Like, can you name just a few large cities in certain regions, none at all, wtf is the USA, etc.

The USA is geopolitically isolated in a rather unique way on the global stage where this is an interesting perspective.

I visited NYC for less than a week.

Des Moines , Iowa.

For Canada it's probably Sherbrooke or ~~jonvive~~ Jonquière.

Bonus game: name the linking theme and specific things that link those places. Hint: it's not french things.

EDIT: Famous metal bands come from there. Slipknot from Des Moines, Gorguts from Sherbrooke, Voivod from Jonquiere

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!

And for the other, I'm guessing either poutine or Joli Rouge cider.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do they have either in des Moines?

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Good question. Doubtful. So, not cider punk.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Correct. I mean... incorrect?

Either way, it's not cider punk. It is musical though.
