At bars and cafes, the conversation is the same old echo chamber; re-affirming the world changing nature of the next Snapchat copy.
I hear this stated as fact all the time, but is it really true? I can't speak for cafes, as I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'm in a lot of SF bars, very often, and I very rarely hear talk like this. Certainly not in my friend groups, and rarely (if ever) from adjacent conversations that I overhear.
Sure, this is anecdotal, but pretty sure all the reports I've heard of the opposite are anecdotal as well. Or maybe I tend to frequent bars that don't feature a tech-douche clientele.
Widening the net a bit, my conversations with friends and acquaintances does not include this sort of vapid tripe. The nature of the next Snapchat copy is a topic of derision, not re-affirmation. I wouldn't consider myself to be the most extroverted person in the world, but I do tend to meet and converse with a decent variety of people.
So really, who are these people all over SF who talk like this? I just don't encounter them regularly, or even non-rarely.
