Gen Z Reacts to Jason Aldean - Try That In A Small Town (Official Music Video) 

Follow me on instagram 🩵 instagram.com/thetatofam

The message resonates with so many of us, who are just tired of the nonsense, violence, hypocrisy and the division. We stand with Jason.

I have to admit, when I first saw the title Gen Z reacts, I automatically assumed what position you were going to take on this. I was blown away by your actual reaction and I feel horrible for assuming. You give me hope for the future. Thank you for being a free thinker and using logic instead of emotions to form your opinions.

They tried that in 2020 in my town and got their asses chased out 😆 God Bless to all my patriot brothers and sisters!

Yep.. I'm a 56 year old Texas Born and Raised, Cowboy to the bone and a Marine to boot.. I don't hold much a candle to todays generation of young people. Your a fresh breath of hope. Outstanding.. simply Outstanding!! SF

I’m in small town Florida. Our most popular sherif got on the news and said “ if anyone tries it, comes to your home with intent to do harm, blow them back out on the street and I’ll deal with it” 😂 FAFO

I heard from another reactor:" Have you ever been so angry that you just had to go out and steal a plasma tv.?"🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you look for racism you'll find it even if it's not there. This song has nothing to do with race.

YOU, AS A GEN-Z, ARE AN INSPIRATION FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY.. THANK YOU😎

I have watched over 50 reaction videos to this song. You sharing your experiences during the Kenosha protests/riots was enlightening and well stated. It added a fantastic frame through which to interpret this song and video. I truly appreciate your candor and willingness to think critically and independently. Excellent job, young man, from a Gen Xer! Subscribed!

GREAT and accurate review in my opinion. The whole country should adopt this type of mentality. Love, help and protect each other - just be a good human and not tolerate unlawful behavior and crime.

I am 57 years old and was sickened by all this crap that went down. Interesting to hear you, young man, describe what was happening at a local level. So peoples opinion changed when the violence started? Seems like those folks that were starting the shit were not even from the areas they were destroying.Glad to see your reaction, as a younger person, to such a good song. God bless America!

Country folks take care of their own. Small town proud all my life, I'm 70 now. Daddy gave me my first handgun when I turned 16. He raised me right I was taught respect for my elders no matter what color their skin is. Mama taught me to trust in the Lord and to love everyone, Daddy taught me to stand for what's right. Small towns don't mess around, nor do me and my own.

I am from rural Alberta Canada. This song is about people coming together to help and protect each other. We are about community and family. We love our country, family, friends and neighbors. We are tired of the violence and craziness in the world. Jason Aldean witnessed this kind of violence himself in a shooting. He just wants peace and love for America 🇺🇸 alot of people now a days only think about themselves instead of a community as whole. No respect now a days. I am glad to see a Gen Z still has a good head on his shoulders

Jason Aldean October 31st 2017 on stage at the vineyard in Vegas. Singing to his fans when gunfire spraying all over the vineyard killing his fans. Jason runs backstage to save his pregnant wife and get her to safety. If anyone has a right to bring this message to the world it's Jason. Thank you for covering this I subbed you and shared your video on Twitter.

Wow!! Young man, I have watched over 30 different videos on this song by Jason Aldean. All were first time watching the video and their reaction. 98% of them were positive about the song and the ages were from 20’s-70+. You are the first one to point out the M.O. of these people, they look for the easy fight, hit and run instead of fighting the good fight. Keep up the good fight! Well said young man.

I live in WA state where we can open carry or carry concealed. The only place we had riots was in Seattle which is now mostly CA liberals. They tried in Spokane but they met a great deal of resistance. All the rioters were bused in. Just across the border in Coeur d’ Alene, ID they were all locked and loaded and waiting for the bus. They lined the main street. The rioters turned around and left, cause try that in a small town!

Glad I gave you a chance young man! I saw GenZ and pre-judged you! You and I are in 2 different categories. I'm an older Black woman raised up with a Motown/R&B vibe, and yet this song and the Love of the message it states we share that in common.🥰 God Bless you! ❤️‍🔥🙏🏽✝️🇺🇸💯

That is one of those rare Country Songs, I actually like. It means something more than a normal country song. Let's keep him #1 for a few weeks. It would really make the media think.

Its actually nice to hear from someone who lived in the Kenosha area. You must've been in high school or prior at the time... It must have been a hairy situation. We're just down the road from where the LA riots happened in the 90s and we had the same feeling of "holy shit, they could riot where I live", but it didn't happen.

