Hipsters (or: "Hipsters") are as vilified in fair Gotham as white-collar Wall Street crooks and tourists. From the “Punch the Hipster” iPhone App to the "Look at this Fucking Hipster" Tumblr, much has been accomplished in recent years to denigrate the young and tragically cool. But it's hard to keep them down, especially since hipsters are blissfully ignorant when it comes to self-awareness. It's always a hipster that calls the guy hogging Big Buck Hunter a fucking hipster.

Every week, a quirky bar opens in Brooklyn. But if you can't stand the new photo booth-having, ironically-enjoyed Top 40-playing joint on the block because the one you found in '03 is more real, this one's for you.

These are the 25 Lamest Hipster Bars in New York City. Do with it what you will. Vaya con L-Train.
