W on D.C. Social Life

Posted by Angela Valdez on Aug. 21, 2008, at 2:23 pm

W magazine has a story out about the party-line segregation of D.C. nightlife. The commenters already have their fangs out, but I just had one quibble: since when are all liberals referred to as hipsters? The author contends that "in D.C. the term is synonymous with non-Republicans, not artsy types in tight pants and Converse sneakers." Maybe that's what some guy in pink pants said ... but really? I know a lot of hipster-hating, khaki-wearing liberals.

   Hell, I'm a hipster-hating, khaki-wearing liberal AND a CP contributor!

   What about race lines? I guess that's not as interesting.

   I'm a khaki-wearing liberal, I generally don't "party" anywhere, and I have nothing against hipsters. I actually like them, but am far too old and fogeyish myself to BE a hipster.
