When a smaller city talks down on a larger city due to insecurity of its own size and/or having less culture, music, art, employment. Usually this happens between two cities that are relatively close to one another.
Some great West Coast examples are Portland and Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Ironically, the smaller city will always talk shit on the larger city, but the larger city will speak glowingly of the smaller one, often referring it to as "charming" or "cute". Often, larger city residents will visit the smaller city on weekend trips and mini-breaks while the smaller city will often have to come out of necessity- i.e. jobs or to see their favorite band play.
San Franciscan: God! I hate those superficial brainless L.A. types! The sun must absorb most of their brain cells because you can't have a single decent conversation down there! Oh, by the way, I have a few job interviews down there because I'm sick of living on unemployment in SF...No I don't have second city syndrome, that place just sucks
Angeleno: Oh my god! I totally went to Frisco and it was like awesome! It's so foggy and cute! And theres all these hills! Oh my god let's go again next weekend and have brunch! At that one place with those guys with all the tattoos! Soooo much fun!
Portlander: Seattle totally sucks! Its full of these corporate liberal hypocrites that are rude and fake...man. Whatever- no, I don't have 2nd city Syndrome. I keep it real in the streets...P-town for life, blood. (stupid handshake/and or tattoo revealing a "portland" icon)...Hey... we need to get tix to see Skrillex play next weekend...yeah, he's only playing in Seattle...
Seattelite: So Jenny and I went down to Portland the other weekend and had brunch at that great new place! What a nice city...we stayed at the co-op bed & breakfast too with the organic rose bushes...beautiful! Let's go down there again soon.

Killa' City Kush (LA Pure Kush x Bubblegum) is the creation of 420Underground Genetics and is one of the most potent marijuana strains out there today. Killa' City Kush is definitely not for the faint of heart average joe smoker.. It was named after the hometown of the breeder who grew up on the dangerous streets of Kansas City which earned the nickname "Killa' City" for being one of the most dangerous cities in the US.
Yo dawg, my boys scored a nugg o dat Killa' City Kush and we was blazin all night.

An artistic expression of releaving flatulence. Named after the desert landscape of Bullhead City, AZ, the bullhead city lawnmower allows you to impress your friends and perfect strangers by getting into the 3 point stance and pretend to start up a lawnmower. Time it perfectly so you rip a fart while pulling the lawnmower cord. This position allows for optimal flatulence volume and is an instant crowd pleaser.
To liven up the lame party, Eric stood on the dining room table and ripped a Bullhead City Lawnmower.

The epitome of gentrification, New York is a prime example of socioeconomic inequality. You see neighborhoods like the financial district where the only people that can afford to live there are insanely wealthy, and then you see neighborhoods like Hunts Point, a source of abject poverty. When the Russians bashed on capitalism, New York was exactly what they were thinking of.
Aaron: Hey you want to go up to New York City for the weekend?
Jane: And spend $30 on a hamburger at Shake Shack? No thanks.

A place in Rockland County where the kids think they are cool and really are just brats who don't know what cool is. The larger percentage think they're black; the others just wish they were and spend momma and daddys bling (not their own...why should they) on urban ghetto clothes. Actually, some of them think they're scene, but really they aren't and they also speak ghetto and use the word ite as if they lost their teeth.
I go to the mall in my baseball hat, which is on either backwards or sideways, with my matching basketball jersey and my pants all the way down past my ass. Hey...my folks bought this outfit, i wouldn't spend any of my money bling on it. No, I don't work either. I am from New City, NY and we all look down at the rest of you. Though outside of new city they have no friends pooblie.
