The reason I say Fort Worth is the most quintessentially "Texas" of the big cities is because it has the most blue collar, homogeneous, conservative culture that people outside the state tend to associate with Texas, at least old stereotypes about Texas.
Fort Worth, if anything, is more moderate/libertarian than conservative.
Pretty much every other town in Tarrant County (except Arlington, Forest Hill and Everman) is conservative.
El Paso feels more like a New Mexican or ARizonan city.
I totally agree.Although it does fit the desert stereotype.El Paso reminds me so much of Arizona and New Mexico.It feels so different than the rest of Texas.
Yea as I began to learn more about actual Texas I kinda realized that Arlen couldn’t be a suburb of Houston based off foliage. I also realized it couldn’t be a suburb of El Paso or San Antonia due to how green it was. And I just knew it was Austin:
Thanks for the confirmation though. I didn’t know the backstory for King of the Hill.
I've only been to Austin and its suburbs so far. From what I know about Dallas proper, it actually seems like what I experienced in Austin, at least in the cores. Upscale, hipstery vibes + a very large Hispanic population. Though, Dallas has a much larger black population.
Ironically, the Austin suburbs actually felt more like "stereotypical Texas" to me while Austin had more of a pan-American hipster vibe. Though, the Austin natives I talked to did have Southern accents which I was kind of surprised by since many on here act like Austin doesn't count as the South.
This also describes Houston. The Montrose + Upper Kirby + River Oaks + Heights area is becoming a hipster infused upscale density. Houston and Dallas are able to capitalize on this more due to their population. Which is partly why you don’t see the upscale shopping in Austin that you get in Houston and Dallas. Austin tried to make a designer shopping area but failed miserably.
At this point, I think most growing American cities are headed in the same direction as these 3. Ausrin and Miami are also seeing the same trends for example.
This puts Dallas in a DISTANT third. Even if you add Fort Worth (with 31,412, which has many cross members), it’s still no where near second. I think I’m buying into the idea that Austin and Houston are more associated individually than Dallas.

What do you mean “associated individually”?
