Suburban Runaway

One born, raised and schooled in a middle/upper-middle class suburb who moves to the city in their mid to late 20's and acts like they've lived there their entire lives.

Surburban Runaways will only congregate in certain neighborhoods of the city (ones typically deemed "dangerous" by their suburban parents), with a specific safety-zone of stores and bars.

If/When they do return to their hometown, they always make a fuss and never refer to it's namesake:

"Ugh, I have to drive out to the suburbs this weekend for a birthday party. Don't know what time I'll make it back, traffic coming back from the suburbs is always a gamble."
"Craig and Ruben got an apartment in Humboldt Park!?"

"Yep, they moved out of Tinley a few years ago; they had a spot in Pilsen, they just moved again."

"Wow, never figured them for suburban runaways...I guess it is the hip thing these days."

Suburban Trap

Trap music with substance, created by hip hop emcee Jay IDK (Ignorantly Delivering Knowledge). Mixing trap influences such as Gucci Mane with substance influences like A Tribe Called Quest. The ideology is that our generation is influenced by trap music, by disguising substance into trap we can reach the youth in a unfamiliar platform.
We can reshape the minds of our youth through Suburban Trap by putting the pills in the applesauce.

Its also known for having large concentrations of children and geriatrics.
"Hey, can we stop at Dunkin' Dounuts, I wanna grab a coffee?"

"We just passed one."

"Oh shit. Well, just keep driving, in this suburban wasteland we should hit another one in about a mile. Wait! There's a Starbucks!"

suburbs

The suburbs is where most americans want to make a living. It is where successful individuals or couples who have made it somewhere in life through determination live. Whether or not the same can be said about their children is up for debate, but it is a HAVEN from the noise-ridden, polluted, and often crime / poverty infested city. People living in a suburb ADVANCED in life, and made it out of the city, or were lucky enough to have educated parents who raised them here. Whether or not those privileged appreciate it or not is also up for debate, but as one of those privileged individuals myself, I can honestly say that after 30 years of living in a New Jersey suburb, I have WISENED up enough to say that I am THANKFUL to live in a suburb. Sure, it can get boring, and there are downsides to living in a suburb, but as with anything in life, there are solutions, like earning your own car to get places, as I did (which I must say most 'urbanites' at my job are jealous of). And I must add its nice to come home from a 12 hour shift in the middle of summer to a very suburban SWIMMING POOL, rather than cooling off to a very urban FIRE HYDRANT.
There are mostly negative definitions of suburbanites here, and they are most likely coming from biased and jealous urban folks, who will NEVER make it out of the city, due to their child support issues, or their little record.
