Why aren't Americans exploiting this aesthetic? It has good potential. But oh no, you must all be New York/California faggots. This is the real America. Raw, brutal, honest, dangerous.

Beautiful girl. I love everything about her.

They are. In every state including the two you mentioned, they are.

They exploit it a bit but you dont see it represented by Hollywood and friends much because they absolutely despise and contemn those people. They occasionally do make like Biker exploitation but not straight up white trash.

The literary scene is even more dismissive of them if anything.

Huff some oxycontin using aluminum foil and you'll understand white trash in less than an hour.

Except we keep seeing books about rednecks, hillbillies, and the like.

Didn't realize roasties posted on this board

>>15250017
that makes it even more fit for a literary treatment

The Redneck Manifesto by Jim Goad

>>15249676
Start with Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor.

>>15249828
Suttree as well.

Are you really so petty that you reported my post for calling you out for being a roastie? You only proved my point, because only a raostie would do something so passive aggressive.

What post did you actually get banned for? Just checked the archive and you didn't post anything offensive.

If mods are banning for holes.jpg, we're back to the fucking dark age of tranny jannies. Holes.jpg is an essential tool for keeping roastie tourists out.

>>15249842
Any fucking faggot that consciously decides to "take on this aesthetic" will never be accepted by those who were born into it, youd be such an obvious outsider, a fetishist. And youd never get it. You would get what it really means to be American. Just some idealized image dreamt up by some hipster faggot who spends too much time online and adopts simulacra of cultures, nicely packaged to be worn and disposed at a whim. Fuck that. God I fucking hate all these fuckers who adopt one internet ideology or another, thinking their somehow in with the real world analogue. It's not fucking real. The ideal doesnt fucking exist you fucking retards.

>>15250959
I literally got banned for Holes.jpg, and they cited that I broke rule number 2:
>You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18

I can only imagine I got falsely reported, because it literally makes no sense (especially considering that I'm 23)

>>15249842
people who live like this have no culture and are unable to produce works of art

Excuse, me? What the fuck is Kid Rock then?

Why is it okay to say "white trash" in American media, but "black trash" would get you cancelled?

>>15252010
BAWIDABABADANGBADANGDIGGY

>>15252051
because "black" is inherently trash. The trash aspect is implied and embedded in the very word. "Black trash" is redundant.

>>15249676
As I lay Dying

>>15250043
because they are only authentic American culture left so cosmopolitans are fascinated by them while hating them at the same time since they represent everything cosmopolitans will never be.>>15251296 is a good case in point. these people, far from having no culture, are the only ones WITH a culture which isn’t entirely commodified. because of this fact, the globohomos might mistake it for no culture since they can’t package it, buy it and sell it.only 3 states have a majority which identifies with Americana at it’s roots. All of which have substantial White working-class, rural populations.

>>15249676
A lot of Southern Gothics fit this criteria. Cormac McCarthy and Flannery O’Connor...

>>15249676
Because of Winn-Dixie

>>15250043
But they're basically explainer books talking about Why These People Voted Trump and how we can rectify their bad morals.

>>15249842
Do this and you'll have the first American masterpiece of the 21st century

Bukowski

I enjoyed DFW's short story Everything is Green.

Nice cans!

Any interest in Outside of US white trash?

>>15249676
no, but I watched 'my name is Earl'

Hey honey could you pick up the kids from school today if I make dinner? thanks babe x

The Redneck Manifesto by Jim Goad

>>15253822
>outside of US white trash

Death on the Installment Plan
Berlin Alexanderplatz
Trainspotting
Pretty much all Irish and Russian fiction

>>15249676
Why would you want to learn about morbidly obese Swamp/Hill/Mountain Men/Women? There speech is untelligible, their hygiene is horrible, and their sense of morality is chained between the bible belt puritans and unhinged degeneracy. Thank god Spics are replacing these people.

>>15253897
Whoa, calm down with the anti-black sentiment.

>>15249676
it's a shame such beauty is wasted on white trashism

>OP's pic
See that watermark? That's a professional model acting all stereotypical as if a southern woman would hold a gun, a bottle, and a cig at the same time. That's no Daisy Duke. Bet her parents aren't even related.

>>15253955
Mutts. They're just mutts.

>>15254135
everyone in the world is a mutt.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Nancy Isenberg's book yet. It's great.

Barry Hannah's Airships
Harry Crews' A Feast of Snakes or really anything of theirs
Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath
William Faulkner (obviously)
bell hooks' White Povery

>>15249676

Probably anything by Bukowski.

>>15249842
This. I'm a frenchman who lived in Memphis, TN (lol) and the south is great.

I can't be the only one that actually likes photography and therefore absolutely despises op pic?
Everything about it is bad and unnatural. There's nothing authentic in that picture, even the way the cans are disposed, how we can see every label of liquor, how the clothes and shoes are clean as they were new and were just torn for this pic.
I hate it. It makes my blood boil.

>>15256770
Gril just wants to show off her boobs before she gets old and fat

>>15256770
it's not a naturalistic photo, it's a caricature, you silly autist.

>>15249842
The real America lost.

>>15252998
>the only ones WITH a culture which isn’t entirely commodified.
This is fucking retarded. All over the midwest and south are the same copy pasted Wall Marts and McDonalds. Our culture has been absolutely incinerated by capitalism.

>>15256903
They seem to be alive and kicking.

>>15256770
>how we can see every label of liquor
Poor and stupid people love to show off their brand loyalty.
You can see this in rap and country music.
I bet if you go on to any given redneck's facebook they'll have posted pictures of themselves similar to the op's pic.

>>15249842
>oh no, you must all be New York/California faggots
No. That’s just what you get to see.

>>15250043
Like what?

>>15249842
Have you ever seen the show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? It’s honestly not a completely immaculate depiction of some parts of America.

>>15249842
>Why aren't Americans exploiting this aesthetic?
are you retarded?

>>15253080
It worked for television. True Detective is a masterpiece. Any other modern examples of this in say film or literature?

The South will rise again. Don't even (You) me.

>>15249842
>honest

>>15257099
Yea, they don't pretend to like everyone just because it's socially obligatory and politically correct. They are honest with their thoughts. If they say they hate negroes, they mean it.
