W on D.C. Social Life

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!

  2. Tamara Says:

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

  3. Mr. T in DC Says:

    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.
