Jay Hathaway · 03/14/14 11:28AMJimmy Kimmel pulled a Jimmy Kimmel on hipster South by Southwest Music Festival attendees, sending a reporter out to ask them what they thought about some really obscure bands you probably haven't heard of. Because they don't exist.

Sarah Hedgecock · 03/05/14 03:10PMThis Is the Williamsburg of Your City: A Map of Hip America
Max Read · 01/29/14 11:30AMWhat is your city's Williamsburg? What's its hippest—or formerly hippest—or sometimes just youngest—neighborhood, the one with the art galleries and the boutiques and the lines for brunch? (And what, for that matter, is its Bushwick, or "Next Williamsburg"?) If you don't know off the top of your head, don't worry. We do, thanks to the collective knowledge of Gawker readers.

Gabrielle Bluestone · 05/12/13 01:19PMNathaniel Troy Maye and Tiwanna Tenise Thomason stole thousands of identities. And they might have gotten away with it, had it not been for a Morton's steak with macaroni and cheese, a meal so perfect and delectable it just had to be photographed and turned into food porn. It just had to be uploaded to Maye's Instagram account, uploaded with the perfect caption: "Morton's."

Urban Outfitters Coming to Williamsburg; Williamsburg Finally Gonna Learn How to Dress Cool
Caity Weaver · 03/05/13 06:45PMYesterday, when Williamsburg revealed its designs for the old Domino sugar factory site, people marveled at the gleaming new towers planned for the waterfront, or, more specifically, the giant gaping holes planned inside them. If solid buildings were the past, empty space-buildings are the future. Everything seemed very cool and neat and, at the end of the day, who doesn't love sugar so what were we talking about?
Urgent New York Times Trend News: Middle-Aged White People Have Jobs, Move Out of the City
Tom Scocca · 02/18/13 10:40AMThe Sunday Styles section of the New York Times exists to make folks mad, to be sure (and to sell handbag ads), but it is not really worth getting mad about this past weekend's paired section-front irritants—a profile of BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith, and a trend piece about people forsaking Brooklyn to hipsterize towns in the Hudson Valley—at least not at face value. Each hits the obvious flabbergasting or infuriating notes as it is designed to: OMG LOL BuzzFeed b/w Aren't Hipsters Awful. As far as the intentional content goes, there's nothing to do but roll one's eyes and move on. Let's go ahead and do that, shall we? First BuzzFeedBen:

Caity Weaver · 08/16/12 11:14AMEverything That Happens at Williamsburg Pool Freighted With Heavy Sociocultural Significance
Hamilton Nolan · 07/05/12 08:47AMGenerally speaking, no mischief perpetrated by teenagers is "news." Teenagers not perpetrating mischief is news. This is because—no matter what race, creed, nationality, or socioeconomic stratum they come from—teenagers are punks. Do not, however, tell this to the New York Times. They have a very incisive sociological story to write.

Adrian Chen · 04/30/12 03:41PMIt's been more than a year since the Japanese tusnami caused a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant and the clean-up continues. But a bit of background radiation has not stopped a crew of Japanese hipsters from doing their hip business in the area. They've formed the "Gamma Watch Squadron," the world's coolest nuclear watchdogs.
