intellegent, I think that that is exactly what Oberlanish is. I also think that this might be the definition to Heimish. Where you are not chassidsh nor Litvish. Many Heimishe Yidden do not wear a chassidish Levush, yet they have chassidishe minhagim such as a chassidishe Havara, Mitzva Tanz etc. Similarly, the Heimishe sect is alomost extinct since most are either becoming Litvish or chassidish.
