Austin:

- Overcrowded and overpriced
- Live music is subpar
- Austinites are elitist pricks who were generally raised wealthy but dress like Bohemians and go out of their way to do dumb shite then call it trendy and cool
- 6th street is packed on the weekends with thugs and deviants

Only decent place to hang out in Austin is Rainey St.

Huffington Post even rated Austin the #1 overrated travel destination:

Drum roll, please, for this legend in its own mind, a mildly entertaining university town and state capital with fever dreams of greatness, a city whose entire purpose for breathing is to not be like everything else around it. When you're trying to set yourself apart from a place as large and as bold as Texas, you have to work really, really hard. Which could explain why everyone walks around here looking so stressed. Sprawling Austin is one of those unfortunate places that seems really smashing on paper. And then one ruins things by going. You have now been advised.

It is a vibrant city with a lot to do...so yeah, there are going to be people around...that's ignoring all of the peaceful outdoors stuff and off-the-beaten-path locations the city is notorious for.

overpriced

What is?

I will agree it is not as advertised, but it isn't subpar in terms of quality either.

People being themselves is stupid...everyone should shop at the GAP and act like their mom and dad. Get off my lawn.
