You're engaging in this fake, utterly distasteful blend of irony and feigned enthusiasm that will eventually cause the city to self-implode under the density of its own facetiousness. Soon you won't be able to identify a single genuine emotion within its borders. Its all an ACT, because that's what keeps the whole city from feeling like a big lie."

I’ve now lived in San Diego California for 20 years and getting the hell out of texas was THE BEST decision I’ve ever made in my entire life. I don’t miss not even one thing about texas. There’s a reason that Texas isn’t really on anybody’s list of their next vacation destination, and if for some reason it is, it’s only because they have family there, otherwise that person might as well just flush their vacation fund down the toilet… or they could just throw it into the water in Galveston cuz that water literally looks as if all the port-o-potties in the entire world are emptied into it… weekly, lol

It was never intended to be a big city, the streets weren't designed for a lot of cars, driving sucks. Most of my life I hoped to move back, but I finally had to admit that I never want to go back! The people that made Austin Cool have all moved to San Antonio, Dallas or West Texas.

[@jcen1918]

Tim's saying that Austin is lame because it's parochial as fuck, where every yokel from Texas moves to move to "the big city." Not because it's become more cosmopolitan in the past 20 years, which is what you're arguing. It's second rate compared to LA or NY.

[@watchchimp3102]

@@jcen1918 I think you've totally mischaracterized not only what I said, but what he said and what I know from personal experience. "Yokals" from the country typically don't move to Austin. Waco? Yes; Temple? Yes; some of the smaller towns outside of Austin(Roundrock)? Possibly. But, specifically he was complaining about the "Keep Austin Weird", pink haired, hipster, Millenials and Gen Xers. AND other transplants; mostly Tech/money types like Elon Musk. Personally, like him, I don't get it? Austin, hasn't been Cool or Weird for at least 20 years; it rode its "Cool" reputation for a while, now it's sort of a train wreck. 5 years ago, most of the "Cool" people in the Bishop Arts district of Dallas were Austin transplants; in fact Dallas which for many years was considered the most uncool place in Texas is now Cooler than Austin! Unfortunately, Dallas too is quickly being ruined by people moving here, traffic, and uncontrolled growth.

[@jcen1918]

@@watchchimp3102 I meant "yokals" in the sense that Tim Dillon describes the people of Austin: those who move to a second rate city b/c they can't hack it in a better city and who have a bizarre try-hard faux-weirdness as their personality type. The unbearably hip people exist in NY and LA too, but the difference is they are productive and making interesting shit, whereas in Austin they are all drifting. BTW, Tim's anecdote of the bachelorette who gets shot and makes a facebook post of a Hallmark quote...is the more prototypical yokal, who occasionally swoops into austin to hit up 6th street and feast on what little creative output the city has.

Austin used to be a sleepy, laidback college town. It used to be a fun weekend get away from big Texas cities like Houston or Dallas. Now it just got too trendy and too crowded. Lost all of its charm. Gentrification.

[@claytonlh]

There is a large culture in Austin that just wants to go to work, get drunk and eat good food. I was a part of that. In recent years there's been tons of companies and upstarts coming out of ATX. It's not for everyone. A lot of people don't get what Austin offers. I will say the hipsters from Portland, NY and La have taken over. The pretentious vibe and homeless has gotten crazy. It's unfortunate. Still, it's a badass town. I prefer the Hill Country right outside of it though.

I'm from Dallas. I left 15 years ago, but I have ALWAYS said this stuff about Austin and its the same 20 years later. It is overcrowded and its not even worth it, there's nothing there. Once you've done Hamilton pool and zilker and had barbecue you've done Austin. Maybe go to Antone's. Or a few vintage shops. Its overrated and its mainly a bunch of idiots who went to college there raving about it anyway.

[@Cornell-uz9mc]

Im originally from Houston and that is Exactly what i did. I left Austin 10 years ago since living there since 2005. I had enough at that point. I had a nice house, had a boat on the lake, plenty of friends ..... sounds like "the dream" right? ........ but there was something always that felt like it was missing ...... I felt like I was really wasting time and rotting away in my PRIME professional years ...... moved to Dallas and love it.

I lived in Austin for 3 years. Everything he’s saying is true. What no one tells you is that there is a double digit percentage of Austin’s population rotating in and out every 6-12 months because they can’t make a living. It still attracts a lot of people because of its reputation that started in the 70s, about being this great place. It was. Not anymore. There’s no longer anything unique about Austin, Texas

[@kirsten5685]

Funny this video came up as a suggestion as I am pondering moving out of Austin for the past weeks. I started hating the weather, not the heat, but the hazy grey skies. If I had the money I would never buy an over-priced house here. Not worth it. I will move away, just not sure where.

[@didiermontagnier6114]

Overpriced houses and sky high property taxes. It’s the people that makes Austin a nightmare.