I live in Iowa, in the country, but my small town is like 325 residents... there is NO WAY people here would put up with any of that! Be in jail, SERIOUSLY injured, or dead!! It's a GREAT song and TOTALLY the truth!!!! 👍👍👌

In 2020 we had a Back The Blue event. At the same time antifa tried to have an event 5 miles away. I live in Cullman,Alabama. Im an Admin in a group called Cullman Strong. We coordinated with local law enforcement. They understood if they got in trouble or overwhelmed,there will be an arsenal there in seconds! A lot of us are ex or current military. Needless to say word got out. The antifa experiment failed miserably!

Locked and Loaded EXACTLY! Don't try that in a Small Town!

It is so great to see a young person get what this song is about. Love this song and love Jason Aldean.

Kyle shut that shit down . Good job

Thank you for expressing your personal experience with this type of thing. People who foment racism and try to cancel people for showing the truth are the racists.

I remember seeing that clip of the guy in the convenience store fighting those two guys that came in to rob it and I remember hearing that he was military but I don’t remember what branch he was in but my initial reaction to that was fuck yeah, that was awesome.

Its awesome to see all ages coming together to support the patriotism this song represents and are able to unite and stand up against mainstream media for trying to turn this song into something racial !!!! IMO❤

Your reaction made me sub. Thank god theres some good smart kids like you out there. Dont ever be afraid to be yourself

I know someone from Kenosha who told me about going to a Walgreens out of necessity. They kinda badly needed something so walked to the location. He literally stood outside the store as his partner went inside. A truck pulled up, he made sure they knew he was carrying and they fled instantly!! Sad he needed to do this but, it was effective.

I hope there are a lot of Gen Z kids like you. Gives me hope for America

So many people of your age are, as Jason says in this song "act a fool." I'm always heartened and impressed when I run into someone like yourself. Stay free!

Love your take on this, it’s time to vote out mainstream media!

They came to our small town of butler, and they met the whole town.. armed and waiting for them. They left fast.

You are very wise for your age young man, I'm 50 and I have a lot of respect for you my brother. Keep up the great work

I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin. There’s no way that anyone of the rioters would have walked away after they started rioting.

Same thing here in NC. They said they were coming to the suburbs. My neighbor and I looked at each other and said “not here they ain’t”. Wasn’t racist in any way. It was simply us saying they weren’t going to come to our neighborhood and destroy shit here. They’d be shot on site. My family’s lives come before anyone else’s. I’d happily go to Jail for them.

I had a lot of feels from this too. I'm a Boomer who lives in Portland, Oregon. We haven't truly healed yet between what happened here and the pandemic. Statues still sit in storage. I watched live stream every single night and two of the guys out here went to Kenosha after leaving Minneapolis. I've watched reactions on this video tonight after watching it myself. Everyone is saying the same. I used to be in the activist community here, but not the past 5 years. I also was in the middle of friends. The discussion around this video seems to be cathartic for me. Thanks for your thoughtful perspective. 💜🙏

THIS SONG IS 100% TRUE. I LOVE IT❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for covering this video.

The small town I’m from heard of the planned protest coming to our area. Every store owner started boarding up their places because of how it was across the rest of the country. They met them in their red white n blue, and we were labeled racist.. small towns are full of mom n pop shops depending on their store and community to put bread on the table. You can go over to those big corp. stores where you can get away with it. But if you mess with someone’s lively hood, who have worked their whole lives to get the little they have, and try to take or burn down things that are not yours and you didn’t not work for….. (insert every lyric in this song)

FAFO. This is exactly what will happen when you try that in a town where everyone stands together.

I grew up in Va , And we moved from Puerto Rico in 1968 and come harvest time our father made us help the farmers for free. but they feed us great. We had a sense of community and we respected each other. Thank You you touched upon it, they destroyed business . And coming from a large family my father bought from the farmers like half cows and pigs and chickens and vegetables. WE bought bulk before bulk was a thing

My daughter is a millennial and I'm Generation X. And we both agree with everything you said. This isn't about race. It isn't generational. This is about community and taking care of one another. And this song is a "fuck around and find out" anthem. Subscribed! (;

You're sharing your first hand knowledge from what you personally lived through in your hometown. You are saying exactly what your generation needs to hear. You've given me hope for the future, sir. 👏👏👏

Great reaction! Hearing the story from someone so close to the Kenosha incident is enlightening! But you're absolutely right, they're destroying buildings and businesses that you knew and are used to being in your neighborhood.

I’m impressed with your thoughts on what happened near your area. I have a brother & his wife that live in WI and they conceal & carry & were ready to protect their home & neighbors. I watch all this crime on tv & it makes me sick. I don’t live in a big city & never want to. “Try that in a Small Town” is my favorite song!

Wow, your personal experience with this chaos captivated me. One of the most heartfelt reactions I've seen so far. Well done!

