I lived in Jax for 4 years and it is definitely not country. Plenty of friends born and raised in Duval county and not anywhere near country, come on man. Generalize much? . Does Jax have countryish parts like up Near yulee? Sure, but below the airport is def not anywhere near country more like a tad smaller Tampa. Do a lot of people like country music up there??? Yes, if that counts as being country then we might as well call FT Lauderdale as country too. Heck cuban buddies of mine in Miami love country music, I’m going to start calling them bumpkins lmao.
The city of Jax is not country or nowhere near country living. It’s like where I grew up in North Jersey being called nasty and industrial because of a city like Newark or Linden. Or Mafioso because there is a crime family in one city and everyone has a northeast accent lol.
