When someone moves to Hackney and turns into a feral man-baby with a beard like a goat and a mouth full of bad decisions. They wear braces, ride a fixie like it’s a holy relic, and suddenly decide they’re vegan because they saw a documentary and it hit them like a brick.

DM: 'I moved to Hackney and now I eat kale for breakfast and ride a bike that costs more than my rent.'

Tweet: 'Hackney made me vegan. I used to eat burgers. Now I eat salads. I don’t even know what a burger is anymore.'

Text: 'I moved to Hackney and now I wear braces and think I’m cool.'
