As someone from the country side, this trope offends me.

XD

I'm not. This became trope for reasons. For me, I can relate with this trope cause I remember I did spending a lot of money to get to fit in when I came to the City. Bought some overpriced Zara shirts and accessories, changed my hairstyle, dyed my hair. Ah good old times lols.

LOL I went hard the opposite way. I tried really hard not to get noticed, hats, hoodies, darker clothing - didn't go out to eat cuz screw that noise, etc. XD
