>>6894173
literally everything is so much bigger in america

lol what were you expecting? it's not paris

>>6894186
bcuz ppl r fat lmao

murica

All super cities are like that because SHOCKER there are actually people living and working there and not playing dressup and going to arts school on daddy's money and playing around next to the oh-so-cool old buildings

>>6894208
living with my parents and having a job

Looks like the G? People thinking NY is /fa/ is the Great Myth of the Midwest. It's no better or worse than any other city in the States

>>6894200

For real where do all you niggers get your money?

>>6894199
please tell me that was an actually baby and not a miscarriage.

it makes me physically ill when I hear about people having processions for their unborn cell blobs

protip: no megacity is universally fa. there are large portions that are fa but when you have a city that has 10+ million people and an entire economic empire, people don't have time for fashion shit. the only cities that are 100% fa are tiny, irreverent european cities/towns that are old, old money and everyone just rides on the success of their forefathers hard work and the population of the city every expands

>>6894208
job + low expenses (living w/ parents, limited social life) = high disposable income

>>6894234
*never expands

>>6894234
hardly any city is universally /fa/, but london and new york have a higher /fa/ggot:pleb ratio than nowheresville tennessee

>>6894238
>living w/ parents, limited social life

the first time i went to nyc i noticed there are no alleyways, so the garbage is always on the streets. mountains of garbage and the smell never goes away, even in the winter

>>6894186
Our surplus of freedom requires everything be larger, louder, tastier and better than lesser nations.

>>6894245
that's true i'm just saying people on /fa/ actually fantasize that these international cities are like some scifi utopia world and not just another city with cool buildings and rich people

>>6894210
I know a dude, dating a dutch chick, he knocked her up. She got an abortion, then insisted they have a funeral for the aborted fetus. Homeboy played along.
They buried it in her backyard and planted a tree on top.

>>6894249
I've heard this complaint a lot too, that the place smells fucking awful

>>6894264
thats just weird man
>fetuses are inhuman enough to kill but human enough to have a funeral for
at least pick one or the other!

>>6894266
>>6894249
That's disappointing, I always imagined New York to smell how Bowery Electric sounds.

>>6894249
A lot of Paris smells bad too. Smells like cat pee.

For some reason when I moved to Chicago I expected to see people wearing designer shit on the street semi-frequently. I saw one faggot in a rick tee once but that's it.

>>6894293
Chi city fam where you live so i can mow you down bitch nigga

>>6894311
lincoln park is effay

>>6894293
Hang around coffeeshops in Pilson and you'll see Rick-freaks at the same semi-regular basis as any other fringe fashion.

>>6894173

That ugly old fashioned pleb tier subway car.

>>6894742
That's part of the New York charm, baby.

the New York City streets are more /fa/. subways are for plebs like me

effay people use taxis and shit right?

>>6894789
no
taxis are for old people

>tfw peoplewatching out my window all day for inspo

>>6894789
Taxis? No, never, what a massive waste of money.
Public transit? Sure, if it's convenient. Personally I try to walk everywhere anyway because I must have been jewish in a past life or some shit and hate spending money on anything non-essential (other than clothes obviously lel).

>>6894803

>>6894803
lol checked the metadata you took that just now

>>6894789
Depends on where you have to go and what time it is. If I want to hustle a quick thirty blocks at 2am on a weeknight, I'd rather not wait for a train that only comes every 30 minutes.
If there's traffic or the trains are running proper, there's no point in using one.

>>6894742

>Letting inferior black skins on your sterile white public transport.

>>6894865
>subway
>sterile

top lael.

also nobody is superior when you're using the train or public transportation in general.

>>6894894

Amsterdam's metro is quite nice, it's just the black skins ruining it for everyone.

>>6894865

Thanks, gonna pay you a visit now.

I have the lube ready

>>6894199
I remember that story. Their baby accidentally shot herself when handling their gun.

>>6894742

Thats shit too. Best metro was the Buenos Aires Line A before they bought those London Underground wannabe chinnese trains.

>>6895173

Forgot pic

is my subway effay?

Victoria line master race

>>6895177
toot toot! all aboard the dadcore express!

Boston is p shit.
>them broken seat
>dat $275 a month

>>6895211
victoria is the GOAT train station

>>6895211
Brixton is the only /fa/ place on the line

>>6895277
Agreed but I have a boner for the whole victoria area lol
All those amazing buildings everywhere
>>6895293
See above

northern line m0
trust

>>6895316
>>6895318

I was literally about to point out that the northern line is clearly most /fa/

>>6895173

wot i used line A the other day and it was like pic related

now i wanna check the wooden one

Fucking plebs not having a streamlined 500km/h maglev train.

>>6894593
>>6894311
>>6894293
If you wanna see some true /fa/, go to Oak Street, where the real movers and shakers shop. Seriously, there's a Hermes Prada and Barneys all on the same corner, it's superluxe /fa/ paradise. Also check out Gallery Aesthete, they've got Rick/Julius/Boris and all that good avant shit.

The only thing I hate is the fucking ex-fratboy investors who drive their Ferrari down the street dressed in Burberry polos

>>6895499
If I come in obviously looking like a total pleb will they kick me out of barneys if I do nothing but try on expensive shit?

>>6895533
I posted a thread basically on that same topic a while ago.

They won't kick you out, but they'll stare at you and do their best to make you feel as self conscious as they can. They don't want the commoners destroying their image.

I'm in Chicago too, if you want to have a partner in pleb some time.

