Minnesota is Hip

Buzzfeed.com is calling Minnesota the most hipster state in the union. (a hipster, according to the article, is "has been applied to both 'elitists' and 'poseurs,' those who strive to follow the latest fashion trends and those who buck trends in favor of unique eccentricity"). Yes - even hipper than New York and Oregon. Why are we so hip? Here are six reasons:

1. The Lumberjack Look
2. Live Theatre
3. Food Co-Ops and Farmers' Markets
4. Local Music (Bob Dylan, Prince, Soul Asylum, Husker Du, Atmosphere).
5. Bike Obession
6. Juno

The article concludes: "A hipster is just a Brooklynite who wishes they were from Minnesota because it's 'more real,' while genuine Minnesotans are exempt from the label."
