#BangaloreHypeTrain

Sooo I feel like Bangalore is a city that lives on Hype, everyone is just trying to be cool and are too afraid of actually call out stuff for what they are.

Few examples (my personal opinion)

Eat Naru - itโ€™s good ramen, but you can definitely find better or as good (bookings are sold out in minutes) Pizza 4Ps - Average pizza, great hospitality but not worth waiting for a booking a month in advance Ultrahuman ring - Itโ€™s not even that accurate for that price March Tee - good T-shirt, but you can find so much better at that price point

I like to call this the Bangalore Hype Train xP

Totally Agree with this, everyone wants to get validation or some kind of approval from ultra rich or dumb influencers, I think it's totally influenced by Tech Cuties mostly from North India working in Startups (HSR, Koramangala). These dumbfucks who never stepped out of their world get excited for silly things, imagine people standing outside a biryani shop at 4am, people standing in a queue sandwich..uff this all insta validation stories matters for them, they seek happiness by impressing or making someone jealous of.

Yeah, Tech cuties on Twitter with snap filters make single tech Bros go crazy about them ๐Ÿ™. These people are living in a different world by phuking some dopamine ganja ๐Ÿค‘.

Heard this kinda crap is not relevant in old bangalore where the natives are much grounded and prefer to indulge in things in old bangalore at darshinis and templles and detest and hate the new bangalore mostly inhibited by the outsiders.

I'm living at home due to WFH and never ever even heard of anything you just mentioned. Not even from friends living in Blr or on insta. Feels like I'm living in a completely different world.

Since I like food, I would like to comment on the places. Both might not be the best out there but they're the best in consistency. Other places are like a hit or miss. One day it's great, other day it's so-so.

True, Iโ€™m from Bombay and honestly there are better places which are consistent - but thereโ€™s no hype around it as much as Bangalore.

Bastian might be the most hyped place in India. I can definitely name a few more. Every city has the hype train that pushes the agenda of 'if you haven't eaten from here, you have not tried anything'.

Tech crowd of Bangalore is a circlejerk, and tries so hard to be SF/Bay Area.

Bangalore economy is running on fomo

Instagram drives fomo have created epidemic of status driven consumption like โ‚น2500 for a one hour class of pottery, strawberry picking for Rs. 2000.

What happened to free activities like playing morning cricket or enjoying IPL finale...

Food trucks are out, Clothes trucks are in!

Summary: Bengaluru, renowned as the 'Startup Capital of India,' showcased its innovative spirit once again. A man captured a surprising moment of a walk-in apparel showroom, resembling a high-end fashion display within a truck.
