Northcote
Northcote does not make sense. Positioned in the heartland of suburbia, a whopping nine stops away from the city (comparable to North Brighton, Ormond and Murrumbeena) it has somehow managed to defy geography and pass itself off as a gritty inner city urban wonderland. The brilliance of this suburb is only magnified when you go there and discover it’s mostly just a few kebab joints and a massive indoor shopping centre with Kmart, two Coles, Donut King and a fucking Bakers Delight. This is stuff the wrong white Melbournians like! I don’t know how, but Northcote has brainwashed Melbourne white people. Go there to experience genius.
Other things that white Melbournians like include: Not Liking Football, Fingerless Gloves, Confest, Dirty 3 gig at Meredith Music Festival in 2004, Lentil As Anything, Bonsoy, Mulled Wine, Moroccan Soup Bar, Dropping the ‘North’ from your suburb, Ceres, Fire-twirling, Tibetan Prayer Flags, ACCA (Australian Centre of Contemporary Art), Shanghai Dumpling House, Hating on Sydney, Earthchoice Dishwash Liquid, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, Pronouncing Chile as 'Chil-AY', Pretending to Hate Cars, Movies That Make You Think, Trackies, Pretending To Be A Nerd, The Monthly, Acknowledging the Wurundjeri, Churros, The World Section of The Age, The Windsor End of Chapel Street, Southside versus Northside.
