Basically this.
Memphis style ribs are served with the sauce on the side. That doesn't mean every bbq joint in Memphis does this, but that's what the style originally was. And heavy on the rub.
St Louis style ribs are served wet, basted with sauce.
I was born and raised in Memphis, yet do my own ribs St Louis style. Go figure.

Color me stupid but. I believed St Louis style ribs to be a manner of cutting a rack whereas Memphis style is a manner of dry seasoning at serving without sauce.

Don't know about Memphis style ribs, but St. Louis style ribs is most definitely a specific cut of ribs.

What style of cut?

Spare ribs with the ends cut off.

Ok yeah. Most Memphis joints serve baby backs.

St. Louis style ribs (or St. Louis cut spare ribs) are St. Louis style when the sternum bone, cartilage, and rib tips (see below) have been removed. The shape is almost rectangular.
Kansas City style ribs are trimmed even more closely than the St. Louis style ribs, and have the hard bone removed.

St Louis is a cut (trimmed spare ribs) and a style (wet). For many years, I use a modified version of a recipe for st louis style ribs. It starts with st louis cut spare ribs and consists of a dry rub (before cooking), a mop (while cooking), and a sauce (near the end of cooking).
Memphis is a style (dry).
JMO, lots of different opinions about bbq and not really worth arguing.
