Social media has a way of spreading even the most niche types of tunes and musical mashups together, delivering unique sounds and unconventional genre twists of tired song tropes. Country music is traditionally associated with rural America, Southern small-town demographics that skew politically and culturally conservative, and therefore often anti-LGBTQ+. The genre is also seeing a comeback on the charts, with controversial country stars @morganwallen and @jasonaldean (who has recently doubled-down on his drama) having songs in Billboard's Hot 100 top 10. (Additionally, @lukecombs' unnecessary cover of out singer Tracey Chapman's iconic "Fast Car" is also in the top 10.) Country music has only welcomed a few queer singers like @orvillepeck, @tjosborne, @brandicarlile, and even @lilnasx. Breaking into the industry can be difficult, but the viral sensation @iamdixondallas has brought country music to the mainstream, but with an extremely gay spin. Dallas, whose real name is Jake Hill (@iamjakehill), has not identified if he is gay or a part of the LGBTQ+ community, but he's picked up a lot of steam on @Twitter and @TikTok, thanks to his highly sexualized gay ballad, "Good Lookin.'" Using traditional country music tropes, like descriptive romantic verses and singing in a deep southern drawl, Dallas' music is everything a country music fan has come to know and love except it comes with an explicit gay twist. In particular, Twitter users were obsessed with the lyrics.โ
