Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
We recently re-shared a vintage post naming the top twelve Denver neighborhoods for hipsters.
The latter term definitely riles some people up.
But others believe that hipsters are unfairly denigrated in the Mile High City.
Here's a passionate argument against hipster-bashing.

Let's take a big ol' steamy shit on those who actually create and contribute to the culture in this city. Why does the Santa fe arts district exist? Hipsters. RINO? Hipsters. Why is Cap Hill a desirable neighborhood for some? Hipsters. Fuck it. Just move to Lafayette already if you want homogenousness.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way.

Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
