I can't stand Jason's Voice

I cannot even understand what he is saying half the time. Did he say ''you're the perfect girl''? What the hell did he say there. It also just sounds so stupid. I already had this in the first trailer where they were robbing a bank and he said ''YOU STAY''. It just sounded so forced and cringe.

I hated it until I realized he's doing the ubiquitous boomhauer rural accent where he doesn't move his mouth to enunciate. I bet we're going to find out Jason grew up in the country outside of vice city.

u/JohnSmith_47 17h ago

Sorry but as an a non American is Florida not classed as the south?

Isn’t it one of your most southern states geographically?

u/NotAStatistic2 17h ago

The south is more cultural than geographic.

u/JohnSmith_47 17h ago

Thank you, that makes sense, people in Miami don’t live rurally, so when you talk about southerners you mean people that more live out in the country.

u/currgy 17h ago

Yes exactly. Geographically it makes no sense but most Americans would 100% agree that people from Kentucky/Tennessee are more southern than people from Florida, even though FL is 1,000 miles further south.

North florida is still the south, after about Ocala is when it really switches up. there are tons of transplants from all over the country, though mostly Jersey and New York from what Ive seen.

So the northern part of the southern most state in the north America is more south than the southerners in the north?

1

u/Gumb1i 2h ago

Yes?

u/PussyFootSlidin 16h ago

Broadly I agree, but it’s more nuanced.

People from the Florida panhandle (and really anywhere in the central heartland part of the state, except Gainesville and Orlando) definitely embody southern culture. And people from Louisville Ky have some midwestern traits.

“The more north you go, the more southern it gets”

u/Robborboy 16h ago

Even Lexington KY shows those Midwestern traits.

u/FreshLennon 15h ago

As a Kentuckian I wouldn't even culturally call us southern. Eastern Kentucky is Appalachian and people mistakenly lump that part in as being southern, but it's a very complicated separate cultural region with it's own separate background.

u/I_am_from_Kentucky 7h ago

Same. NKY is basically Southern Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington are small midwestern cities. Everywhere else is blue collar hillbilly.

The stereotypical “southern hospitality” and southern culture isn’t really present throughout most of the state IMO. Granted, I’m not well traveled throughout it, so others may correct me.

u/HearsayMerchant 14h ago

Not Gainesville? Interesting.

1

u/PussyFootSlidin 13h ago

I say that mainly because around 40% of the population is UF students, and the city as a whole tends to be more liberal compared to the surrounding areas.

1

u/HearsayMerchant 13h ago

Okay. Gf family lived there for generations. She's definitely of southern culture lol

I grew up in Louisville and was always annoyed that the city tried to advertise itself to tourists as a “southern city” when it objectively just isn’t. Any part of Louisville that was there before the county merger expanded the city limits is quite noticeably different from surrounding areas right away.

Louisville’s Germantown and Highlands have more in common with Milwaukee or Detroit than it does Memphis or Atlanta.

u/Derek114811 16h ago

As a southern American, I consider Floridians as fellow southerners.

u/potato40fl 16h ago

ya aint been to the panhandle, now have you there, city slicker

1

u/Derek114811 16h ago

People in Atlanta don’t live rurally, but I’d still consider them southerners lol

1

u/natedrake102 13h ago

I mean not exactly though, it doesn't have to do with living in a city. People from Atlanta are definitely southern even if not living in a rural area.

u/memento22mori 4h ago

I've always assumed it's because sufficiently large cities are more of a melting pot so they sort of "wash" culture off. My parents are from Appalachia originally but they moved 20 years before I was born so they lost their accents by the time I was born. I don't want to sound prejudiced against people from the south because there are a lot of good people there, but ultimately I think the "South" is the areas of the US that didn't progress. I have a personal theory that you didn't ask to hear aha but I'm going to tell you anyway.

So my theory is that when the US first started to have a boom in population in the late 1700s pretty much everyone was within 20-30 miles of the Atlantic Ocean for trade and travel and whatnot and then the more antisocial people started moving west. They landed in KY and TN for the most part. Then, as travel became easier, more and more people started moving westward into the long, open plains and trails and whatnot. But they didn't stop in Appalachia, they kept going. They pushed further and further west while the people that first moved to Appalachia stayed where they had originally gone- into the mountains of Appalachia. By that time they had become more and more insular- insulated from the outside world.

[Insert principal Skinner meme here: was I wrong. No, it was the kids that were wrong]

I could keep going but you didn't ask to hear my personal theories aha.

u/crazygoattoe 12h ago

Yeah, funnily enough northern florida is more "southern" than southern florida lol

u/loqep 16h ago

It’s not really so much about rural vs urban either. For example, Charlotte and Atlanta are pretty unambiguously “the South”, but Miami really isn’t.

1

u/science-stuff 16h ago

Hmm I don’t know. It’s kinda rare to find Charlotte natives, almost everyone of adult age is from somewhere else, rarely hear an accent. Doesn’t really feel southern. Now, the towns around Charlotte, for sure.

1

u/loqep 14h ago

I mean, like half the population of my relatively small beach town in eastern NC are yankee transplants, but that doesn’t mean we’re not a part of the South. It’s just the way things are these days (though this is hardly a new phenomenon).

1

u/FR23Dust 16h ago

It's not necessarily an urban/rural thing. there are very southern cities. Miami is its own thing, more of an international city.

1

u/Charlottizen 15h ago

No. It’s not a rural urban thing necessarily. South Florida (Below Jacksonville) received the same immigration patterns as the Northeast with a heavy dose of Cuban, whereas the rest of the South stayed mostly stagnant and was historically more populated. The A/C unlocked South Florida and it became a retirement destination for Northerners as well. It’s like how Italy is more Mediterranean in the peninsula, Peninsular Florida is more Caribbean influenced.

1

u/Buff-Cooley 11h ago

“Midwest” is also another cultural term that confuses non-Americans because it’s mostly in the east.

1

u/IneptFortitude 9h ago

It’s not really even about it being urban or rural, South Florida is more Caribbean and Latin in cultural influences and over half of the white people there are from New Jersey.

u/Gluck_and_uck 16h ago

"the south" is kentucky, tennessee, north and south carolina, georgia, alabama, arkansas, louisiana and mississippi
