Yea, you don’t get any more coonass than Mamou\Ville Platte
Even Bunkie and Eunice are probably more Cajun than laffy. Camo jacket, blue jeans, and Ariat shite kickers might as well be a damn tuxedo to them baws.

The Cajun "triangle" - roughly from Lake Charles over to - say, Breaux Bridge and up to Marksville, obviously covering virtually all of the state below I-10 for that same area. Now, there are pockets of Cajun or Cajun/Creole hybrid culture outside of the classic triangle, notably parts of the River Parishes and Bayou Lafourche.
I doubt my definition will garner a consensus, but that's how I (as a non-Cajun) see it.

Yeah boy! When I think cajun,
The first thing I think of is the family name ROBERTSON.
Dumb motherfricker.

It's pronounced ro-bear-son Cajun style

This. It's definitely not to be lumped in with Livingston and east.
I am actually not so sure that you can do that with the part of East Baton Rouge south of I-10.

South of Ville Platte, East of Lake Charles, West of New Orleans, and down to the coast.

Met some baws from Larose one time, they were some cajun MFs. They cooked some mean fried shrimp and fish though.

Lafayette PARISH
Evangeline
Lafayette may be in the center of Cajun Country, but it's no different than Lake Charles or Baton Rouge in that, because of all of the industry and being larger than a town, it attracts many different cultures. Lafayette likes to act Cajun, but it really isn't.
But if we are being honest, what we view as "cajun" today is more or less having a lot of cajun/french last names, largely agricultural, and having a few old cajun traditions. There are so many different cajun subcultures that what one person considers cajun another does not.
The way my mawmaw, a cajun from Creole, cooks is different from the way a cajun in Vermilion Parish or Ville Platte cooks. The way they speak the cajun language varies slightly. The way they celebrate some holidays even varies slightly.

My wife is a Lafayette area native and she is definitely not of the “below I-10” mindset. Just curious. Only part of Louisiana that I lived in is BR and that’s not Cajun apparently
If you took La History in 8th grade, you'd remember the Cajun Triangle.

Sound like you hate living in Evangeline Parish, why keep living there?
Posted on 12/19/17 at 8:29 am to Parmen
Evangeline Parish is very Cajun, but the most francophone parish in the state is still Vermillion Parish. I can tell you for a fact that Erath, Abbeville, Gueydan, Kaplan, etc. are very very coonass

What about the River Cajuns? My ancestors were among the first from Canada and settled in St. James in 1765.
This area is the one most ignored especially by those "Prairie Cajuns", yet St. James and Ascension parishes was where the very first Acadian refugees landed and settled in Louisiana from 1764 -1770. This is the truest capital of Cajun Country.
