I'm fairly certain that the lack of "culture", at least in the sense you're talking about, has less to do with Southern Maryland specifically, and more to do with rural areas in general.
I've driven back and forth coast to coast across the fruited plain, and compared to most of it, Lexington Park and Waldorf are booming friggin' metropolises.
The only thing "unique" that I can see about Southern Maryland is not the lack of things to do. It's not the rednecks. It's not the hick-factor. It is the mix of indiginous people (loving referred to as SMIB's) and those people who would ordinarily be in more urban areas, except for Pax which has imported a large number of "cosmopolitan" types.
And the utter contempt that both groups of these people seem to feel for each other.
