Dear Aryanna: I've been doing this and going to these since 75. Your revelation isn't anything new. Jesus. You would think BR is Vanillaville.
I don't think it was a personal thing against every human being in BR, but as a general rule, BR is a pretty sleepy mainstream town. I don't think anyone is deceived into believing it isn't. Things take a while to take off here and people have to know without a shadow of a doubt that it's safe to jump in before they do. That being said, there has always been a cool scene and places that cater to original music and art in general, as well as a group of people who support it, but to say that's anything remotely reflecting a sentiment of a significant number in Baton Rouge just isn't true. It's changing, but it's still an SEC town that thinks like one instead of a city it's become over the recent years.

You are correct, its always been there, people just don't get into things they find interesting because their friends don't do it. Baton Rougeans have a problem about worrying what others think. But then they go to Austin and talk about how cool it is there, because it is more socially acceptable.
And thanks to the author for letting us know its ok,and we dont have to mimic New Orleans & Lafayette.
