So you moved to Bushwick for the cheap rent and interesting crowd...but let's be honest. You wanted to be trendy, and now you find yourself like this.

You claim your corner bodega has the best sandwiches in NYC, and you'll vouch your vintage army boots on it.

All those old warehouses in horror movies now look like great venues to host your local, electro-folk indie band.

Cause that's good for your general safety.

5. You're self-conscious that you work a 9-5.

As you schlep off to Manhattan to work for the man - you feel guilty that you're not that person in the cafe writing your memoir and sipping a drip coffee...with soy milk, of course.

6. You post WAY too many pictures of graffiti art.
