I didn't know there was a dive bar fad, but recently a friend who grew up in New Jersey was talking about how much it annoyed her that all the rich kids she went to school with always wanted to go to "dives" because it was cool. I always thought of it as a hipster thing, but I don't know that these people are hip.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
An uncaffeinated Perkins? Do I want to know that person?
FUCK!
My bank put a fraud hold on my debit card. I paid $274.00 on a cable bill by phone this morning, but instead they charged me $2,740.00.
They're gonna remove the fraud hold in a few minutes.
What's cool about it? "Authenticity" - which hipsters crave because they have none.
Also, strong, cheap booze.
I like dive bars because the booze is cheaper, I don't have to get dressed up and they tend to be much less crowded.
Why are you giving up caffeine, Perkins? It's like the best drug ever!

No fair asking the hard questions when I've had no caffeine!
I just drink way too much of it, and moderation doesn't work well for me with it.

Perkins. I support you. GO YOU!!!
Hey! It's an amusing crosspost!
Yeah, what Kristen said. When I was young and went to bars for the sake of drinking, it was always dive bars. I could drink alone, and no one would bug me, unless it was friends also seeking the cheap comforts of home away from our own liquor cabinets.

Hey! I asked a legitimate question! Have you ever been off the bean since I've known you?
I like all kinds of bars from swanky to themed to dives. They each have their own flavor. As noted, dive bars do have the advantage of cheaper prices.
