Where in Vancouver is the best place to spot a PBR-swilling, 20-something goddamn hipster?

Vancouver: No Fun City, right? You know who makes it that way? It's not the inept politicians who say one thing and do another or those Critical Massholes clogging up our streets. Nope, blame hipsters. They are an infestation worse than bedbugs could ever be. And, while we've never had to fumigate our houses against a plague of tight pants and beardos, our fair city has become overrun by PBR-swilling 20-somethings who can't be arsed to dance at shows.

In this year's Best of Vancouver survey, we asked you—the discerning, intelligent, obviously awesome public that we know you are (and thank you for filling out all 250 of those questions, by the way; we're still tallying your answers)—where in Vancouver is the best place to spot hipsters.

The results come out on September 23. Until then, tell us why you picked the spots you did.

I honestly can't tell if that is a boy or a girl but I know THIS much. Whatever it is, it has absolutely no taste, rhyme or obvious sense of reason. As to where to find more? Not my table; let the exterminators deal with this species of whatever it is.

As someone who is often considered a hipster, I find it shocking and appalling that a journalist from the Georgia Straight would write this kind of filth. Comparing us to bedbugs and the plague is extremely dehumanizing, and I demand a prompt apology.

Anywhere there's a cycling "activist" talking about bike lanes.

Or hanging around GS newspaper boxes.

Oh hipsters...
I wish I could explain why I mentioned where I did, but if I tell you then the ones reading this board will know where they can find more of their kind. Must prevent! So alas... I'm not telling.

hipster rights?
look hipster, if you want rights that means you believe in something (not ironic) and therefore are no longer a hipster.

Dear Bella,

Your appeal for justice on the basis of these 'dehumanizing' remarks illustrates precisely the reason that hipsters are like bed bugs that need to be exterminated.

What is it that intelligent people despise so much about you?

Its the fact that you make appeals to justice as though you were canvasing for amnesty international in front of some bourgeois cafe on10th and Main, while at the same time you're entire existence is based on the consumption of products that are produced by people who could never afford the kind of lifestyle you have.

Dear Bella R.:

WTF? You're obviously one of those poseur hipsters whose favourite movies are 500 days of Summer, Adventureland, Juno, Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, and Garden State. If you were a real hipster you would laugh and take a picture of yourself posing in front of this article with puppy dog eyes and a funny caption.

You're the reason people hate hipsters.

"Hipster" is one of the most mis and overused words of the last few years.

On the flip, so is "douchebag."

@Boon You think it's causation? Or mere correlation?

I'd tell you where you could find them, but you've probably never heard of it, so I wont bother.

I'm pretty sure I have never been in any real danger of being labelled a hipster (although I do agree with Boon that the term has become - or has always been - pretty meaningless, anyway). However, I'll take people not dancing at shows to people celebrating public pseudo-epileptic seizures as the epitome of hyper-authentic enjoyment any day. Likewise, what's wrong with PBR compared to the wine coolers and Jaeger-shots in Granville Street meat markets (hey, people dance there!) or real authentic rock shows remains your very own secret. Which reminds me, I still have to pick up some Old Milwaukee and trim my beard. So, have yourself a great unironic weekend.

You mean you don't KNOW??? Well, it's really obscure, and you won't have heard of it.
