I have been doing some preliminary research on Virginia, Richmond in particular, and was wondering if there were any similarities between it and Austin, TX? I lived in Austin before and encountered the hipster culture there and hear that Richmond also has it. Are there other similarities between the two?

I think the hip/music culture in Austin is larger but Richmond has one. I lived in Austin too back in the initial music rise circa 1980. Fun fun fun. And still fun.

That culture is much larger in Austin than Richmond. Austin is based around rock-a-billy style music & liberalism imported from its proximity to the University of Texas. Richmond is more known for it's darker metal scene, although the city itself is more conservative than Austin.

Yeah, I tell people Richmond is the next Austin. Reminds me of Austin in the early 90s
