Isn’t Lafayette more purely southern Louisiana?
Yep

What town or city best represents Louisiana's culture?
Louisiana has multiple different cultures, there's no "Louisiana Culture", IMO.
Lafayette is essentially the capital of Acadiana/Cajun Culture.
New Orleans has it's own culture.
North Louisiana is more of traditionally southern culture.

Louisiana doesn't have one singular culture. North LA isn't the same as South LA, and even SWLA and SELA are different. New Orleans as said above is it's own thing as is Baton Rouge.

Even then, the prairie Cajun culture has differences from the swamp Cajun culture in Lafourche/Terrebonne/Plaquemines.

As the capital and home of the state's flagship university, it probably is the closest thing to an amalgamation of all of the state's "cultures" as you are going to find.

Agree. Lafayette the capital of prairie Cajuns. What's capital of swamp Cajuns?

It will have to be decided in a death match between Houma and Thibodaux.

Probably Bunkie. It seems to have more elements of North and South Louisiana than most other towns but even that doesn't really capture everything. There are several distinct cultures in Louisiana so I am not sure any one town captures all of it.

IMO, Lafayette area represents the good stuff about Louisiana. Authentic cajun food, music, language, hunting/fishing etc.
Baton Rouge (and to an extent Shreveport) represent the other side of the coin. Corrupt politics, dysfunction, poverty and and too reliant on a football team to support the economy.

They say this about Florida, but it can be used for Louisiana too. The further North you go, the more Deep South it gets.

It’s gotta be Lafayette.
LC is too much like Southeast Texas.
Shreveport is too much like East Texas.
Monroe is too much like Arkansas.
BR is a little too close to Mississippi.
Alexandria is too much like…? Not Louisiana culture.
Not a clear cut #1 but I’d say Lafayette is it with maybe BR being #2.
Acadiana overall. Not just Lafayette. The Acadiana region is the answer here.
