because they're just about the same price point and around the same level of drinkability
really there's not much distinction between it, the "hipsters drink PBR" stereotype is really more accurately "hipsters drink cheap beer", because by definition they don't have much money but attempt to gain status through "having taste". PBR was just the go-to cheap-but-drinkable beer that was stocked as the cheapest option at urban bars in the neighborhoods where this culture developed.

but there's no real reason why it had to be PBR, with other brands at a similar price point and drinkability. and a lot of the big gentrifying areas in the country are in hispanic neighborhoods, where tecate is a known quantity. and PBR's maybe got a bit of a stigma and maybe isn't quite as good.

I'd argue that, aside from all these beers being more or less the same, pic related is the true successor to PBR's hipster status. if anyone is picking up PBR-in-particular's lost market share, I'm pretty sure it's Hamm's, and they trade on similar "the beer my uncle used to drink" kind of pseudobranding.
