25+ Midwest Memes for Nice Folks Who Say Ope (May 10, 2024)

The flatness of the region makes us calm, …

One thing I love about the Midwest is how obsessed we all are with cheese. Give us cheddar, give us pepper jack, heck, give us emmental. We will slice it, put it on a Ritz cracker, or grate it over tater tots and call it a casserole. And we will enjoy every gosh dang minute …

Ah, corn. The staple crop of the Midwest. It’s not uncommon to see fields and fields of it while driving through the middle of the country. Isn’t there even a name for the kind of madness that overtakes you when you’ve been staring at cornfields for too long? Corn hypnosis? Or am I making that …

Every region of the country has a certain ethos. The East Coast screams Kennedy vibes, American Revolution history, and crab cakes. The South of course is dripping with sweet tea, country music, and state-specific barbecue sauce. The southwest gives turquoise jewelry, desert landscapes, and artsy aunts.

Nobody understands the Midwest quite like Sufjan Stevens. Not only was he born in Detroit, but he created two incredible concept albums about two gems of the Midwest, Illinois and Michigan.
