Second: The Rust Belt is a legitimate cultural region of the country distinct from silly political geography. It is ALSO a hotly debated subject of internet argument. My opinion is it starts at far east as Rochester, continues west along I-90 to about Erie, PA, then walks down the western Appalachian foothills to Pittsburgh, then follows US 30 to Canton, grabs all of the CLE/AKR/Canton super-metro, follows the southern coast of lake Erie (Columbus and cincy are NOT rust belt), grabs everything in southeast Michigan/Detroit that's not Ann Arbor, continues west to Chicago, wraps up lake Michigan to Milwaukee, and maybe as far as green pay.
Third: the true coward is you, who called the rust belt "fake" rather than admitting the hole in your theory.
Fourth: I love the other 4 cities examples, particularly new Orleans
Okay, first of all: Say My Name you coward

THE TERM RUST BELT WAS COINED JUST SO OTHER CITIES COULD BASK IN CLEVELAND'S REFLECTED GLORY
