So what you're saying is what's really important is being cool and artsy girls?

And countless real artists have been obsessed with money, fame and the life that surrounds it. You're putting out just as many naive generalizations about people as you're accusing "startup hipsters" of having.

I'm also really curious what you do with your time and your life that puts you above all this?

+1 curious about this. Most people involved in startup culture (I say this as a marketer who lives in Brooklyn and works with and advises many startups on marketing) are in it to work hard and change the world. There are few delusions of grandeur in reality, but this idea that this mindset exists has been propogated by those who can profit from seeding the idea.

I won't name names.
