Tbf, I'm from the south and I don't think the music is all that great. I guess bluegrass has its songs, but there isn't much else I'm into from the area.

And poo poo, I don't know anything about the mythology, really. Do we have cryptids I don't know about or something? I would like to know if we do!

E: spelling.

its more local haunted areas and poo poo like that. although lousiana has alot of voodoo and other carribean beliefs that are cool but i dont count those as specific to the south since they are from the carribean. Also the music scene isnt just blue grass / country. Theres alot of hip hop and rock to but the only music scene i like from the south is the weird poo poo coming out of atlanta but even then it alot of it is miss. We do have great food and we are way less segregrated then the north / west coast. the south is terrible but the entire country is terrible.

This is a kickstarter for a goon-made game called Southern Monsters that talks about the cryptids and folklore of the area that I was very glad to back.

Some major Italian chefs got snotty ~10 years ago about how garlic is "lower-class" and "real Italians" should be above its use, and since then there's been a continuing debate between Italians who love their garlic and Italians who secretly want to be French.

The french (rightly) love garlic. In the UK growing up this was the stereotypical image of a french person

I got drunk one night and decided to watch a clip of my favourite quest in farcry 3. I saw a comment by some dude about how it was really hard and took him a bunch of tries so I thought it would be hilarious to troll him by saying "it was easy, I passed first try and I'm a girl"

The things that are Caribbean totally count. Most of the awesome things about southern food and culture come from the Caribbean and Africa. Food in Northeast Brazil is almost identical to food in the deep South because it all originated from the same places and people. I find it ironic when some shitheel racist white guy goes on about southern pride because most of the things they are proud of came from black people.

This. Even in North Carolina, where they had a rich tradition of slaughtering and roasting hogs as a community, that all came from poor black folks sharing what they had so everyone got something to eat. Pretty much everything great in Southern culture is taken or created by a black person, and I'll never stop shaking my head at idiot yokels for it.

My current employer, a community history organization, has a face book page to talk about whatever historical work here that seems interesting. Recently posted about trying to find covered up deaths at the residential schools, which brought all the idiots out of the woodwork. Red is page admin, with my assistance as far as sources, since it’s my field. Green is me.



For context on res schools, I rambled on them earlier in this thread.
