The characteristic attitudes, behaviors, or cultural patterns associated with city life and urban living.
Compound of city and the suffix -cism (from Greek -kismos, indicating a practice, quality, or system of behavior). Constructed similarly to words like 'criticism' and 'urbanism' to describe urban cultural phenomena.
Citycism describes the specific mindset of urban dwellers—the hustle, the anonymity, the cultural mixing—and it's interesting because most societies have coined words to describe city life as somehow different from 'normal' human behavior, showing ancient prejudices about cities.
