New Yorkers arent aware that we're from the "North"

[K.O.N.Y]

Southerners wear the "south" on their sleeves.

But regionalism on that level doesnt exist in the north. Nyers dont look to boston, dc and philly as northern brothers the way southern cities do with each other. Nyers arent really self aware to region beyond maybe the Tri-state.

Theres no real cohesive concept to the "north". Just separated metropolitan areas

I only care about New York.

I dont care about the "North" or the "tri state" or the "east coast"

I'm from New York and we run this shyt.

It's not 1856, so yeah.

Northerners are aware were northerners but like you said we don't have a brotherly attitude towards other cities.

Colder weather/urban environments breeds a go-for-self mentality which manifested on a city to city basis. Plus since we have a "superiority complex" cities/citizens of the South feels a stronger need to rep the South as a whole.

Are we suppose to unite or something?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the south's unified identification predicated on their cac rebellions?

True. It should also be noted that people in other northern cities don’t think or care about NY. It’s why the only people tripping on 6ix9ines antics are from other regions. Pretty much every northern city does it’s own thing

I mean NJ pretty much an extension/suburb of NY. That’s why they built the Meadowlands there. Connecticut nikkas...idk, never met a black person from there or know much of anything about them

Some southerners have the 1856 mindset as well. That’s not necessarily a good thing, especially in terms of progression and forward thinking.

The south has more generational family dependence. New Yorkers tend to have more of a survival instinct, reliance of self; rather than looking for help outside of our own resources. Like Nas said - born alone, die alone; there’s no days for broke days. There’s enough of a collective mentality among ourselves to maintain and be efficient, without intervention. No need to include or involve others for what we can accomplish.
