Australia's number one city in pretty much everything.
Especially in sports and entertainment.

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, with currently 3.8 million people. It is set to overtake Sydney as Australias largest city in 2028.

it is so much better then Sydney, which is so congested and full of homos (literally - its got the most homos of any other city in Australia). Sydneysiders often bag Melbourne for being 'wet' when in fact Melbourne has less rain then sydney - its true!
"Melbourne is the coolest city in the world!"

The best city in Australia by far. As you can see by the previous definitions on this site, it is so great the people from Sydney are butthurt so they post definitions flaming it. It's so much better than Sydney that they're forced to make the argument of "You explain why you're awesome too much", without ever providing a reason why they're better than us.
Person A: Hey man, where are you from?
Person B: Melbourne.
Person A: Oh jeez. Melbourne is so shit compared to Sydney. You guys are insecure so you have to explain why you're better than us.

Person B: No, we're just better. We have better food, we're the sporting capital of Australia, we have a richer history, prettier women. Why is Sydney so great?
Person A: There's nothing to do in Melbourne.

Person B: What the fuck can you do in Sydney that you can't do in Melbourne?
Person A:...

The wannabe capital of Australia.
All they do is talk themselves up and bitch about Adelaide and Sydney. Every good thing about Melbourne is stolen and copied from elsewhere, yet they claim full credit. This city has delusions of grandeur.
Melbourne is akin to a person born ugly, talentless and boring who then has non stop plastic surgery. Then lies, cheats and steals personality traits and life stories from others. All for the purpose of wanting everyone to think they are "the shit"
Its just a sad wannabe city...
It wants to be Adelaide but bigger and hipper than Sydney with a clean river like Perth.

Vic: Melbourne is the best, Adelaide is a hole.

Ad: Thats why you copy or steal every single idea and creation Adelaide comes up with, right?

Vic: Fuck you. Sydney is too big and overrated, Melbourne is more laid back and beautiful.

Syd: Thats why you are trying to BE us, always nipping at our heels, right?

Vic: Fuck you. Hobart sounds like fart.

Hob: You are running on empty.

Vic: Fuck all of you, we invented football.

Brissy: You Corrupted football. Theres only one real state of origin now.

Vic: Fuck rugby. We have Rove.

Perth: Actually, thats our fault.

A city who thinks it's self above and beyond the rest of Australia.

A city so in love with its own rank smell that it needs to inform non victorians how great it is at every opportunity.
A city where people are either depressed or just insecure.

A town where aggression is the norm due to the high amount of grey dull days.

A city which is in denial about its jealousy of Sydney - take for example the history of the city. For decades the city was an architectural master piece, with grand victorian buildings and coffee palaces to rival paris. Melbourne people couldnt handle this and wanted to be like Sydney - so they knocked down all the was grand and replaced it with Sydneyesque planning. Dalring Habour>Southgate - King St Wharf and the development of Pyrmont>an empty and embarrassed cold docklands and the list goes on.
Melbourne people ALWAYS claim to not care about Sydney yet as soon as the word is mentioned they go on a 10 minute tirade about all that is wrong with Sydney.

The art is not unique and most of it comes from people who have moved to the city from various interstate cities. Melbourne also has claims to the greatest sport in the world Australian Rules. The odd thing about this claim is that the code is not even watched or cared about anywhere north of the Australia.
Sydney Person: wow Melbourne is great and charming - except for the weather..
Melbourne Person: How typical of you stuck up Sydney people always thinking your city is the best when all it is, is a sewer or a backwater filled with people who's only interest is money and house prices. You don't even follow the best game in the world and that's so typically sydney. So what if the habour bridge and opera house are revered internationally..that's all Sydney has going for it..unlike in Melbourne where we have lanes and coffee.
Sydney person: woah settle down i was praising the city!
Melbourne: heh we dont really care about Sydney its always the sydneysiders who start this silly debate
Sydney: woah amazing..

The worlds greatest City. Home of the AFL grand final, The Boxing Day Test, The MCG, The Australian Open, The Australian Grand Prix, Australia's greatest arts and theatre scene and full of wonderfully enlightened people who despise Sydney.
When Jesus returns, he will be born in Melbourne, as it is the closest place on earth to heaven.

Really nice city in Victoria, Australia.

Better crime rates than Sydney(main reason why Sydney was rated lower in the most livable cities thing), much more fashionable and artsy too. They have great theatre in Melbourne.

From what I've seen Melbourne is a really great place to live in, very cool. Great market place...

Melbourne used to be considered as the most glitzy city in Australia but now more attention is puts toward Sydney.

You'd have to best city in the world if Sydney and Melbourne were combined (leaving each of the ugly attributes out)

Melbournians have every right to be proud of their city, but they should stoop to Sydneysiders level. I think too many Sydneysiders suffer from acute tall poppy syndrome. (I'm not one of them)

Melbourne- always up to the tradition of the Sydney Vs Melbourune rivalry.

-underrated city that should gets as much attention as Sydney is getting.

-should do something about the scary tram system. (and the non existant tram station things)
"OMG... I'm going to Melbourne again -yay!"

"You're obsessed... "

"Melbourne is a hundred times better than Sydney..."

"Hmm..."

"It is! Sydney people are so up themselves - they think they're better than everyone else..."

"You live in Sydney, you know."

"I know... "

"Stop complaining then, move!"

"No! I still want to live here!"

"Pff! you're pathetic."
