Having grown up in Cupcake Land it’s still accurate.
A sizable proportion of the kids I went to HS with are living exactly this life, dressing exactly this way. I found it to be incredibly stifling and yet also, a comfort to be so boring.
I’ve never heard it described as Cupcake Land, but “JoCo” or Johnson County. Inside of which it’s residents referred jokingly to other adjacent counties as being “North of the Wall”.
It is one the starkest contrasts in county and school district wealth vs neighboring areas.
I don’t think a bust is coming to Cupcake Land this time. Sitting on multiple big rail lines, I-35, I-70, and the Missouri while reshoring is happening. Tied closely to healthcare, but not the tech industry.
Cupcake Land is sounding rather attractive.
