Hipsters and wannabe urbanites who move from suburban wastelands to NYC believing they will make it big in business, Broadway, or some other NY industry. Eventually, these mid-western suburbanites leave NYC generally after 1-2 years, after they realize they can't take the fast paced culture of NYC, get frustrated, and move to a more laid back city out west (Los Angeles, Seattle, or even back home). Those who expire are generally replaced with another hipster-suburbanite, who will eventually reach his/her expiration date, and the cycle continues.
Hipster E. village kid from Washington: Hey wheres Thom?

Hipster from Idaho: Oh, ya, Thom reached his New York City expiration date, he Got the F*** out before he reached his breaking point.

Metropolis; the biggest city in the United States and one of the biggest cities in the world. The financial and economic capital of the United States and the Western Hemisphere. Like any other city, whether its visible on the surface or not, there's crime, poverty and excess in New York City, alongside some of the wealthiest people in the world. It differs from other cities in the US in that the cityscape is more of a contiguous metropolis than Los Angeles, Boston or Chicago. Residents are (surprise surpise) very proud of their city; they have a reputation for being rude, arrogant and boisterous but it is a stereotype that doesn't hold true in every circumstance.
New Yorker: Yeah NYC is the greatest city in the entire fuckin' world and dont you fuggetit

Me: Yeah I was in New York City in 2003 and I was flying out of Newark and the sky above NYC was green

New Yorker: Yeah but its a real city

Me: K, whatever

The city of all cities where you can get roasted nuts on the side of the road for no aparent reason at all. The place where dreams are possible, hopes are reached, and a hooker can make her way.
