Say brehs, where does the "boujiness" in Atlanta come from frfr?

[OnlyOneBoss]

And I say this as a man who has lived in other big/medium cities

NYC for a year (in total)
Chicago
LA
Seattle
Houston
Denver



I ask this with genuine care so I know how to approach it. Where is it coming from? Why do so many folks think they are larger than life out here?

the current shyt or the real Atlanta?

The Real Atlanta historically has always been home to Black Upper Middle class (look at the amount of HBCUs + Top global universities literal next to each other) + The Rail Roads attracting people for work.

The New Atlanta shyt is just fake social media flexing of new money/new credit

You right breh I should've specified this. I'm talking about the "New Atlanta" energy specifically. I got fam from Atlanta, like wayyy back, I been going out there as a kid since the day I was born,

They on some weird shyt nowadays though

Like, I've been out in Manhattan multiple times, I been in Beverly Hills... And the first time I was told "you've been at this table too long" while out eating was In Atlanta

I get its a lot of transplants, but people don't even be like this in the cities they are transplanting from.

And the clubs too are crazy.. these mfs genuinely think they are the main attraction shorty you are a regular fukking person

People flood to ATL with zero plan to chase their dreams of being the "main character". The real "power players" in ATL tend to be very cliquish so all these transplants on avg are losers just trying to be seen/create an image for their social media brands.
