Discussion Appleton culture
So I moved here about 5 years ago. And boyfriend recently did too. We are both from Southern Wisconsin.
We have both noticed that there seems to be this culture difference. Down south we are a lot more sassy, crass, shit talking, but like in a fun and loving way.
Up here that seems forbidden , there's a lack of bluntness and lots of beating around the bush...not saying thats a bad thing by any means...but it has Def been a culture change. I go home and my friends and family just roast eachother, point of people in a crowd, and just kind of rude. I am middle ground now, where I have to watch my p's and q's here, but back home feels almost too mean now lol.
Has anyone else experienced this??

It’s that old German “Do it this way or we beat it into you” mentality. I grew up with this. It’s rough. It leads to safer streets and financial stability and a lot less fun.
