Why is Taizz the butt of the jokes?

Whenever I interact with Yemenis online or irl they'll sometimes poke fun at Taiz or Taizzis, similar to what Saudis do for Jeddah. I understand that regional teasing is normal anywhere else, but often times it feels like genuine mockery than playful jokes. My only guess is that it's a jab at the 2011 revolution and the belief that it failed.

Knowing this site I know I will be getting "Don't think much of it they're stupid" type of responses, but I want an actual explanation or the reason for this phenomenon, even if it's stupid.
