It sounds like a Hipster attitude to me. Anything that's good, and then becomes popular because word gets out that it's good, stops being good.

Personally, being in a really touristy place sets my teeth on edge. That's true whether I'm traveling in my home state or a foreign city 6,000 miles away. But if the destination itself is truly worth visiting, I put up with the crowds.
