"… a church for down-and-outers and those who romanticize them, a rare place where high and low rub elbows—bums and poets, thieves and slumming celebrities. It’s a place that wears its history proudly. Why are dive bars shabby? Because outcasts generally have little to celebrate except celebration itself, and yesterday’s grime embodies those memories.”
It's a fancy yet unintentional way of saying, "Room full of pretentious poseur douchebags enamored with the idea of their own hip" An actual "dive bar"'s clientele isn't intentionally "slumming" for its own amusement.
God this city has gotten so fucking pretentious lately. I blame Treme, mostly, but that's just me.
