Austin is not like the typical Texas city. Very environmentally conscious, kind of hippy dippy, big in the arts, etc. It is also gorgeous. Austin is located in the Texas Hill Country with rolling hills, lakes, natural springs, etc (most of the state is flat and not nearly as pretty).
However it's grown massively over the last 20 years and it's becoming a big city with all of the big city hassles - the beautiful hills are now covered with new homes, new highways, etc. I lived there in the 80's and it doesn't look or feel the same as it did then. So when people say keep Austin wierd, they mean hang on to what it was before.
Austin's not wierd, it's cool. But Austinites don't take the wierd reference as an insult. It's a badge of honor.
