    Austin TX is gonna have to change their slogan lol.

    They strangled the slogan to death with copyright enforcement over a decade ago. Austin hasn’t been the tie-dye hippie blueberry in the tomato soup of Texas for a while. Its absolutely infested with techbro freaks and finance assholes now.

      That’s all well and good, but it’s irrelevant if you understood that the crux of that particular joke is simply their slogan being “keep Austin weird.” Not only have I never been to Austin (stone cold steve or otherwise), I’ve never even been to Texas. The geopolitics or demographics involved therein are of little consequence, assuming they have not already changed their slogan.
