Annoying evangelists mated with Annoying hipsters. Please make it stop.

We said the same thing to our hippie parents.

None of these is really a large city in any sense of the word, and none is at risk of having hipsters in the first place.

My guess would be Detroit...it's too gritty and ironic for them.

I think Couer D'Alene could become hipster

Hipster Christianity? Learn something new all the time. Although I read once that Jack Kerouac deemed himself Catholic and I know of Christian coffee shops. Although that's more "Beat" than "Hipster" I suppose. I guess maybe it could include people who read "Blue Like Jazz" at their coffee shop, listen to the Soweto Gospel Choir, and complain about how other Evangelicals are hypocrites lacking in solidarity with the world's poor. I've heard of, or could envision, people like that.

I used to work with a bunch of evangelical Lutheran gutter punks. They were trying to live communally and off the grid like the original christians. They were covered in biblical tattoos. They were interesting kids, I enjoyed talking to them.

Well, we're looking for "few hipsters" here, and I guess it depends on your definition of "large city".

Riverside-San Bernardino is the 12th largest MSA in the US, ahead of Detroit, Phoenix, and Seattle.

Bakersfield has 851K, MSA ranked 61st overall.

Colorado Springs has 660K, and is in the same league as Syracuse, Toledo, Boise, and Des Moines.

Spokane and Coeur d'Alene combined have 600,000 people in their metro.

The other cities mentioned are the principal cities in their respective areas.

Was being a large city a requirement? The "Best Cities for Hipsters" list had Portland, Maine at number 5. Although I guess the OP does mention "major cities."

Riverside-San Bernardino probably does count as a major urban area. Still here are some major urban areas that I'll guess might not be very hipsterish.

Charlotte, North Carolina
Cincinnati, Ohio
Detroit, Michigan
Jacksonville, Florida

All those are among the top-40 largest metros. I might be totally wrong about them though as on searching they all have a "hipster community" it seems. But then again even Wichita Falls, Texas looks like it has some hipsters.

There are actually tons of hipsters in Detroit, at least within the past five years or so.
