Philly has always had its artsy types, but it's always been such a real working class city. I guess what I notice about it in New York is it's more of an affectation.

But it's totally not everywhere. There aren't hipsters in California. They have this scenester thing that's similar but different, but they totally don't have hipsters. My friends in LA didn't even know what hipsters were.

It never ceases to amaze me the way people giggle at old fashion but never seem to extend how silly and arbitrary it really is to current trends. What you wear may say something about your personality or it may just say you find these cloths aesthetically pleasing. I know a hipster I like a great deal but he doesn't really fall into the pratfalls hipsters generally do, except silly tattoos and only very mild pretension.

Basically, Hipsters are nerds who give a fuck. Like nerds they have a lot of passion for shit no one else cares about, but they feel the need to tout it to other people, and they care about how they dress and whether or not other people know how cool they are.

And here I thought 95% of TNL were hipsters.
