Rednecks now
Today, rednecks are seen as inferior to most. This is definitely an unfair stereotype against Southerners that share common characteristics. People today are starting to realize that these so called rednecks are not so bad after all. Just like preps or jocks, rednecks are defined by their appearance and hobbies. One day the term redneck is just going to be another fad that no one even notices.
