The point of the thread is rude hipsters uptown, but I just want Indie9 to know that is not just an uptown thing the postering and all. Where I work it is the Ivy Leaguers and the privates against the CUNY's and the SUNY's. I belong to the CUNY group. We experience that same postering and mannerisms and some of these are Native NYer's. But we all bring home the same money depending on how long we are there and what positions we have.
Absolutely correct. Some will find some rationale to look down on someone else - sometimes it's race, other times national origin, ethnicity, Manhatatn vs outer boroughs, Columbia vs City College. Those who need a crutch such as that to feel superior or good about themselves are surely deficient in other ways.
Miles you are still #1 all the ladies on the forum can agree.
Wow! Now I know I'm in. All week I've been waiting for you to say hello to me. Felt kinda sleighted when you ignored me for that cyrus fella. Thanks for still being here for me, DAS.
What is with the seemingly acceptable hate towards hipsters?
As of late the new trend is to despise groups of people, who are NOT involved in crime, who are NOT dependent on welfare/government programs, who are NOT the ones littering, destroying property, or vandalizing, who are NOT hanging out attacking people or otherwise making communities unsafe/undesirable, etc.

Hipsters are only a part of the transition in neighborhoods that people don't like.
Yes, they are not violent and are not on welfare- most likely dependent on mommy and daddy's money. But the people that were in the communities before deserve to be included in the change and not threatend by the change.
It is the collective problem of out of towners, hipsters, yuppies, joe schmoes, real estate developers, city planners, politicians and muffin shops.
Generations have been disrupted by the influx of out of towners with higher incomes. People can't afford to live where the grew up.
For decades the city let these communities rot and as soon as the "new" people came in they got more police, fixed parks, rennovated apts. As if the old school tenants didn't matter at all.
We need to do gentrification better, inclusive of everyone, and rude hipsters with their colonialist attitude make things very difficult to have a smooth transition.

have you ever been out to Willamsburg? these hipsters are driving existing ethnic communities out of their original neighborhoods where most of these people have already made their lives by moving in and having landlords jack up apartment prices
additionally, these hipsters are often closet bigots and segregationists- meaning that they will go to some Bedford L stop bar on Grand St or Bedford Ave, and bounce to the latest dirty south rap tune- in their "comfort zone" but they would never do that in a Flatbush bar or in Crown Heights where there are actual black, latin, caribbean, or other ethnicity out their to judge their actions and their janky dancing while wearing the latest flannel fashions, not shaving, and going 3-4 days without taking a shower
frankly, these hipsters disgust me- grow up and get a job you hippy- if these hipsters want to listen to the latest Diplomats record perhaps they shouldn't be so segregationist
I didn't think there were enough hipsters uptown to even have an opinion of them. Where do hipsters hang out in Harlem? I usually assume most hipster-looking white people uptown are European tourists staying in hostels. Are there hipster bars up here I don't know about?

There will be a hipster outpost coming soon to mark their territory. Probably a coffee shop wher they can go during the day and pretend to write a book on their laptop. And a bar that serves cheap beer out of a can for the night time.
I live in DUMBO Brooklyn and I see a fair amont of hipsters. Here's the deal. The true hipsters are actually very cool/chill folks. They are pretty open, friendly, and non judmental types. I know al lot of Musicians that fit the descriotion on a true hipster.
Then you have the fake Hipsters that IMO, comprise the majority. These are the trust fund kids or simply NERDS who need to cling to a persona - much like high school- to define themselves. How do I know they are fake? Usually,you can tell by there level of discomfort whenever they interact with someone who is different then them. Still if someone is blocking a doorway or a sidewalk, I have no problem "educating" them about what real New Yorker's reaction would be.
