Does Denmark have a superiority complex towards Scandinavia?
I can't help but notice this recurring vibe that Denmark considers itself the "true capital" of Scandinavia.
Whenever I see Danes talking about Sweden or Norway there seems to be an underlying smugness. They often look down on Sweden as being overly rigid/bureaucratic and politically correct (they call it forbudssverige), and they always joke about Norway just being a historically poor rugged mountain province that got lucky with oil money. I've seen Sweden being called poor too.
Plus, Copenhagen always markets itself as the "Capital of Scandinavia." For example Scandinavian Airlines (national airline of Sweden, Norway and Denmark) selected Copenhagen as their sole global hub for international travel over Oslo and Stockholm. I should note Helsinki offers more intercontinental flights than both Stockholm and Oslo.
Another thing I noticed when looking at their music charts is they consume very little Swedish (and Norwegian) music. For example, Sweden's last Eurovision winner went #1 in Sweden, #2 in Norway, #3 in Finland but only #13 in Denmark (it charted higher in basically every other European country). You can have the #1 song in the world, but if you are Swedish, Danish radio will act like it doesn't exist.
