NYC is living off its rep from the past. The originality of the music has fallen off since the early 90s, the restaurants have been replaced by chains and overpriced boutiques, and gentrifiers have pretty much made every neighborhood a replica of the east village.
If you grew up here in the late 90s, and the 2000s, theres nothing really to brag about here.
I've lived here for nearly 20 years and outside of Manhattan (which has world class everything), it is the most overrated place in the world. There's nothing special about the Bronx, Queens, Staten island or Brooklyn.
NO PLACE IS MORE OVERRATED THAN BROOKLYN.
NYC never really feels like a "home" IMO. People rarely live and grow up in one place for long (not by choice)
Philly, Baltimore, Cleveland etc are what I consider a "city" ora "town" Everyone follows the same teams, goes to the same schools, live and grow up in whatever neighborhood they were born in.
There's an identity that people have there that they really don't have that in NYC
Chances are, if you live in any borough (outside of Staten Island and certain pedestrian parts of Queens), you've probably moved 5 times as a kid, attended atleast 8 different schools and support the Mets, Yankees, Giants or Jets....but never all of them at once, and two people at any given time are probably routing against one of the two teams.
In places like Philly, Baltimore, and Cleveland...everyone there generally supports the same team (unless you're willing to cheer for a team out of town), everyone owns a house, and you grew up there your entire life...knowing your neighbors, the elders there since you were born. And generally you went to the same schools with most of your classmates in the same school system K-12. There's a certain connection that you have with the city in, that you really can't get here.
It's just different in a better way

Outside of a couple hundred thousand commuters to the city and weekend partygoers, Jersey does their own separate thing, we do ours.

Yeah it feels like that...
Its confusing yall wouldn't understand how The ny metro is setup it's kinda unexplainable...the stinkier parts of jerz are mostly near 1 and 9 and the turnpike industrial sections from secaucus to elizabeth lot of plants and polluted cancer filled waters
The Meadowlands and the Port Newark industrial waters is what you're describing.

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
Say Word??!!
What part of Brooklyn are you finding these broads? Brooklyn got dimes. Go to Coney Island in the summer weekend you will see the best beautiful women of Brooklyn on full display. And further west? You mean Staten Island? I agree with that part. Queens and Staten Island lowkey got some of the baddest broads of all races.

I dont come in here to hate on NYC.
But its always nice to have civic pride. Nothing wrong in loving where you're from OP. Houston is a lovely city.
And we need to stop slandering NYC. Let the New Yorkers love themseleves.

Yo what y'all think of my new crib?
Sht is nice and the rent ain't even that bad, Only $5,000 a month
It's small, but I'm not gone be in there anyway? Just enough space to smash New York hoes and sleep
Ight you got this one, imma let you rock
I can respect this viewpoint and is why I always said Chicago is one of the only places I'd probably move to. It seems like it wouldn't be too much of a change/culture shock to move there. Keyword being seems.
I've always been dying to try one of those famous Chicago hotdogs with all the onion and peppers and shyt. Are they as good as they look fam?
The day I get my hands on one of them shyts I'm straight inhaling that bytch. #noteethBut I'm anemic and them chi town winters will probably end a nikka.
Ight imma let you slide too
