Holy shit. This was at nr.1 in the USA? What the actual fuck? I just listened to it and watched the video. It looked like a Southpark bit. Those lyrics.... Are people drinking 100% pure stupid?
I didn't want to cry this morning. Dammit this made me cry.In contrast to this idiot: a country artist who writes their own songs and is actually from a small town just released his new single. The music video is a gay love story about two coal miners. Some people aren't taking it well.

"[One] reason that I wanted to do this music video was my cousin growing up, who's like my big brother, is gay. And he graduated from Northern Kentucky, went to Chicago and never came back. He taught me so much about singing; he was my first tough critic. And just thinking about him not having a music video on CMT that spoke to him."

Soon it'll be number 88Song went from Number 1 to number 21
Guess the conservatives stopped buying hundreds of copies to own the libs
Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ suffers historic drop from Billboard Hot 100 top spot
After rising to No. 1 on the mainstream chart last week, Aldean's hit has fallen to No. 21, the steepest drop ever for a song that didn't debut at the top. But it still holds a strong position on country charts.
Absolutely, this happens a lot with songs not popular for years getting used in trending TikTok videos; all of a sudden they re-enter the Top 10 in streaming/Apple Music charts.
People don't buy music on iTunes in anywhere near the numbers they used to thanks to Apple Music and Spotify.
Yes. i had to explain to a boomer yesterday that just because the song doesn't outright use the word "lynch" or "vigilante justice" doesn't meant it isn't about those things. He kept trying to argue they'd just drive you out of their small town, and it's like "WITH WHAT, BRETT? WITH FUCKING WHAT?"
Someone should make a thread to test this theory. It could be fun.
Now you could chalk this up to them tryna be coy about their politics, but something I've noticed being surrounded by conservatives my whole life is that they don't quite get figurative language or subcontext or satire. (It's why all their comparisons to any kind of injustice are fucking bonkers.) One of the first things I witnessed at my job was a coworker sharing a parody of Future's "Mask Off" lampooning Karens bitching about covid restrictions and presenting it as a genuine anti-masking song.
Na, I agree. I think they just have really, really bad media literacy and if it isn't in front of their face, then it's just liberals being whiney and crazy. I had this one guy who kept singing "The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades" because he thought it was this uplifting song about graduating from school when it's actually about nuclear war. Took some convincing, and I ruined the song for him, but like .... bro!
