Kentucky ain't Southern either. I can get a Burrito in DC, that doesn't mean they're part of SoCal or the South West. Tennessee is the farthest north I would say the word Southern applies. And half of both those states is actually Appalachia. The Western side of Kentucky is very much Mid-West.

And yes I've visited and lived in the area, and in the South.

Kentucky is literally part of the South. This is a weird purity test.

No it really isn't. It's half Appalachian for starters.

Wait, so now if the Appalachians are in your state, you aren't in The South?

Because, uh... https://www.arc.gov/appalachian-states/

Yes I'm aware of how far the Appalachians officially extend. You forgot Scotland. No the mere presence of them does not indicate Appalachian culture. Yes the area from North Georgia to West Virginia and mid Maryland to Mid Kentucky is a distinct culture.
