A "supper club" is another concept that is unique to the Upper Midwest, I tried to find a definition of a "supper club" and this is what I came up with, pretty interesting!

Supper Club in United States is an American dining establishment generally found in the Upper Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. These establishments typically are located on the edge of town in rural areas [1]. They were traditionally thought of as a “destination” where patrons would go to spend the whole evening, from cocktail hour to enjoying night club style entertainment after dinner [2]. They feature a casual and relaxed atmosphere [2]
People in Kentucky use the word Supper also.

also, to eek: i think hip hoppers in NYC dress like garbage. yalls style has nothing on the swag down here. we don't dress like yall, we dress like us. we don't listen to yalls hip hop, do yalls dances, care about your djs, none of that. come listen to the radio here and you won't hear a single nyc rapper except jay z EVER. PERIOD. we're all local down here. we follow our own fashions and make our own music. historically it may have been different, but listen to Pimp C and he'll tell you how we feel.