>>6895499
>Gallery Aesthete

I've been meaning to check that place out but this feel >>6895533 has kept me away. My wardrobe is pretty basic poor student-core atm and I would be embarrassed to enter such a pretentious establishment in an outfit that cost less than 2K. I know it sounds really beta but I also respect that they have an image to maintain and I haven't really earned my way into it.
>class divide feels

>nyc
>fa

nah

>>6894911

I was there last weekend. Amsterdam's a wonderful city and the public transportation is great, but I only rode on the street tram things.

>>6895533
>>6895599
>>6895601
plebs dude

just tell them to fuck off and if they dont want you to buy their shit you'll just buy it online for 1/3 the price.

but i doubt theyre doing anything weird tbh.

>>6895601
>I would be embarrassed to enter such a pretentious establishment in an outfit that cost less than 2K.

The great thing about /fa/'s criticism is that if you ever get not shit on on /fa/ then you'll feel supremely confident in real life. Or more accurately you'll think that everyone else looks more shit than you. It's a great feeling.

>>6895617

How many times have you been robbed?

What are high-end boutiques like if you obviously don't have the money to be buying?

>>6895659

None, ever. I've been to Brussels and I'm kinda paranoid, plus there's always gonna be someone easier to rob anyway.

Plus, good luck getting anything out of my fucking raw denim pockets without me noticing, like I can barely get my wallet out when I want to.

>>6895685
according to this guy
>>6895546

>>6894199
i don't really blame the closest survivors when they don't dress up for the funeral. everyone else should put the effort in

>that old ass train

>>6895204
glasgow?

>>6894207
>It's no better or worse than any other city in the States
Yeah, nah it's definitely worse.

>>6894238
someone at work asked me why i go out for lunch every day instead of bringing lunch

>"I-I don't buy much stuff. M-mostly just music and beer. So I like g-going out for lunch..."
>tfw

>>6894207
It depends on what area you're in. Manhattan is full of /fa/ people, and tumblrcore dudes and girls.

The fashion district is obv. filled with fashionable people, boring models, and shittily dressed people who work behind the scenes at shows.

the qt girls are in the garment district

>>6895878

not really. Manhattan is full of a lot of tourists and working types over the age of 30 who dont give a fuck.

of course broadway/soho is a little different, but still full of so many tourists who look like goofballs.

williamsburg is way more /fa/ than any part of manhattan could wish to be, mainly because it's not flooded w tourists (and residents on average are much younger)

>>6895908
This guys got it right.

Lower East Side is either filled with homeless people (or homeless looking people) and short, chubby Asian people who dress in supreme

>>6894173

>>6895908
>williamsburg residents young
>williamsburg not full of tourists

What is this, 1998? The youngsters all moved to Bed Stuy because they got priced out of W'Burg which is now full of michelin starred restaurants and $3M apartments.

Would it be ok to live in Queensbridge, like mah niggas Nas, Noyd and Hav, or would you get shot/robbed?

>live in Miami
>almost always to hot for jeans
>everyone wears bright colored polos with bright colored chinos.

I fucking hate chinos.

>>6895998

You'd have to get on a wait list, and then you'd get shot and robbed.

Long Island city is expensive now, but you could get a real apartment nearby with no waitlist.

>>6896006
If you don't like the heat them move. You're just as bad as the people that live up north and think 55 is freezing

>>6895984

lol stfu. there are tons of young people in williamsburg still. and what do you think the tourist/resident ratio is in manhattan compared to williamsburg?

>>6895908
No, I got my haircut in Mid-town and there were tons of /fa/ dudes that made me feel ugly as fuck and like shit.

Garment district is really nice 2

>>6896083
oh and, williamsburg is full of hipsters and homeless teenagers who live across the bridge in C-squat

>>6896073
the youth population is taking a shift back to Manhattan because williamsburg is absolutely fucking ridiculously expensive right now

>>6896073

there are tons of young people in the village too, that doesn't really mean what you think it means.

aside from ridiculous exceptions like the stretch of 5th avenue between 47th and 57th, or broadway between houston and canal street, the tourist ratio in williamsburg is pretty similar to the tourist ratio anywhere else in manhattan below 59th street.

>>6896006
i wear jeans here daily in miami. i have since i was born. what in the fuck is wrong with your wack ass body. plenty of people wear jeans here

>>6895737
While I agree with that, there's something wrong with putting ICP stickers on your kid's coffin.

>>6896186
then asking Radio stations for free merch. because your baby died. weird shit.

>>6894251

Hahah that's cute

lol

>>6895914
True, my brother lives on rivington, he's one step away from become a bro alcoholic

>>6894186
I don't know.

I love the Tube.

You get some crazy fucking people in there.

Last time I was in london I got drunk as fuck with some randos.

>tfw i will never live in new york city, ride the subway and see crazy shit everyday and collect those stories to tell my friends
heLP ME

>>6896509
I've been doing this for the last 10 years and it kind of starts to get really annoying after a while. Seeing a bum pissing himself and taking up an entire row of seats during rush hour really starts to bother you after a while

>10 years
>thinking you're a new yorker
Lmao, try growing up here faggot.

>>6896633
>>6896528

>>6894234

And Melbourne

>>6894234
Sorry but Tokyo is definitely more /fa/ than any of the other cities you mentioned.

>>6896649
melbourne is a not a mega city

being FA in real life, is being tumblr

>>6895093
that was a fake image. they just used the funeral pic for it
