]]> <![CDATA[Report: Williamsburg Not As Cool As It Was, Earth Revolves Around Sun]]> Is it the giggles that makes a place hip?

famousauthor

]]> <![CDATA[Report: Williamsburg Not As Cool As It Was, Earth Revolves Around Sun]]> a: williamsburg has been on this predictable course for the past 15 years. the idea that it's the 'new ave. a' is absurd, because it's been the new ave. a. for the past 15 years too. just different era ave. a's.

b: "packed with giggling outer-borough and outer-island 20- and 30-somethings on a night out."

williamsburg is -in- and outer borough, so everyone who lives there is also outer-borough. though perhaps not giggling, a large number of them are in their 20's and 30's.

]]> <![CDATA[Report: Williamsburg Not As Cool As It Was, Earth Revolves Around Sun]]> Ahhh.. hipsters. I was so enthralled when I was in art school with the concept but now I take articles like these with a grain of salt. I think its not that the people who live in Williamsburg are no longer hipsters but rather, hipster culture has shifted and is likely dying. Much like the hippies didn't "go anywhere" after the 60's and 70's... they stayed where they were and either conformed in the 80's with new cultural norms or became outdated.
