Hipster Brooklyn Is Over As In-Crowd Heads To Ohio, Utah: Survey

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — Brooklyn's lost its hipster mojo. The borough, apparently famed for being the world's epicenter for all things cool, didn't even make the list in the latest survey of places the in-crowd calls home.

The report from MoveHub — a website for international travelers — ranked the 20 best American cities for tattoo parlors, thrift stores and micro breweries – and the word "Brooklyn" never came up.

Not once.

In fact, the only place in New York State to get a mention was Rochester, which came in 10th.

That's right Bushwick, Williamsburg and Bed-Stuy. You gave us man buns, unicorn lattes and an avocado rat, but it's over.

Now the flannel-clad set is in the coffee shops of Boise, Cincinnati and Salt Lake City and, in Washington State, the other Vancouver — not the big, Canadian one.

Brooklyn — which yes, we acknowledge is not technically a city, but still — didn’t even make the cut.

The surveyors studied 150 American cities and scored each one on the basis of “five key indicators of ‘hipsterdom;’ the density of microbreweries, vegan stores, thrift stores and tattoo parlors, and the extremity of rent hikes."

The hope was to identify the city most likely to foster hipsters, which the survey described as, “20- to 30-somethings who position themselves as non-mainstream pioneers; free-thinkers and non-conformist conformists.”

Sound familiar, Bushwick?

The cities with the highest number of these trendy venues per capita could earn up to 10 points. Vancouver came in for the win with 8.23.

The study gave a brief mention to New York City when it noted it “wallows” in 143rd place out of 150 American cities. And it concluded with a note acknowledging possible flaws in the study metrics.

“We’re willing to accept the possibility it’s not perfect,” surveyors wrote.

Commenters, who did not come to Brooklyn’s defense, did spot key geographical errors.

“That's funny, I've never heard of Cincinnati, Idaho,” wrote Ali Elmi, when the survey misidentified the location of the Ohio city.

Jacob Szczudlak of Huntsville, Alabama — which was ranked 16th — added, “Your graphic has Huntsville, AL marked in the wrong state.” The graphic did indeed point out a location in northern Mississippi.
