Problems with Yelp’s new ‘Hipster’ ambience category?

First of all, is Medjool intimate? I don’t think it is. More importantly, I also don’t think hipsters hang there very often.

Reader Wavvy Gravvy points out some other possible flaws in Yelp’s new “Hipster” tag:

Spork, Beretta, Dalva, Zeitgeist, farm:table, Pop’s, Ikes at Lime, Boogaloos, Medjool, Elbo Room, Red Door Cafe ARE ALL HIPSTER

Four Barrel, Ritual, Dynamo Donuts, Delirium, Bender’s, Humphrey Slocombe, Tartine, Foreign Cinema, Delfina, Range, Amnesia, Revolution Cafe, The Summit ARE NOT HIPSTER

Hmm.

But seriously, we apologize for perpetuating all this “hipster” bullshit. Sometimes it just seems like a good idea.

    it’s “hipster” for websters/startup types. pretty sure half the yelp cast hangs at medjool too. yelp probably caught on to common search words and gave the people what they want. i’m sure “hipster” and “trendy” get typed in ALL THE TIME.

    Four Barrel is hell of hipster.

    Uhh, we’ll stop calling people hipsters when they stop being hipsters.

    Waiting for the Boring and Douchey tags.

    I think they need to add “Bro” to their oeuvre of ambience tags.

    Maybe “hipster” is simply too narrow – how about an “insufferable” tag?

    Though right on the money with farm:table…

  7. What about Planned Parenthood? Nothing but hipster douchebags there. Sometimes literally…

    People, please get it straight!

    Bars and restaurants you and your friends don’t go to: HIPSTER!

    Bars and restaurants you and your friends go to: NOT HIPSTER!

    Hipsters are losers, renters, bike nuts, and boys who wear girls skinny jeans.

    trust me, they are not the future.
