Thank God Raleigh is not on that list. The closest city to us is probably Nashville. And WTF including Savannah on that list. Savannah was cool before being a Southern city was cool.

yep, much closer than Charleston or DC

4/12/2012 2:02:27 PM

False. Portland is much more hipster than Seattle.

4/12/2012 2:02:54 PM

they are not on the list my dammit friend!

that's what i get for clicking on the picture at the end. egg on my face (and on this page)

4/12/2012 2:04:28 PM

Seattle>Portland=Invalid List

4/12/2012 2:18:01 PM

The best cities are cities that most of us haven't even heard of yet.

4/12/2012 2:19:53 PM

why does this list use microbrews as a metric for hipsterdom?

hipsters drink shite beer

4/12/2012 2:21:29 PM

ive been to hopworks and really enjoyed it

in 2008

4/12/2012 2:21:43 PM

the city that produces the most eggs

4/12/2012 2:21:53 PM

^^so hipster.

Did you pedal the stationary bike?

fuck that shit i just drink

4/12/2012 2:46:58 PM

4/12/2012 2:53:10 PM

San Francisco could make the top 10 list for best cities for any damn thing. Don't get me wrong, it's a great city, I'd love to live there but there's too much general weirdness. It's not exactly a place you'd go to stand out.

4/12/2012 2:55:57 PM

Between SCAD accepting anyone with dat dolla dolla and the savannah sludge scene explodiing it is definitely a huge hipster mecca

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

4/12/2012 3:06:06 PM

Austin..definitely.

One time I walked into a local pizza shop and asked the hipster at the counter if it was going to rain (albeit it was cloudy and windy and I was just being friendly), but he responded "How would I know, do I look like an astronomer"

4/12/2012 3:09:13 PM

all cities on the list will become immediately un-hip for being mentioned by a mainstream pub as a hipster-base... the first rule of hipster is you don't admit to hipster

4/12/2012 3:10:47 PM

Hipster media outlets consider Raleigh to be quickly becoming a new hipster mecca for music, but we don't have the already current levels of hipster radiation that other cities do. This is probably a good thing. Hipster hipster hipster.

DISQUALIFIED! HIPSTER LICENSURE REVOKED.

Couldn't agree more. When I was there last summer, I about lost my life numerous times from almost being run over by some hipster on a fixie.


Also, Nashville is apparently gotten bad lately. Have had a few friends who live there mention it a bunch of times, and a buddy just got back form there and all he could ask is what the deal was with so many guys up there wearing skinny jeans.

4/12/2012 4:17:38 PM

skinny jeans were around long before the hipsters

lol, I was thinking the same thing.

*instant mass migration of hipsters out of said cities occurs*

does anyone really

4/12/2012 4:55:11 PM

Completely agree with Seattle. I felt archaic when I was there.

4/12/2012 4:55:49 PM

I'm moving from Columbia, SC to Portland, OR in August. Gonna be some culture shock!

4/13/2012 12:52:45 PM

I'm surprised DC isn't on the list

"I'm surprised DC isn't on the list"

I remember reading in the Express earlier this week that DC was low on the list due to the high concentration of business professionals and government workers here.

Since it lumps NYC together I guess Adams Morgan would be our Brooklyn?

4/13/2012 1:40:58 PM

Either Adams Morgan or Columbia Heights.

4/13/2012 1:42:41 PM

Portland, OR should have won by a landslide.

The fact that it didn't is illustrated by Portland, ME also in the list. Portland, ME became a hipster mecca due to the fact that many geographically confused hipsters east of the mississippi embarking on their pilgrimage were confused and assumed that the allure of Portland was the city in Maine. Ultimately, this became a self-fulfilling prophecy, and Portland, ME became a hipster force en masse unto its own.

4/13/2012 1:46:15 PM

bwahahaha

DC is on the list (#29), and it even beat Salt Lake City somehow. DC didn't even have a brewery until this last year, WTF?. I'm surprised that Richmond is not on the list, however. The Fan is like hipster haven.
