[B.]

This music video -- "Hipster Girl," from only a few
weeks ago; January 16, 2008! -- includes the line,
"What's with all these hipsters moving to
Williamsburg!?!?"

"Get a load of the poor, persecuted artists: First
they undertake some of the most aggressive
gentrification in history (and the speed and
efficiency of the hipster takeover of Williamsburg
deserves a dissertation), then they piss and moan when
things come to their only natural conclusion - while
simultaneously bragging about their own role in
furthering the process."
