The idea of Redneck has been fraught with stereotypes, but a redneck is any relatively right-wing, lower/middle class person living in a rural area who has little or no regard for being overly sophisticated or formal. Contrary to popular belief, a person of any race or ethnic background can be a redneck. The only people who can't be rednecks are metrosexuals, members of overly glamorous subcultures, liberals, and male homosexuals.
Redneck is a subculture, but it's more of an ideology than a style. Thus, a redneck can be part of a second subculture as long as it isn't too glamorous. Subcultural members that can be rednecks include Metalheads, wiggers in some cases, and less fancy-looking punks.
Subcultures that cannot be redneck include Emo, Scene, Goth, the richer looking wiggers, and the more fancy-looking punks.
Common activities that rednecks engage in include hunting, fishing, riding ATVs or dirtbikes, shooting, etc. Pickup trucks are preferable for rednecks, though not essential. The Confederate flag is sometimes used to rednecks not to promote racism, but to promote Confederation, or weaker federal government.
Rednecks are the exact opposite of metrosexuals and city people. They are never afraid to express their views, and aren't afraid to get dirty. They also hate gangsta wannabes and are not intimidated by them.
City Gangsta: I went into the country and tried to steal stuff from this barn, but this redneck came out with a shotgun and told me to get the fuck out. I pulled out my switchblade and showed him my gang tattoos to intimidate him, but he just laughed.

Okay, lets get something straight, theres a difference between a REDNECK and WHITE TRASH.
White Trash are people who...
1. are racist bigots who think acting intolerant and obnoxious makes them look good but doesnt
2. live in trailer parks with a rusty ass truck or old car
3. are general assholes who bang their cousins and are hated by most of the public
Rednecks and/or hicks and/or Good Ol' Boys are...
1. Generally kind, good people who just enjoy the little things in life which money cant give them(family, friends, etc.)
2. Like to work hard for what they have but are also known to play even harder than they work.
3. Live in a rural area NOT because they dont like the city but because they love the outdoors and the peace that comes with being out away from all the hustle and confusion of a big city.
4. Someone who is definitely not afraid to fight and stand up for what he believes in(especially if it envolves a woman) but at the same time knows how to treat people right.
Generally, they are compassionate, good-natured, hardworking, fun-loving people who just want to do what they want and dont mind working to get what they want.
Rednecks are usually nice to ALL people until they are given a reason not to be. Just get to know them and you will find they are good friends to have.

Not a hick;may or may not have an education--either its stereotyped way too often. Its an attitude and style. Often an adopted way of life. Care free, cut and dry, roughneck attitude/qualities. Aint afraid to kick someones ass over the smallest things, often give "what are you lookin at asshole smirks" often quoted with "Aint Skeered!", may show racist qualities--and for the most part love Nascar...articles of clothing:sporting t-shirts, jean or work shorts, work boots, cut off flannel shirts, sporting caps, anything camoflauge
Man, that Mark--he aint skeered ta kick no ones ass. How many times does he have "ed-u-cate ya" not ta mess with em?

1.) A person from a rural subculture with a jolly personality, who, despite a penchant for alcohol and bad facial hair, can be lots of fun to hang with.
2.) A racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted person, who thinks non-Christians are going to hell, George Bush was a great president, and trailer-park mustaches are sexy.
3.) What average, middle-class white Christians call themselves when they want to pretend they're members of a struggling minority culture.
Don't talk about politics around Ray, he's a redneck!
