It is not that bad. Most of them stick to Manhattan clubs. There are some clubs and bars in Brooklyn that would not even let them in dressed like clowns.
True, but it depends where in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is actually the capital of the hipsters - Williamsburg. Williamsburg is so infested that it's ruined, just like most of Manhattan. Greenpoint, Cobble Hill, and now Carroll Gardens are getting ruined. They also are moving into the yuppy community of Park Slope. Oh, and Red Hook.
Since you're Russian, my guess is you're talking about the southern part of Brooklyn, near Coney Island; but the northern part of Brooklyn is as bad as Manhattan with hipsters
The difference is that in any other city in the USA if you are in a club or bar you can point the hipsters out of the crowd; in NYC, the hipsters ARE the crowd, and you can point the few non-hipsters out of the crowed.
There are hipsters everywhere. NYC has a lot of hipsters but they also have a lot of everything else and there are more then enough spots you can go and not experience what you stated in your posts. NYC has diversity and a big fashion crowd, it makes things interesting, i dont think its a negitive upon the city. Iv experienced the nightlife in many cities and i can vouge that NYC doesnt just stand around with there "retro sneakers and skinny jeans." Maybe in Willamsburg or some spots in LES but not all over.
And for Chicago...i think its a badass city. Before I lived in the area (for like 5-6 months) I was always preoccupied with NYC but i knew Chicago was a dope city. I know people that take trips out there regulary for vaction and always have a good time. A friend of mine just took a trip out for new years and had a great time, and trust me this chick can party.

I'm surprised how many New Yorker's I've talked in real life and on C-D to are completely oblivious about the reputation of Williamsburg. I was born and raised in Texas and I've never been to New York but I've heard about Williamsburg. I know a lot of my favorite bands are based out of that area now.
Every time I go to Austin, I meet a filmmaker or someone who's in a band. You throw rock in a bar on 6th Street and there's a good chance you hit a musician.

They don't call it the live music capitol of the world for no reason. And there are alot of filmmakers, there are also quite a few actors and actresses that live in Austin.
Yeah, and that's primarily in the Midwest. Why would people choose Chi-town over NYC or LA?
Because not everyone is like you maybe?
And who says that acknowledging Chicago as a fun party town diminishes LA and New York? Going to Chicago to have fun does not mean you are choosing it over New York, it means you are going there to have new experiences.
There is fun to be had in the Midwest, especially when its nice outside.
I stop the discussion there once the "Chicago is in the Midwest" statement is brought up.

Yep. This is true. A lot of celebrities spend a lot of time in Austin as well. My friend met Gene Simmons at a bar in Austin. She went up and asked for his autograph and Gene Simmons turned around and asked for her's, as joke of course my friends not famous. But anyway celebrities show up in clubs and bars all the time in Austin. Quite a few have bought secondary or permanent homes there. Granted, most Austinites are too laidback and "cool" to make a big deal about it. As for the hipster thing, I really don't mind all the hipsters, musicians, and filmmakers in Austin. Most of them pretty laidback and friendly, and aren't as pretentious and snobby as the hipsters and yuppies I've met from the Dallas area (excluding Denton).

So true. RARELY do you ever here any of us Austinites bragging about being the live music capitol of the world. We really don't care.
New Orleans and Miami are built for nightlife. That is their claim to fame Dallas and Phoenix not so much.
Yeah, that was EXACTLY my point.

Oh THAT's when the population means something. I got it now. Its when YOUR East Coast city of preference is the one that comes out looking dominant. Okay, thanks for clearing that up. So I guess this means you admit that LA has WAY better nightlife than Miami since it has 10x its population - or to put it in your terms its 4,000,000+ to 362,000. I wouldn't have expected you to choose a method that would by default eliminate Miami from contention vs. LA, but congrats!
