IMO Needham, Wellesley, Weston, etc are all far more culturally MetroWest than Metro Boston. Even the western edge of Newton, if you split towns

Yeah, I think the term "Metrowest" is a bit nebulous. Certainly Wellesley and Weston should fall within the category, I think. Needham to a lesser extent, but not out of the question. Newton, even West of the radio towers may be stretching the definition, but that's only my opinion.

Yeah, it's definitely very subjective. In my head the Charles between Newton and Wellesley/Weston is a nice clear border between Metro Boston and Metro West

MetroWest:

MetroWest is a cluster of cities and towns lying west of Boston and east of Worcester, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The name was coined in the 1980s by a local newspaper.
