Yeah, too bad those people invented pretty much every form of indigenous American music: blues, jazz, rock & roll, gospel, country, bluegrass, soul, funk, etc. And, if you credit Slint with inventing it, "post-rock," too, whatever the fuck that is.
The southeast has produced some pretty great writers, too.
As far as the most retarded shit I can think of, I submit the following:
--white people with dreadlocks
--Spam
--the lame-ass "whoo" that Don McLean utters when trying to rock out near the end of "American Pie"
--classism (and regionalism masquerading as classism)
--hats or other articles of clothing that blink or light up
--the University of Kentucky's basketball fans
--throwing your guitar over your shoulder a la Cinderella
--raisins in cinnamon rolls
--NASCAR
--Rosie O'Donnell
