So when did Park Slope become "shorthand for all that is evil and twee?"

Writer Lynn Harris reached out to the snarky Brooklynian message board to get quotes from Park Slope locals about why people hate Park Slope. Here, in her own words, is her request.

I’m the writer who wrote the Time Out New York Kids article last spring
about why people hate Park Slope. (I wrote the penultimate draft of the
article, anyway; it got edited rather beyond recognition — without my
OK — and wound up snarky, which was not my goal.)
 

Anyway, humbly/-ed, I’m back, now writing a similar, but more in-depth
article on the same topic for New York Magazine (interesting, as
they’ve fueled some of the hate themselves). The difference will be
that this one will focus not just on WHAT people say they hate about
PS, but also WHY the hate seems to have become a meme of its own. Why
PS and not other gentrified, Bugaboozled parts of Manhattan? Why has
Park Slope become shorthand for all that is evil and twee? Why is the
hate so virulent — WHERE (beyond anonymous blog posts) is it coming
from? Envy? Rage against the suburbanization of all of NYC, with PS as
ground zero? Simple cooler-than-thou-ness? Something else?
 

As a 14-year resident who loves it here (even married to a local!), I
have my theories, but I’m curious to hear yours, *no matter what* your
feelings about the Slope (or the "new" Slope, etc.). Interested in
speaking to haters, lovers puzzled/rankled by the hate, anyone in
between. Feel free to post here, obvie, but I’d like to follow up by
email or phone, so you can also PM me or email me directly at lynn@lynnharris.net.
