Description: This song is about what it was like moving to New York City when I had just turned 18. I didn't know anyone, I was broke and I was memorized by all the rich fashionable beautiful people. This was in 2009 when the whole fad of having a hipster no-effort wardrobe was coming to the public eye so I joined that movement because it was affordable and still acceptable in New York City.

This song is about what it was like moving to New York City when I had just turned 18. I didn't know anyone, I was broke and I was memorized by all the rich fashionable beautiful people.

lyrics

I was broke, I had no money,
But I wanted to fit in

All the people were so pretty
I'd never seen anything quite like it

All those bright lights
On those dark lonely nights
New York City I fell for you

So when I couldn't afford the fashion
I did what I had to do

(Chorus)
I became a hipster
I bought my v-necks
Got zip-up hoodies
And some chuck taylor's
I listened to records
And I liked Wes Anderson films
Or at least I said I did.

No on wanted to play flip cup,
They'd never heard of beer pong

They had grown up in Hollywood hotels
Places I could only dream of.

They never had to work,
Or ride the Subway
I wondered why that would be like

So I rode the subway
And zipped my hood up
Stepped out into the light.

(Chorus)
I became a hipster
I bought my v-necks
Got zip-up hoodies
And some chuck taylor's
I listened to records
And I liked Wes Anderson films
Or at least I said I did.

Oh ahh, oh
Oh ahh, oh
Oh ahh, oh
Oh ahh, oh

I became a hipster
I got some flannel
And I wore big glasses
That I didn't need
And I hung out in bookstores
And I shopped at Urban
And I only drank organic coffee

Oh New York City,
Oh New York City,
Oh New York City,
What have you done, to me?
