For a brief period of time in the middle aughts, Williamsburg, Brooklyn was known for being the epicenter of independent art and music. Rotting warehouses and industrial factories whose former inhabitants had been mostly vagrant were quickly transformed into grimy venues and dwellings for a generation of "creative weirdos." Said weirdos were interested in a handful of things: making music, having that music be heard, and creating a space where like-minded people could come together and party. What they ended up with was a hipster version of Thomas Moore's Utopia, a scene where artistic boundaries were not only pushed to the brim, but also exploded.
