I don't really think hipsters when I think of New Orleans but then again I've heard the place is changing pretty fast.
This list could easily be interchangeable with best cities for young people. Hipsterdom and hipster cities are all the rage right now. With the exception of San Juan, don't know how that made the list.
New Orleans has really become one of the de facto hipster cities of America. You can't go anywhere anymore without hearing new transplants discussing their non-profit work, Teach for America, or "how New Orleans is like way better than the suburb they come from"

And there you have it. Offer some insight or perhaps tear it up, joke, and ridicule.
The bolded are not hipster at all. And Kansas City is pathetic
Have any of us been to San Juan? for all we know it may be full of hipsters.
As for Portland ME beating out Austin - it's a much smaller city - this report is probably based on percentages. Besides - who knows how many east coast hipsters couldn't afford a bus ticket to Portland OR and tried for the next best thing. It is a Portland, after all.
I didn't see a single hipster in San Juan. New Orleans has quite a few hipsters and street kids though. I'm not sure if it's #4, but it's up there these days.
How hipster. You think STL is cool before it becomes cool.
No, it's East St. Louis that will be the hipster magnet. It's got a real Vice Magazine sort of feel to it...
