Ok, Miami is more well-known internationally. I guess it's a more international city, but not more importaint. Miami's ranking is partly based on it's popularity. ATL may be more important to this nation economically.

I dont give my OPINIONS on the importance of cities. Miami ranks higher than Atlanta in importance by GAWC and Global Cities Index. Got a problem with the rankings then talk to them about it.

My opinion or anyone elses opinion for importance doesnt matter because I can post facts to prove ppl wrong, which I just did. Miami is more important than Atlanta, sorry but it is.

Default Since there seem to be some people from Miami on here

How racist is the Hispanic population there? I hear Miami has a lot of racist White Hispanics that look down on non-Whites.

Honest question, where in Atlanta did you go to? Ding, ding...Of course, there aren't that many Black, Latino, and Asian dudes running around looking like Justin Bieber.

I dont like the nighlife in Atlanta, it's my opinion and you are not going to change my opinion. Let's move on!
I don't know what your interest in music is but I've actually heard that out of towners enjoy their time in ATL especially the nightlife. I have a feeling that you're probably into techno or something like that but ATL usually does what it does nicely (man, that's vague).

If you think they are nice then wear them.
Different communities I guess.

Bama Bangs become REALLY, REALLY, popular in Welthy Southern White College Fraternities, especially in, none other then Alabama(schools like Auburn, Bama, etc). But they've become popular from Alabama all the way up the piedmont to over here in North Carolina. They all have the same haircut in those Frats.
This should be the ending of this argument here: the bieber hairstyle's popular and unpopular with who? ATL's a majority what city (currently)? Therefore, it's not popular here. (not talking to you but just adding to you points)
