Things that are okay to do in Mogadishu is not okay to do in other cities
And Vice versa

the isolation period from 1989-present
Where each Clans sticked to their regions
Might have caused this
 
Nope

There are cultural differences within Somalia.
For example, the way people behave with in-laws etc. For example where I am from, it is ceeb for the girl's father to stay at her house for days. But it is okay for a father to stay at his sons house for however long he wants, as his sons money is his money. But I heard among some Southern Somali circles, they don't care.

This is just one example.

We have always had cultural differences, the same way we have linguistic differences.

Also, some things have been adopted through intermarriage and migration. For example, Buranbur is originally from Bari, but now all Somalis do it, even though you can see the variations even in the way they read the buranbur or the dance adaptions.

Dirac, I think from Djibouti.

Etc.etc.

Buranbur is basically poetry women composed for weddings . Thats not really something that could have originated from one region in somalia like a local dance could
 
Every country in the world even the most homogenous one has variations/differences in culture from region to region.
This. People from Tokyo/Kanto region have stereotypes of how Japanese people from Osaka/Kansai behave. And that is the most homogenous country in the world.
