HERE THERE BE HIPSTERS

ByErik King

Which Denver neighborhood is your best chance of running into a hipster?

First, what is a hipster?

Hipsters are the friends who sneer when you cop to liking Coldplay. They're the people who wear t-shirts silk-screened with quotes from movies you've never heard of and the only ones in America who still think Pabst Blue Ribbon is a good beer. They sport cowboy hats and berets and think Kanye West stole their sunglasses. Everything about them is exactingly constructed to give off the vibe that they just don't care.

Why should you care?

Someday you’ll see people taking pictures of their food, drinking PBR, as if it’s the finest adult beverage ever, and sneering at the common person for following the mainstream. At that point, you will know that hipsters are in your neighborhood.
