u/Coolredditor2

for example
mexicans say: Wey
Costa ricans say: Mae
Venezuelans say: Chamo
Argentinans say: Bolludo

as their way of saying bro

this is opinion based so we are allowed to throw in some assumptions or to be wrong. even if i don’t agree with you. no judgment here

If you honduran y te preguntan que sos and you say
“ME BRO I AM HONDURIAN”

SO UN CABEZA DE PIJA

I just want to know how many people can honestly name things about our daily life, culture, music, politics, people, events, locations, anything.

I see many clashes, inconsistent definitions.

I just want to know what way would yall define it?

What does the culture need to have?

Edit: Answer the question. don’t deflect it. whether your answer means “just the island countries” or “caricom regions” i need an answer not deflection

as a northerner honduran i need to see yalls opinions and reply with mine

Edit: Holy cow i am getting downvoted

No disrespect to my Salvadoran and Mexican brothers and sisters. you guys have a unique and amazing culture and history

However here is my big problem

A lot of these redditors who have likely not traveled nor lived in the country only emphasize the mesoamerican and central american side of the culture. the media and politics constantly push the copan ruins and while it is beautiful and everyone should take a visit. it is not the only side of honduras. Honduran culture and Salvadoran culture in some aspects are night and day difference

I can speak on this because i am from la ceiba. i have traveled to San pedro sula, olanchito, copan, tegucigalpa, el progeso, roatan. The dominant culture is caribbean. except for the western and southern regions

the western like in copan is mesoamerican. so similar to guatemala

tegucigalpa has strong central American base but the caribbean culture took over its music and food. they eat both corn and wheat tortillas
The music hondurans listen to is punta, salsa, bachata,
reggaeton, reggae, and hip hop

Olancho and the southeast is very cowboy in culture. Similar to country Mexicans who listen to ranchera.

La ceiba, San pedro sula, el progeso, are all very tropical and caribbean in culture.

Heres the kicker too. Most hondurans actually live in the northern regions. not in the western or southern. with the exception of tegucigalpa. so most of us are exposed to caribbean culture.

If anyone wants to debate me and say “no honduras is far more culturally central american” i will be happy to answer and debate but i had lived my whole life in honduras with wild parties, carnivals, tropical branded drinks and food, i drank coconut water like my life depended on it. and i prefer wheat tortillas over corn.
and punta and salsa and bachata music were the base for what we had lived
