Sounds like you know the Greater Detroit area too, Jules! Yeah, this is perhaps the downside of Detroit trying to revive itself by attracting affluent young people in search of the "big city experience"-- you get flyover-country hipsters playing Let's Pretend We're in Brooklyn. And thereby managing to somehow be even more insufferable than the genuine article! (Quite an accomplishment.)

Ha, yeah I used to live in the area. Hello, fellow Midwesterner though!

You hit the nail on the head summing up Detroit hipsters. The last time I was in town I saw a barefoot woman carrying a banjo down Woodward Avenue. That’s some bullshit I haven’t seen even in Burlington or Portland.

The hipsters seem to be fighting to win the idiot title from the suburban couples who buy abandoned ornate mansions for $500 to renovate and then are shocked when it’s full of crackheads.
