You can read the original article in the New York Times ….but we at twenty-somethings.com prefer snarktastic Gawker’s take on the tragedy befalling many parental-backed artist folks who now have to do such horrid things as get jobs or work 8 hours a day.

But what’s going to happen to all those Brooklyn bands now that they have to have day jobs? Maybe they try to make it big with NBC News’s Brian Williams and his new, very strange, independent music channel “BriTunes“. (Why the heck is news man Brian Williams profiling bar bands???)

You can see them everywhere now — from London, to Brooklyn, to San Fran and in between. Blogs have been popping up all over the places letting you decide ‘Homeless or Hipster?‘ or just letting us gawk like www.latfh.com.

But now Details Mag is on the case, investigating ‘How looking Poor Became the New Status Symbol‘. Read on for a hilarious look at the Poorgeoisie hipster we’ve all come to know and love.
