Everyone knows Hot Chicken was perfected in New York by a 24 year old twig-boy named Slevin
This meme is definitely out of date, hipsters are certainly into the whole "new south" shit, although it's arguably still in it's early phases relative to others. Nashville, Austin, Atlanta, Ashville, ect.
Also New Orleans has always been cool.
My theory is that Trump made the North "stink" a bit because he's from NY and flipped a bunch of rust belt states. Plus the South is growing very rapidly.
I mostly just think it's that the south is growing rapidly, and the way in which it's growing is that it's becoming a lot more diverse. Southern cities are known for good food, music, ect, so it makes sense that people would move there rather than to the midwest.
Trump has nothing to do with it, as the rust belt was never really hipster in anyway, minneapolis and chicago are the more hipster midwestern cities anyways. Although the new south mostly does describe highly educated black people moving from all over the US to Atlanta, whereas the "hipster wave" was mostly white suburban kids returning to big cities essentially everywhere. The later describes what happens in Austin, Nashville, Ashville, ect, though.
The South has always been more diverse.
The growth and the diversity also started under Bush, going back 20 years now. Trump/the Rust Belt flip was a sort of ceremonial coup de grace.
Reminder that Vice was founded by the same guy as the Proud Boys. They've scrubbed every mention of Gavin from all their material (even though the Dos and Don'ts section was a huge part of their popularity), but he was great friends with the other co-founders for decades, has always been a racist asshole, and he was a serious contributor to the entire culture/brand.
I honestly believe without their coverage of Charlottesville and showing just how brutal the hit and run was and how openly fash the chuckle fucks were being the accepted narrative would have have been some “both sides” bullshit.
idk what you say about vice or what cool thing it has done.. they are absolute rubbish.
like, worse than anything i can think of.
Such a relatable meme to me. It's so true and I think we've all been there
Athens, GA is the music capital of the country don't @ me.
This meme is about 10 years out of date. The Left loves the South now because they get to fantasize about the South harboring a secret silent majority of "folks" who AKTUALLY want a multiracial social democracy.
where does this animosity towards people who use “folks” and “y’all” come from? I use both without even thinking about it and have been insulted as a faux southerner or some shit

If you don't have a southern accent ,it reeks of imitating Obama.

I've seen it claimed as appropration of AAVE.
I’ve heard 5x more old white racists use the slang folks and y’all lmao. Idk seems like such a small thing to get hung up on
It's phony language used by Obama clones. I swear to God they teach it in McKinsey training as a way to sound more "down to Earth" when you're addressing a "more general" or "less educated" audience.
Online, no one has the context like the would in real life (i.e. if it's some random person speaking vs Obama)
idk abt folks but y'all is not exclusive at all to AAVE it's 100% southern. I've used it my entire life and so has just about everyone else who lives in Texas lol
It's fake as fuck. If you live in New York or Boston fucking talk like a new yorker or a bostoner instead of what some IT professional that locks his doors whenever he goes below the mason-dixon line thinks people down south talk like
