What are the cultural differences between Sweden and Finland? (best, German, stereotype)

[Davy-040]

Swedish are more tanned and like dance/pop music,
Finnish are more pale and like rock/metal music.

I'd say, about a liter of vodka.

Oh, you mean they have more blonds? I think we should examine this assertion in detail.

Even if you're right, it would be off-topic, as an economic comparison, not cultural.

We're trying to stay on culture. It's not easy. So many distractions.

Swedes are more conformist, politically correct and conflict shy.

That´s an insult.

Sweden is famous for its pop music.

Finland is off the radar and I havent given this much thought but I reckon there must be obvious different cultural markers for the tiny Swedish speaking minority to not have integrated after 500 or more years.
