Adjective: Often used by
yuppies, hipsters, or liberal news outlets to describe "cool" and "
authentic" neighborhoods full of working-class, predominantly ethnic people and businesses.
Vibrant is not usually used to describe "the hood" though--a
vibrant neighborhood is a neighborhood where it's jumpin', but you won't get jumped.
Kelsey: Man, I love the Mission! Look at all these amazing Mexican murals on the buildings.
Cody: This is such a vibrant neighborhood. Let's go get
pupusas.
Newscaster: Local residents of the vibrant
Midtown neighborhood are fighting to keep from being evicted in the face of rising rent prices.