Let me just say that there is one side that is love and one side that is hate. We are the love that over powers their hate. Let that sink in..... Thank you!

Well said young man! I am now a subscriber. After being jumped and robbed twice( the second time at gunpoint, car being stolen and home broken into I was done with city life. I moved to a small NC farming community 18 years ago and have never felt more safe. My neighbors of all races respect God, each other and our community. I have never met a more friendly kind and generous group of folks who help each other. Jason's song speaks the truth. People are tired of rampant violent crime and criminals not facing harsher consequences. The good ole boys around here wouldn't stand by and allow such violence. My first hunting season here I stopped at the country store early morning to see the parking lot full of cammo wearing hunters with lots of firepower.

I'm a granny and born and raised in a small town! He is spitting FACTS! You want to tear up your town that's on ya'll to stop it! You won't do it in a small town ! And I'm a hick redneck hillbilly....🇺🇸

Big town's would do good to have small town values .I'm proud to be from Georgia and even prouder to live in a small town where we do take care of our own and we don't call the cops for help just because someone is trying to get in the house uninvited ,I mean why call them when the coroner will do that for you !

I live in a rural Arizona town & worked in an outdoor sports/ranch supply store. I was lead firearm sales when the 'march' was scheduled to come up our street. We were literally visited by federal law enforcement and told "We have been contacted and told outright they plan to riot and loot here." You should have seen the rednecks that arrived in their pickups and literally pulled up in front of the three gun stores on this march route. In Arizona a conceal carry permit isn't required. Brandishing is not legal but we are a Castle law state which extends to our vehicle. Being ready to defend ourselves; property and others is covered (when done responsibly). I was literally parked in our lot near the police at the ready. Fortunately, the group along our route didn't riot. Had they done so they'd have faced citizens backing up police It would have been a much bigger mess (for them) than Kenosha.

I was just clicked to hear a younger generations view on the topic. But I was shocked when I heard "West of the I as grew up, west of the I". Still have close ties to the aera. You're 100% on point about the area Blue collar, working class & farmers. My parents still live there. During the riots I stayed in the area. I seen exactly the same thing everyone was locked n loaded, talking with the their neighbors and watching out for each other. Lots of concerned neighbors at the gas stations and driving around. The amount of trucks & people I seen hanging out at Brass Ball Mobil was amazing to see everyone keeping an eye out!

There is an old country saying, “If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know the one you hit by its yelp!” That is exactly what happened when country singer Jason Aldean published his latest song, “Try That in a Small Town!” Pointing out the difference between urban and rural cultures, he unknowingly poked his finger in the eye of urban culture and elitism. The leftists immediately “yelped,” using the word they most often use for calling names, “racism,”(and of course, the song has nothing to indicate racism). Aldean stated the same concept as the greatest philosopher of the early 1800s, Thomas Jefferson, who said, “When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.” He believed the great cities of Europe to be the corrupters of culture. Most news stories these days simply give evidence to support the idea that cities are the corruptive influence in this culture. Many are fleeing the rotting, rioting cities these days. One can only hope they are also fleeing the city’s values. If they bring those with them, they will only corrupt the rest of society. This is obvious in places like Oregon, which is primarily rural, but is controlled almost totally by one county.

Thanks GenZ for having a good mind. I still can't get my mind around how people think this is r@cist, promoting violence, or anything else. You seem to have been near some of these instances and get it. So good job speaking out on it!

Numerous black communities haven't recovered from the summer of love.

Great song. If we even knew who our neighbors was and was committed to helping and protecting each other like when I was child.

So good to hear your perspective on all of this given that you are so close to where the action was happening. Thank you for sharing your POV, and you have really given me something to think about.

If “fuck around and find out” was a song

It's nice to see some gen zs having some common sense and think on there own

Love hearing your perspective. Appreciate that your generation are actually aware of the world around you and you get it

In every tree behind every Rock in every window . Don't cross the line. Don't start what you can't win.

Hey new here But THANK YOU!!! I'M IN RURAL MN. I feel the same way, I pray JA hears your story! Your and I ARE the reason this song rings so true! You had me in tears... just to close to home. I can't go into details. But I beg you to look into Fargo ND we had a shooter/terrorist that our cop died for and stopped. 1 week ago! They stopped him from killing hundreds...😢

I like you, Man. I am from a small town. Many years ago, something sort of similar was happening and everyone was "locked and loaded". A bit of tension that night (never saw a cop). The community was ready. I am glad that part of the community was able to turn the "non-residents" around before things got bad.

Great review and the Song is Wonderful! Awesome Song! Touched my heart !

