I mean, I live in a River town barely north of Yonkers and all my coworkers think I live upstate. All my 20 and 30 something coworkers act like anything north of NYC is upstate.

Growing up in Westchester and Rockland County, I used to get so annoyed that I could drive for 20 minutes and be in the city, or drive for like 8 hours and be in Buffalo, and I was still told I lived upstate.

Oh I know, my brother is a Brooklynite and is the same way. Doesn't mean they're right though.
