Are people from Big cities different than those from suburbs, rural areas? If someone is from a city that is at least 200,000 people populated, do they tend to like different music, tastes, political views, than one from a burb or farm?

1. Yes they do. Are you looking for something specific?
2. yes i think so people in the country and on a farms are more laid back and easy going people in the cities are always busy and on the go. because there's more things to do.
3. YES!
4. Yes!! I live in a very small town, and found when I visited New York that everything was different! People were dressed differently, talked differently, and just acted differently. They aren't bad differences, just different.
5. I think the suburbs really pressure people to conform to a certain expectation. In the city or in rural areas, there are lots of eccentrics. Rural areas tend to be more socially conservative, suburbs more financially conservative, and cities more socially & financially liberal (I mean in politics, not how they handle their own lives.) We all decorate with deer antlers around here. You won't find a home with modern art or furniture anywhere in this rural area.
6. In rural areas people tend to know everyone, and everyone is in your business. In a rural they tend to be more trusting, your word and a handshake are as good as a legal contract. It is more laid back in a rural setting. You can pump your gas, go in and pay with a check and spend the next 30 minutes gossiping with Nancy about the mess going on at the school. In a city you might not know your neighbors name, even though you have lived here for 3 years. You pay cash for your gas, then pump it, and the guy at the gas station doesn't even know your name. People in a city are more aware of crime and would have people begging in the streets for money, where as people in a rural area would help out their homeless. Music could be the same, clothes might be different. One bad thing about rural areas is that if a restaurant is bad, you could have to drive a long way to eat out in public, where as in the city if you have a bad McDonalds, you can probably drive two blocks over and find a good one. (My husband was a health inspector in two small counties and the only place I was allowed to eat out was Pizza Hut.) I think the political views would be different. In a small town you tend to have a "good ole boy" network, and you really can't fight city hall. The town is run by specific families and you can't vote in a new business because the three family names are all blood related and they keep voting businesses out.
