Which of these cities do you think offer the best stereotypical Millennial experience? You know, coffee, craft beer, bad art, legal foliage, live music, etc, etc.
Very liberal politically and LGBT friendly. San Francisco of course offers the most, but its cost of living can be prohibitive for people in their twenties just starting out. I tend to lean Portland or Denver. Austin is up there, but it loses a few points because its in Texas and is somewhat choked by the conservatism that pervades the state.

Seattle hasn't been as sterilized as San Francisco though it's on its way. There is still a thriving non-tech scene in Seattle for sure and the coffee culture is still extremely intact. Very bicycle friendly city as well. No shortage of bearded vegan almond milk latte sipping, male yoga pant and romper wearing individuals in this city. Portland is probably the better hipster city all things considered but Seattle still has a good 10-15 years before we have to rename it Amazonia.

Well hipster and millennial aren't the same thing but Portland wins the hipster crown. Austin's hipsters are even weirder because of Texas' conservatism, it makes the liberal hipsters scream louder.

Denver has its share of hipsters, but Portland wins hands down. The hipster lifestyle makes me laugh. It's supposedly about individuality and non-conformance yet they all look nearly identical.

Portland wins in the hipster department. SF is a close second.

Asheville NC ? Because real hipsters don't live in large cities.

Stereotypical millennial experience? That would be Seattle or SF.
Stereotypical hipster experience? Probably Portland.

Brooklyn is by far the biggest hipster mecca. Portland is the most hipster of the available poll options.

And, just my opinion, but Denver and Seattle are not that hipster. They're more techie and outdoorsy.
