For the most part Austin is very wealthy and very young. It is also a mecca for affluent retirees who move here for the warmer climate, closeness to children working in the tech sector, very tolerant social structure, and the diversity of the population in every category you can name. So, people are liberated to express themselves artistically. The downside is that the pendulum is swinging too much in one direction allowing the currently dominant persuasion to try to dictate speech and ideas; but there is currently strong push back which is normal and a good thing to validate ideas.
