Get the South Bitch Diet mug.A subgenre that seems to be widely misinterpreted and unrecognized, it is encompassed by liturature, film, and music.
Southern Gothic inspiration arises from the macabre, politically incorrect and disturbing side of the American South, exclusively exposing the flawed nature of Southern society. The popularity of the subgenre peaked in the 1940's - 1950's, although it made first appearances much earlier in works of literature by famous writers such as Edgar Allen Poe, William Faulkner, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Events that may unfold when indulging in Literature and film:
• Environmental decay, disturbing and mentally unbalanced characters, political tyranny, small town poverty, murder, and other events involving death.
Southern Gothic music (Gothic Americana) displays a mixture of Alternative, Country/Folk, Southern Rock and sometimes Bluegrass. Lyrical Inspiration arises from similar events found in Southern Gothic literature:
•Poverty, decay, disturbing characters, religion & the Devil, alcohol, gambling, betrayal (political/romantic), murder and the death of loved ones.
It is not uncommon for a Southern Gothic song to be narrated in first-person, as though the artist was personally involved with whatever dark events unfolded.

Having read the Southern Gothic novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the social and racial injustice are predominant themes.
If you like powerful, old movies with sinister themes, Southern Gothic films are just for you.
"The Bottomless Hole" by The Handsome Family screams Southern Gothic. "Sink Hole" and "That Man I Shot" by Drive-By Truckers are also fine examples. Southern Gothic playlists can be easily discovered.
When listening to Southern Gothic music, the accent adds rather than annoys.

Welcome to south, your meth lab home for the next 4 years. Start your day off getting blinded by the sun from the bus lot, then walk across campus back and forth to your classes. Just for teachers that don’t care about their job to tell you that you can go get a cup of dookie ass coffee. From “WrItiNg club” to “cHrIsTiAn AtHleTICS” there are clubs galore to fill your brain with useless information and waste your time. You better not come on rainy days because you will be herded into the cafeteria to smell the pacific tuna smell of the school thots. But wait don’t try to sneak out because the officers don’t care either. Many cliques from the thots in the cafeteria and in front of G to the emotional trash at Emo island you can find it all even retards that somehow passed to 9th grade. Not as bad as Statesville but not as good as lake Norman. Then eat lunch with nowhere to sit while people take your chairs for a hour straight “ sit down or move on”. The only food here that is semi good is the McDonald’s fry’s they serve and the frozen chicken strips. If your 4th block is in upstairs A Good luck getting out. From the bus lot you can wait 20 minutes for the bus to arrive.but from there you thought you were done with middle school but yet you have to sit with the little gremlins.

Get the South Iredell high mug.A deliberate insult said to a person's face by a Southerner who is thought to be giving high praise, but is in fact thoroughly insulting the person. The slam is said in a heavy Southern drawl so as to fool the person into thinking you are stupid.
Example 1:
Upon seeing a woman approach wearing a hideous dress:
Southern Slammer: "Where eva did you get that dress? I simply must know. It takes my breath away!
Loosely translated: "That is the fugliest dress I have ever seen. I want to know where you got it so I can avoid that store like the plague!"
