Don’t know why I’m so obsessed with this but it’s driving me crazy that the idea of Williamsburg being hip is all the rage right now so I need to make fun of it.

So! If Williamsburg was hip or is hip in 2003, what does that make someone, like ME, who moved here in 1993? A full TEN years before the hipness melt-down we seem to be experiencing today?

Using a very conservative approach of one superlative per 2 years, that would make ME super-ultra-über-mega-extra-HIP (at least in this one very important sphere of NYC life: choosing a neighborhood to live in).

Or, to simplify, you may refer to me as urhip (pronounced ER-hip). permanent link to this post
