re: Is Baton Rouge redneck or Cajun?

Baton Rouge is neither Cajun or Redneck. It's suburban.

the BR you grew up in, especially your area, is long extinct

BR is not Cajun or redneck. It's a college town with no real culture/identity besides LSU. (Coming from a lifelong BR resident )

Livingston/WBR = Redneck
NBR= Ghetto
SBR=Wannabe NOLA Elite
NOLA= NOLA
LAF = Cajun

metrosexual

I'm greatly offended that Tangipahoa, Washington, and St. Tammany Parishes are considered Greater New Orleans. They are in the Florida Parishes, as are Livingston, St. Helena, the Felicianas, and East Baton Rouge.

He's right, you know. Baton Rouge is not Cajun.

Baton Rouge is pretty much nothing culturally. All of my friends who grew up here have zero accent or unique style of cooking or really anything.

Not a knock against them or anything and they all admit it as we have discussed it. Typically when they have trouble understanding what people from my hometown are saying or think something we cook is new.

I have cousins that grew up and still live in or around Central and they're redneck and talk with a country redneck drawl.

Part of the West Florida Republic so no.
