is not universal. Hipsters are now to be found not in Brooklyn but in Nashville & New Jersey. Nashville I've only heard about, but I can tell you firsthand there are tons in NJ. I can just walk around and count the moustaches.
Where I am in NJ, I could walk into the Chipotle down the block and walk out with a $14.50/hr job covering my half of the rent and then some, no college degree needed. The Walmart ten minutes away is advertising $20/hr for full-time stockers. If there were four hipsters sharing my present digs - perfectly doable - and they all had day jobs as Walmart stockers, they'd each be earning $3200 a month pretax, on rent & utils of about $700 per month apiece - and they'd be 45 minutes on the PATH & subway from the Bowery Ballroom. That right there is math that attracts hipsters like flies to beer.
Sniffing the wind personally, my predictions for the next few years are Latin grunge, Asian emo, and Desi Girl Summer.
