pretend that their town has “honor” or some unified sense of Justice are the same kinds who go to their bars and start fights.

My in laws think we’re going to get murdered any time we go to Atlanta. We’re not even going to tell them we’re going to Chicago.

I’d rather be lost/wrong neighborhood in a city than out in the middle of nowhere in the country.

I had a guy grab my wallet out of my hands once when I lived in Atlanta, but he just looked through it and gave it back when he saw that I was telling the truth that I didn’t have any cash in it. We lived right on the edge of midtown for a while, so we saw a lot of poverty and some prostitution, but not really much crime (although we did see a couple places very close to our apartment on Cops).
I heard a girl in Perry once say she never went to Macon because she didn’t want to get shot, and I heard a server at a Waffle House in Knoxville saying her mom told her never to stop in Macon when she was traveling because it’s not safe. I’ve lived here six years (well, a year of that was in Byron), and it’s been fine. There are more abandoned and run down buildings here, and there’s maybe more poverty in general. There are also areas I wouldn’t go to at night but that’s true of pretty much every city I’ve lived in.

Aight look Joliet and Peoria have like 125k+ people, smallness is relative
And I say this as someone who spent a good chunk of her childhood in Pilsen.

We’ve talked about this before. But just for people not from the south. Jason Aldean is the norm. These fake county boys are typically middle class and from mid-size cities. I mean the fans as well. The folks the love these shitty songs. I know tons of them. Grew up with them. They are from the fucking suburbs. I’m more country than these motherfuckers. It’s statistically rare for these fans to actually have long term experience with rural America.
The whole “my small town” old time America bullshit in country music is no different than Main St. in Disney World. It’s a simulacra that appeals more to the nostalgia of ideals than any actual reality.

Btw, a place where Jason’s music resonates for whatever stupid reason…. Dalton is pretty large compared to the rest of Northwest Georgia…. Cause of the carpet industry. But still like 10% of the population of Atlanta if you use the surrounding counties that comes here for work.
Dalton made the New York Times for meth capitol of the country. Per capita it has a higher domestic violence rate than the large majority of metro Atlanta. Same for overdoses.
And all the women murdered by abusive husbands here? Never heard a single story of a good ole boy saving a one of them.
Jason’s fans really testing the facts in this part of the Bible Belt.

Isn't that also Margery Taylor Green's district?
Oh yeah!
She’s not from here. Gotta at least not claim her. But yeah, the idiots here voted her in.

I know, right? Growing up it was mostly Mexicans and my church had Polish, Spanish and English masses, then I went to college and BAM now it's mostly hipsters and that church is closed.
My parents grew up there and they say it's even crazier for them.
i read it as sarcastic and in jest, but i'm not completely sure. i mean, he was the president of the US and used drones to kill civilians, so i guess?
It just seems a bit random coming from her? I’ve seen her three times solo since 2019 and I don’t see her ragging on Obama out of nowhere, esp on a post about music lists.

I'm not planning on telling my family about Chicago either
Why is nobody asking the question of: why did it take country music over 3 years to write a response song to BLM? Should I be expecting an anti-mask mandate song next week?

I don't think it's random, he included one of her songs in his list.
So as very much expected, "Try That in a Small Town" is the number one song on iTunes and Aldean's album is the number one album on iTunes. And of course it's iTunes because who actually uses iTunes anymore other than people who would like Aldean and that song. He threw out the bait, a lot of people bit and gave him tons of publicity, and he's raking in the money. It's not even that inflammatory (or interesting) of a song, either, which is the most annoying part of this.
"Big cities run by Democrats are full of crime, but that shit don't fly over here in Red America!" It's a conservative media message that's been around forever. Nothing new, nothing interesting. Something to say to your buddy (or sing) while popping open a crisp Michelob Ultra or Coors Light (but not a Bud Light). The fact that this song became so popular and polarizing speaks to the stupidity of our country.
Also, it took 14.5 years (!) but I finally reached 5,000 posts.