I live in Wisconsin also in a small town.. They would never try that stuff here.. Got a new follower 🙏🇺🇸❤️

Your reaction is so far my favorite with this song. Thanks for talking about how it's related to where you live

I applaud your bravery young man. People in small town Idaho did the same when Seattle and Portland were burning with riots. Stood outside and waited to protect theirs.

Great reaction. Thanks for being real - you let us know who you are - which isn’t easy for someone as young as you. You are on a very good path. Do more reactions from your heart - that is what will draw an audience in…and go deeper into things you might not “get” we don’t always have to agree. Right now would be a great time to follow up with Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” - do what you like but let things surprise you. Because the response you will get for doing this video will surely surprise you …

the left goes nutz when someone states the truth.

I really hope your video is seen far and wide. Most people haven’t heard this version of events in Kenosha, and I know I appreciated your input very much. I found it interesting that he was performing in Las Vegas when the October 1st shooting happened. I’m sure he is heavily affected by that experience, and wishing for the sense of community and country he grew up with.

I'm from a very small town out in the country, nothing but cornfields, and lots of trees but my children went to the school in the small town I live and a great school, small school k-8 No school shootings, no murders, no major drugs, people are a lot kinder and willing to help out Small Town and country folks are awesome So happy to be a country girl Hate the city, don't want to go to the big city if I don't have to Jason Aldean's new song is 👍🏻👍🏻 It's great

Great song.

I remember in my town there were a few rumors of riots near me. I had my shit loaded and ready to go. I've got a few more now and yeah I take care of my own.

Great Patriotic song

THANK YOU!!! I'm so glad I found your channel. You, being another young person with morals and an understanding of what is really going on. Gives hope for our country. Bless you

Support from Australia 🇦🇺 mate.

This song is quickly becoming the second national anthem for all those who stand on the right side of normal

The song stays in your head. I was literally humming the tune 🎶 all day. America 🇺🇸 1st ppl ❤ 7:00

I bought this song on iTunes

So many of us were awakened by that mess in Kenosha. We were standing behind you all from all over the world and every small town. My dad was so mad though as i grew up in a snall town. He saw the way education and forest management were not reflecting American values. We need to completely, once and for all, make our country great again, again!!!! And nevermore let it be compromised. 🎉❤🎉

That's a great song !

And I love country music actually all music that makes sense

honestly, after hearing it about all you can say is "hell yeah"

Good man! And correct...0 Racism, just politely explained if you come to our town we use self-defense no matter what race you are! Cheers

I love your channel, old lady from Texas, I shared and asked my friends to stand up before it's too late.. keep up the good work, (less profanity would be better for over all sharablity) young people will listen to you so much faster than they will a boomer 😆❤🎉👏👏👏

"They would rather fight the easy fight than the good fight" This is the best thing you said!! Its so true!!!!

Democrats made our country unsafe. Protect yourself, family, friends & belongings; locked & loaded❤ Great song, fk CMT.

Have people forgotten? In 2017 Jason held a concert for the Harvest Musical Festival in Vegas. While he was preforming, a lone gunman shot over 1000 rounds into the crowd of Jason's concert. He killed 60 people and injured over 400. Due to the panic there were another 800+ people injured. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in American history. Jason takes these violent protests and riots very seriously. This is not a song about race or an attempt to keep us divided. This is a song reminding all of us that we are brothers and sisters, friends, neighbors, coworkers, business owners, etc. and we should always have each other backs. We are all connected in some way and we should take care of our own. I love this song. It a song about uniting us.

Good review. I see a great song about good people standing together, whatever comes, it really resonates with me. The people against this song seem to be the same people against Sound of Freedom...why is that?

Respect. Doesn't matter when you were born, boomer, gen x, millennial, gen z.....values are values, some have them and a lot do not. You have them, mad props.

The way it was, the way it is, and the way it always should be. God bless America

Just like they tried to cancel the movie "The Sound Of Freedom," went number 1, passing "Indiana Jones."

Try That In A Small Town for a Grammy !

CMT is simply a reflection of what has happened to Country Music over the last 2-3 years or so.

That courthouse is in Columbia TN and I live in Columbia TN. WE ARE FAR, FAR, FAR FROM RACISTS. Jason lives in Spring Hill TN which neighbors Columbia. The main issue is that some people (Idiots) think Jason chose that courthouse intentionally because that courthouse (in Columbia, TN) was where a young black man was lynched back in 1927. They have no idea that Jason chose that courthouse because it is the closest courthouse to where he lives. That courthouse is used in many videos including Hannah Montana and Brantley Gilberts "What Happens In A Small Town" video. ALL BS... WE LOVE JASON...

ANTIFA said "we're coming for rural America next " Good Luck with that. 😈🦅🙀

Been waiting on this bubba

This is a major turning point in the awakening of so many we have waited to wake up for years.
