[Preface: there’s many groups in DC, including several I belong to such as South American, LGBT that not everything below fully covers…]
That can definitely be true about the culture of DC, lol. Latte Liberals who like to Brunch and I don’t know the word, polished? Jusgementala but. Or maybe I’m projecting.
I was recently in Seattle. I absolutely loved it. Great, beautiful city. Great people. Feels large and global. But man, I was really taken aback by how many people had tattoos all over their bodies, necks, faces, a grungey looking fashion scene, Pearl Jam and heavy metal flyers and scenes in many places including the airport lol. Basically, a lot of stuff looked like Pizza Planet or Sid’s bedroom from Toy Story lol.
Not hating on it, I absolutely love Seattle & the people and culture but I totally am definitely a brick compared to those people. I would feel so ridiculous trying to be as cool as them…So I definitely can see the DC critiques some have given when I contrast it to a place like Seattle.
Philadelphia I definitely vibe with their culture. In another life, I must’ve lived in Philly because I just totally love everything about it despite not having been there many times.
