Oklahoma is kind of Southern, country, and Great Plains in one state.
Even Mississippi and Alabama have different regions (gulf coast, delta, Appalachia).
Is hard to find a state that is geographically uniform.
People keep saying great plains, great plains, great plains like it is a uniform cultural mass.
It is not.
The great plains run from the Midwest deep into the south.
Similarly, Appalachia runs from the north east, Midwest and southern US.
Just because parts of the northeast area in Appalachia doesn't mean it's not northeast. Similarly because some of the south is on the great plains doesn't mean that is not the south.
We often mix geographic regions, with cultural or census designated regions. Its not the same thing

New Orleans isn't even that big. (1.3 million metro) How is it so urban?
Show me some pictures!
New Orleans was the biggest city in the south before the automobile boom.
The streets in the core in and around are very narrow so the city is very walkable.
There are major grocers in the CBD, along with lots of residential, hotel and commercial.a real live where you work city which is rare for the south. Some of the trolley lines are over 100 years.some might be among the oldest continously running trolley lines in the US.
The CBD is packed with densely populated areas around it which is another uncommon thing for the south. The close in neighborhoods also kept their trolleys so they are easily connected to the CBD.
I was just in Tulsa. Nothing southwestern about it.
Nothing southwestern about OKC either.
Tulsa seemed decidedly eastern and OKC reminded me a lot of Texas.
That's why I don't go for that Texas is just Texas BS. It's not the at different from its neighbors
