The Trendiest Cities in The World
The places that put the cool in cool, the trend in trendy, the cites other cities
aspire to be. Where trends are born, and scenes die everyday. Places so trendy
that the people there don't even know they're being trendy anymore, places where
the nightlife is so good it happens during the day.
Honorable Mention; Montreal,
Canada
A city largely regarded as one of the world's best, with a decisively
European flair, Montreal is quite amazing. The people even speak French although
they live in North America, you can't get more original than that.
10. Seattle,
Washington
This is the city that invented alternative rock music, the early part of the
1990's was defined by the sound coming out of Seattle. In modern times Death Cab
For Cutie came out of Seattle to almost inspire apathetic college students
across the nation. Also Starbucks was invented in Seattle, and then
only a few years later the citizens of the city were so over it they were smashing
Starbucks windows, that's just cool.
9. San Francisco,
California
I'm pretty sure being gay was invented here, and that seems to be trendy
these days. Alright so that may have been offensive, but in all seriousness San
Francisco is a city that sets trends. Everything is in a constant state of
motion here and it's packed full of interesting people.
8. Amsterdam,
Netherlands
Just think of it this way, whenever someone does drugs, or goes out with a
hooker, they're emulating Amsterdam. Sure maybe those things weren't invented
here, but they were definitely made infamous here.
7. Barcelona,
Spain
Barcelona
is the epitome of cool, there's conflicting styles of art and architecture side
by side, they have the best soccer team in the world and it's even the setting
of the opening shot for the video of Justin Timberlake's Sexyback. And if it's cool enough for Justin, odds are it's much too
cool for you.
6. Paris,
France
You'll see more style underground in the Parisian metro system than there is
to be found in most other entire cities. The people in the subway are so
beautiful and fashionable it wouldn't be surprising if they had just came from a
photo shoot. Imagine what the streets are like.
5. Milan,
Italy
Milan doesn't really need much of an explanation as to why it's trendy.
Let's see... literally almost all of the world's fashion comes from this city.
Every major designer has a presence here and as such it's a haven for beautiful
people from across the globe.
4. New York City,
New York
Commonly called the capital of the world, there aren't many places more
trendy than the New York City neighborhoods of The Village, SoHo, & the Upper Westside.
Gods amongst mortals,
beacons of light in otherwise dreary world.
3. London,
England
London sidewalks have seen many a trend in their days, and also one Jack The
Ripper. London is so culturally dominant it overshadows the entire nation it's
in. Leaving some people (Paris Hilton) to believe London and England are in fact
no related to one another.
2. Tokyo,
Japan
Tokyo has robotic dogs playing soccer. If that's not an up coming trend
I'm not sure what is. Besides if anyone's ever seen the movie Lost in
Translation they would know Tokyo is cool because the movie had absolutely no
point other than they were in Tokyo.
1. Los
Angeles, California
Where dogs do
yoga, homeless people have iPhones and sushi is eaten off of naked bodies. The 10th largest economy in the world,
and sunny everyday, this city is the defining point of everything we've come to
know as western civilization. It's the birthplace to the convertible,
inline skating, and every movie you've ever liked. And really when it comes down
to it, where else
in the world can you find a goth roller skating night?
