This song brings back so many memories. So sad the show is gone, it really was genius. The intro song screams Portland. I lived there for a year and I miss it a lot.
@@quinngayton8010 I lived there for a year back in like 2008. It really was gorgeous. I don’t believe the hype, but I’ve seen a lot of videos of these far left Progressive cities. A lot of them are doing too well. I think Portland got a lot better in the last year or two. But Seattle I think is a different case no?
malanie: wish San Francisco was still like that. Now it's all techies. If it wasn't for the immigrants, there would be nothing interesting here at all.
Just started watching this show yesterday on Netflix. I had been meaning to watch it since it started, but man, I never regretted not watching it as I do now. This show is the bomb, man.
Funny coincedence- I started watching this yesterday on Netflix- not bad, pretty funny and silly, which is good!!!@ I especially liked this opening song part!!!@
@@Viva_la_naturaIt was genius at the time because the show was describing something believed to be fringe. It’s less funny now because the fringe culture the show described has become mainstream and we’re all living it. It’s pretty depressing.
I was born and raised in Portland and ever since this place got popular its been a mecca for hipsters. Hipsters. From all over the country, mostly from California, with a high expectation for Portland to be their hipster home for their hipster accessories. Wide-rimmed glasses, beards, piercings, prius or bicycle. And everyone is an elitist about something. Because of Portland's high residential demand from these hipsters, its become too expense for Portland natives to live here. The traffic is so bad it takes me an hour to drive less than 10 miles after work and the area is expecting another 100,000 people within the next couple years.
+AJAENGR I live on FOPO, and if its 4Pm it take 45min - hour just to get across the Ross Island, the struggle is real brother I understand your feels. It's fucking nuts how many of my Neighbors are from the mid-west and if you say you where born here its supersizing to them. "you have never lived in another city?" no I have not sorry to disappoint.
+aaron4820 people that are actually from Portland own cars, most likely a 1999 Subaru outback that there parents bought them there senior year of high school and now there 30 and still have the same car.
Yeah it's definitely hit and miss for me but they do have some really good bits and I personally like the overall concept of the show, I mean at least it's original. I can definitely see why a lot of people don't like it though you really can't take it seriously and there are a lot of unfunny bits p.s. nice user name haha
Walked by a maybe 30- or 40- something white lady yesterday talking to some dude about how she's just always wanted to go to Portland and live there and RETIRE there. Successfully suppressed the urge to sing "The dream of the nineties is alive in Portland" as I passed her. #LifeGoals
Nicoli Dominn . Likely two bars into your singing that tune would have ignited her to either dance, or finishing the tune herself with her pinkish-brown plaid shirt, flowing in the wind as she glanced across the street where her next internet cafe rest break will go dwon.
Ah yea, don't move here. I've lived in Portland all my life. Please please please, go away. It really used to be the place to retire, but now it's over flowing with wannabes and crime.
Yes, what Wise Wizard said. Is Portland still a thing?.....now that we know Russ Bruv is alive and working with boats, we need to know if the dream is indeed still alive in Portland?
i LOVE living in Portland! I'm telling you, "the dream of the 90's is alive in Portland." I moved here from the LA area a few months ago & I will never ever look back. Oregon is best state I've ever lived. it's perfect to me, I've lived in a few different states & I will say Oregon is the best state of them all.
+Sarah Ann Aboueljoud people in Portland are way different than in Cali, Oregon is the only place I've ever been where the people are more understanding & tolerant of each other. I'll never live anywhere else as long as I live.
+cali_ kush70 Dude you are seriously so lucky, I've been wanting to live in Portland forever now but I'm just stuck here in Sac maybe I should go for college next year I dunno
90's the next decade of nostalgia. But in all seriousness I would have liked to move to Portland in another life but California hipsters have made it so damn expensive.
This show might be part of the reason of 55 thousand new Portlanders in the past decade. Not saying it's THE reason, but this show turned heads to this city, no doubt.
when to Portland, Oregon about 10 years ago, and I from New Zealand, love the song, and the city, such a nice place, and love Portlandia series, hope it keep,s going, from Rick, Dunedin, New Zealand

Is hipster some kind of catch-all term these days for anyone who's a little quirky or "different"? Just trying to understand. Though it kinda sucks people are so judgmental like that :-/ Especially in this so called "progressive" day and age. And don't get me wrong, I wouldn't call myself a hipster, but it still seems like it'd be better than being one of those Type A, wannabe "alpha" types who act like they've got their shit all together, like how most of the people are where I live and most of the people on the net :-/ Someone should do a show parodying them - its only fair, right? :-) Hey, I tried being like them for years - just didn't work out. "If you can't join them, do your own thing". At least the characters on Portlandia stay true to themselves and seem like individuals I can somewhat relate to as a human being. Well, some of the characters, haha. Others are a bit out there, I agree. But who are we to judge? Doesn't seem like they're hurting anyone. Live and let live. Wish I could find more people like that. If that makes me a "hipster", so be it. Sorry for the rant and long post, just get tired of being called things like "pretentious" by internet douchebags who don't know a thing about me. If they don't like me and don't want to even try to understand, they should just leave me the fuck alone and ignore me like most people in my life and like people did to my other post on here (I'm used to it, so whatever) :-/ Yet for some reason I keep trying to put myself out there (even with a busted keyboard, took forever to type this lol) and do something positive with my life... Since no one else seems to stick up or care for people like us. Please check out my Channel if anyone relates to what I'm saying (made it for people like us) - Thank You.
"That girl" is Carrie Brownstein. She was born in Seattle, and has always lived in the pacific northwest. She moved to Portland about 13 years ago. That may not make her a native, but it's a lot closer than most of the people that live here these days.
She’s from Olympia! She went to Evergreen State College, and the name of her band is Sleater-Kinney. I only know this because I live in Olympia and I love her and when I read her wiki page I was overjoyed when I read she is from the same city as me
I recall a time when anyone could afford to live downtown Portland - if you wanted to. Up until 2007 I had a 2 bed close to downtown in the South Burlingame district for $450 - yes the entire apt. Up until that time before housing crisis homes were selling and apts sat empty. The unit I found had been empty for 6 months. This would never happen now. Hipsters took over and now can’t afford it. Million dollar condos etc. So crazy!
Remember when Portland was "cute"? It's sort of like when parents sigh and say "Well, there were signs, symptoms really, but we really didn't pay enough attention." Then they find out about the string of murders.
Portland used to be the place where young people go to retire, but now with skyrocketing costs and people flocking here, you can't work part-time at a coffee shop and afford a studio anymore. Sorry, folks.
My daughter is watching Portlandia on Netflix and now I miss living there :( even though I only lived there for a couple of years because that’s where the work was

Now old... Did not age well.
when I lived in Portland I got on the tram and there was a guy dressed like a jester for no apparent reason lol
did you ask him if he had any quests?
When he got home he probably told the story about how he saw someone on the tram dressed like a normal person for no reason.
