&lt;p&gt;Brunswick. The suburb that thinks it invented Melbourne. The postcode that looks at Fitzroy, says &amp;ldquo;cute,&amp;rdquo; and genuinely believes it is the cooler older sibling. Let us get one thing straight before we start: Brunswick is genuinely good. That is what makes roasting it so satisfying — because the people who live there are insufferable about how good it is.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Fitzroy: The Suburb Roast — Every Hot Take, No Apologies</title><link>https://melbz.com.au/fitzroy/suburb-roast/</link><pubDate>Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://melbz.com.au/fitzroy/suburb-roast/</guid><description>&lt;div class="vibe-score"&gt;FITZROY VIBE SCORE: 84/100 ⚡️ ICONIC (+2 this week)&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="vibe-score"&gt;FITZROY VIBE SCORE: 84/100 ⚡️ ICONIC (+2 this week)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s get one thing straight before the inner-north defenders show up in our DMs with pitchforks made of reclaimed timber: Fitzroy is &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt;. It&amp;rsquo;s genuinely, annoyingly good. That&amp;rsquo;s what makes it so insufferable. When a suburb gets everything right — the food, the culture, the walkability, the nightlife — its residents develop a superiority complex that could power the entire Melbourne tram network.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
