What are some obvious things transplants do to attract attention towards themselves?

So I really care what people think of me by choosing to remain in DC?
I am living in NYC's shadow by choosing to stay where I was born and raised?
NYC is only a 2 hr 36 min train ride from here.

I used to come and go from here to there and back all the time.

I can get on a train right now at 10 pm and arrive in Manhattan 30-45 minutes after midnight.

You think I am jealous of transplant attention seeking beardos who have been living in NYC since wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in 2006?



HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get what your saying. Most of the opposition here are transplants/hipsters themselves. So a chord was struct with them. Real new yorkers understand that these new transplants/hipsters are straight corny. period

Just look at brooklyn

Has to come from some kind of resentment and resentment usually comes from envy.

Me?

Envious of attention seeking wanna-be urban beardos paying inflated rents in the disneyfied era of nyc?

In reference to the "hipsters" walking around New York in the middle of the day.....what about all of the other non-hipster non-transplants walking around in the middle of the day? What say you to that? Are they all trust fund babies?

I think what you are failing to consider is that not everyone works a standard "9-5" M-F job. Pretty sure New York is the "city that never sleeps". Obviously a lot of people are working at random times throughout the day/week.

Also not all transplants are hipsters. What about those who moved here for job opportunities in the corporate world? Actually scratch that I already know your next comment is going to be "yuppy".

Speaking of yuppy that term dates back to the 80's which was used to describe the wave of young urban professionals of which NYC was hit hard. This wave had a high percentage of transplants from all over.

Obviously "trendy seeking transplants" to nyc isn't something exclusive to the past 10-20 years. Actually you can trace this whole "trendy seeking transplants" as far back as the "Roaring" 20's. The beatnecks in the 40's and 50's, the hippies in the 60's.

This whole topic is just silly and ridiculous. I guess some people need something to complain about and make themselves feel better about their pathetic lives.

I also think it comes from depression. He probably doesn't have any friends OR hipsters treated him badly before (maybe). That's why he hates them. Whatever his case may be it's stupid.

Do something productive with your time/life. As long as transplants/hipsters/whoever adds to the city and respect everything it has to offer, I'm cool with it. Why? Because it's not my place to tell someone how to act or what to do in public.

This is a "free" country, stop hating people because they're having the time of their lives (or moment). You can continue to watch them from afar, looking extremely bitter.
