Hic Transit Gloria Stulti

Definition of hick

 (Entry 1 of 2)
: an unsophisticated provincial person

hick
adjective

Definition of hick (Entry 2 of 2)
: unsophisticated, provincial

That's the Merriam Webster online entry for "hick" by which it should be obvious to anyone with an experience of the residents of the greater lesser NYC area that the place is chock full of hicks.  There is no one more provincial than a lesser-greater NYC person who holds the rest of the world in contempt.  Even at its worst I don't think Boston declared the Hub City or, even more so Concord MA    c. 1850 had so many vainglorious navel gazers as the would-be hipsters in NYC.

As for who is less sophisticated, have you read his blog?  Power Pop?  I'd link but I don't link to the real bottom of the heap stuff.
