That's not my experience - I find that the entire six-corner area of North/Damen/Milwaukee (centered around the L, Flash Taco, etc) is a sea of popped polo collars, drunk 20-something girls shrieking into the air, testosterone and hair gel on weekend nights.
Hipsters (such as they are) = Pilsen, perhaps Uptown, Edgewater/Andersonville, Ukrainian Village, Logan Square.... Wicker Park/Bucktown is very much home to the condo-owning Lincoln Park Chad/Trixie who can't afford Clark St.
