I saw quite a while ago a post about the “Detroit of Russia” and then immediately this question came up with me.

Quick information about Amsterdam and Rotterdam:

Rotterdam is a major port city in the Netherlands known for its modern architecture, vibrant cultural scene, and maritime heritage. It's the largest port in Europe. Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is famous for its picturesque canals, historic buildings, museums like the Van Gogh Museum, and vibrant nightlife. Both cities offer a unique blend of history, art, and modern urban living.

Now even though the cities are close by, the people from Amsterdam and Rotterdam, or in my language “Amsterdammers en Rotterdammers” are complete different.

Amsterdammers -

• they complain almost about everything.
• depending in what section you are, they can be in tourist side more friendly than in the non tourist side.
• not so loved by the other cities and towns.
• has a football team known as Ajax
• bonus: they were the people who created the Dutch hardcore festival Thunderdome

Rotterdammers-

• “aso stadje” of “tokkies met humour” basically people who acts the same as people from a lower income but still with a incredible good sense of humour.
• just like Amsterdammers, depending on which side you are, they can be nice.
• these people are more loved by the other cities and towns.
• has a football team called Feyenoord.
• bonus: they also created the dutch hardcore genre “Gabberscene”

Now the iconic thing between Amsterdam and Rotterdam is how much they hate eachother their football teams, like you can’t easily walk around with a Ajax flag in Rotterdam, or you might get beat up.

So which cities can y’all agree on that they are like the Amsterdammers and Rotterdammers?

Also if any of y’all interested in the gabberscene, heres a link of a classic track:
