Canberra makes the hip list

A close study of the ABS stats also indicates we will the hip replacement capital around 2046.

It doesn’t get any cooler or hipper than Kaleen.

Sorry Johnboy, but you’ve been in Canberra too long. There are no canberra suburbs that are even remotely cool. Go live in Newtown, Redfern, Surry Hills, Fitzroy, Brunswick etc for a while and then get back to us – they’re worlds apart.

The original article here.

It’s not about actual hip, but suburbs with the right demography which is identified as a hot spot for trend setters.

And I can’t think of anything from Braddon or City (City is the name of the suburb btw, postcode 2600) that has set trends.

Only one thing for it – nuke ’em both!

but it’s hip to be a square!

So, 28 year old married fashion designer rock star without a degree what has a company in New York = Not Hip.

21 year old graduate in commerce working at treasury = Hip.

It’s almost like they are telling Crikey’s target market they are in fact hip.

This sort of drivel is why people don’t subscribe to Crikey unless they are in the public service or spend too much time reading political tripe.

Canberra is a good place to live, but a hip place? No.
