>USA >Great Lakes >flyover states >culture Listen here and listen hard. The Midwest (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario) has the best culture and best music of North America, but you don't seem to notice due to fawning over manufactured pop shit from California or country music from the South. You will experience the culture of rust, cheese, and corn, and you will like it. So here you go, friends and foes, a list of at least two artists per state/province. I apologise ahead of time if there are music label restrictions on any of these videos in your country. If you can't access it let me know and I'll try to find you another one.

I have distant relatives in Colorado and Kansas. What is in these states? Are they rich states, famous for anything particular, a nice place to live, etc.?

>>8987351 They... are not part of the midwest, but I will tell you about them anyway Colorado: the Rocky Mountains comprise most of the state's territory. As such, most of Colorado is very scenic. Personally (I don't live there) I've had a snowball fight on July on the top of a mountain due to the elevation difference. Colorado is known in the USA for having the least amount of obesity. Kansas: I know less about this one because I've never been there, but from what I understand most of the state is blanketed by wheat. Kansas is the most equicentric state in the union, lying almost exactly in the middle of it. Most people consider it a "flyover" state because it has only 3 million people in total, as well as not many attractions. Kansas's most important city, Kansas City, is hilariously located on the border of Missouri and Kansas. Hope this helped. If you visit the USA to visit your relatives, I would suggest visiting Colorado over Kansas. You can easily go skiing or snowboarding.

Obama is not "bad," he's mediocre. The Contra affair of Reagan or the bank standards set by Wilson are far worse than what Obama's done. People who think Obama's the scum of the earth were probably born yesterday.

>>8988223 The stereotypical Cali accent is characteristic of the south, mostly. Once you go north of the SF Bay the accent is basically negligible. I too laugh when Midwesterners think they are the only ones who speak "radio English." Have you heard fucking Clevelanders?

>>8988494 everyone has an accent. the only thing that matters is whether that accent deviates too much from the General American accent Just like Scots are probably the biggest blight on British English, Southerners are the biggest blight on American English
