Coined in 2013 by music journalist Jody Rosen as a &ldquo;frat-boy beach-bum fantasy&rdquo; for the &ldquo;young America white dude,&rdquo; Bro-Country emerged as a widely popular music genre often dismissed as generic and apolitical. However, Crosby traces the genre&rsquo;s rhetorical shift, which reflects new articulations of masculinity in this political moment. Using country music star Jason Aldean&rsquo;s 2023 viral, yet polarizing, music video &ldquo;Try that in a Small Town,&rdquo; as text, Crosby articulates overlooked themes of antifeminism in the video. Specifically, her research on the depiction of disloyal women sparks discussion about the emergent digital trend of the &ldquo;trad wife&rdquo; as an antidote to contemporary feminist politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assistant Professor of Communication Emily Crosby presented her research entitled &ldquo;It&rsquo;s Not Just Country Music: The Overlooked Rhetorical Reach of Today&rsquo;s &lsquo;Bro-Country&rsquo;&rdquo; at the 2024 Rhetoric Society of America&rsquo;s biennial conference.
