Does anyone else dislike the "Startup" community?

[Shepherd]

I live in Louisville as well eliquid, and I roll my eyes everytime the news promotes these startup events, usually during the "business" section of the newscast. Fischer (Louisville's mayor) is always there for his camera time and it's usually in NULU (the hipster area of Louisville). I watch and listen and in my head, all I am thinking is: there's a slowlaner, there's another slowlaner and oh, suprise, there's a sidewalker. It's all about keeping up appearances and making the city look like it's trending with upward mobility and progress. Whatever let's 'em sleep at night.

[/QUOTE]
I'm in the Louisville area as well and get invited to "meetups" every couple weeks. As a redneck with little interest in overpriced cocktails, I tend to steer clear.
