Stockholm, Sweden: Hipster’s Paradise
The Swedish hipster prototype
If hipsters had a Mecca, Stockholm would be it. Forget Gangsta’s Paradise, this is Hipster’s Paradise. I attribute it to the fact that you combine a group of depressed people (the guy at the music store told me all Swedes are depressed, hence their music), a love of simple aesthetics, and the prevalence of H&Ms (no kidding, in the one shopping district they have four separate stores all in one each corner of the street, and that is only a smattering of the more than 30 stores they have in the city), and you have the perfect hipster world.

They are taking over the world~ I’m obviously living on the wrong continent.

Try and find a nice hipster boy and start a hipster family. He can serenade you with Shout Out Louds covers and you can wear tights and dresses on all your dates. How dreamy.
