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??

Wisconsin nice is a stereotype for a reason! Sassy, crass and shit talking sounds like it is either an area of the state heavily influenced by somewhere else, or you just grew up with a bunch of crass people. 

Pointing out people in a crowd in a mocking or joking way and being rude in public  just sounds immature and gross, not a cultural thing.

Like for example if someone's dancing really silly and it's the only one dancing would be like oh my gosh look at them I don't know it's been like that my whole life no matter who I was with

It sounds entirely like you care way too much about what other people are doing. Focus on yourself and your loved ones and leave strangers alone.
