Hillbilly is a term referring to certain people who dwell in rural, mountainous areas of the United States, primarily Appalachia but also the Ozarks. Owing to its strongly stereotypical connotations, the term is frequently considered derogatory, and so is usually offensive to those Americans of Appalachian heritage

So there was a show called "The Beverly Hill Billies." The term Hillbilly has to do with people from HILLS, as in the Appalachian mountains

Redneck is a term for a white male who spends his time out on a farm, or field, outdoors, and has a farmer tan. Hardworking because they work in the sun. A lifestyle.
If you actually live in a place where there are truly hillbillies and/or rednecks you would know. I don't think anyone in this thread even really qualifies.
hillbilly is a specific term though.
