The Most Redneck Towns In Montana, Are Also The Best

Redneck Culture: Pride And Stereotypes

When most people hear the word "redneck," they probably picture a slack-jawed yokel from some backwoods corner of the country.

Honestly, I think the word redneck should be worn as a badge of honor here in Montana.

History Of The Term Redneck

The word redneck came into common usage around the 1930's, and it was used to belittle those considered lower-class or working class.

The name derived from the fact these people were hard working self sufficient people who often worked their own lands, and as they did their necks would burn and become red.

Sounds to me that being a redneck aligns closely with traditional Montana values.

We might laugh at the stereotypical redneck we see in TV and movies, but when something goes wrong in the middle of nowhere, you're gonna be glad that redneck is there with you.

Still the website known as RoadSnacks, decided to find which Montana town is considered the most redneck.

Using their "Saturday Night Science" methodology they used the following criteria to determine their list

• Small towns
• Least amount of high school graduates
