"I&amp;#39;m an admitted late-comer to appreciating and enjoying country music&amp;#8212;it&amp;#39;s hard not to watch as many country music awards shows as I do and not find it enjoyable&amp;#8212;but anyone who&amp;#39;s even remotely tuned in to the genre know that &amp;quot;bro country&amp;quot; songs are at a major high point right now, thanks to fellas like Blake Shelton, Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, etc. Their songs are catchy as hell, typically center on the subjects of drinking beer and hanging out with hot girls in jorts, and pop up steadily on the Billboard Hot 100.\nBut now a new trend is cropping up: female artists reacting to the bro country movement. Two new songs have been released that both offer a comment on the movement: &amp;quot;Girl in Your Truck Song,&amp;quot; by Maggie Rose and &amp;quot;Girl in a Country Song&amp;quot; by Maddie and Tae. Both have similar titles, but each have a very different take.\nIn an interview with Rolling Stone, Maggie Rose makes it clear she isn&amp;#39;t poking fun at Florida Georgia Line and those guys but rather paying homage with lyrics like &amp;quot;I can be the girl in your truck song/The one that makes you sing along/Makes you wanna cruise/Drink a little moonshine down...&amp;quot;\nAlternatively, Maddie and Tae are much more about turning the tables on the bros. They call out several songs (Blake Shelton&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Boys &amp;#39;Round Here&amp;quot;; FGL&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Get Your Shine On,&amp;quot; among others) with references and have lyrics that include &amp;quot;Being the girl in a Country song/How in the world did it go so wrong?/Like all we&amp;#39;re good for is looking good for you/And your friends on the weekend, nothing more/We used to get a little respect/Now we&amp;#39;re lucky if we even get/To climb up in your truck, keep our mouth&amp;#39;s shut and ride along/And be the girl in a country song.&amp;quot;\nListen here:\nI&amp;#39;m all for some badass women making waves in music, so I love Maddie and Tae&amp;#39;s take. Sure, they look exactly like the very kind of women the bros are singing about and&amp;#8212;as Jezebel pointed out&amp;#8212;are even signed to Dot Records, which is a part of Big Machine Label Group (a.k.a. the label responsible for, you guessed it, Florida Georgia Line)&amp;#8212;but that doesn&amp;#39;t mean we can&amp;#39;t appreciate the message that they&amp;#39;re sending. Maggie Rose&amp;#39;s song is catchy and fun, but do those guys really need an homage? Isn&amp;#39;t dominating the charts enough?\nBut, fellow country music listeners, what do you think?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
