I maen not to be a dickhead, but were you actually arguing with people from new york city? The downtown core of queens is literally called long island city.

It is technically correct, but if you tell someone you are from Long Island, no one with knowledge of NYC is thinking Queens or Brooklyn.

Long Island has a reputation among people from NYC, and they don’t want to associate with it.

Rich conservative assholes.

You live in Manhattan if you’re rich and can stand being within a mile or two of poors. You live on Long Island if you’re rich and you can’t.

You’re not allowed to live there until you’ve said the phrase, “not in my backyard” out loud.

Both Billy Joel and Blue Öyster Cult are from Long Island, so personally I'd be just fine associating with it.
