Anyone following a Trend to be part of the cool group. Mainly people who buy Jordan's and Nike's to say they have them. Also people who will floss excessively in Shoe Groups like WDYWT (What Did You Wear Today)

Someone who wears certain brands of clothing or footwear because it's "hyped". Hypebeasts are often bi-sexual, though they will never admit it.

A stuck-up, self-centered young person who only wears hyped up streetwear brands including Stussy, Crooks & Castles, Orisue ect. Hypebeasts are often sneakerheads with a generic sense of style that often entails wearing neon colored sb dunks paired with new era fitted hats and god awful all over print hoodies and jeans so tight that they cut off the wearer's circulation to the brain. Hypebeast fashion sense is loosely based on the classic urban fashion sense of the 90s & 80s. But these hipster streetwear kids always O.D. on retro style. How are you gonna be born in 1991, and dress like you are a teenager in 1984? Most hypebeasts get their carbon-copied style from magazines like Complex and online forums dedicated to such streetwear.
Hypebeasts usually live in and around the urban centers of Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City and D.C. However, many cities across the country including Baltimore, Philly and the rougher boroughs of NYC (i.e. Brooklyn) maintain their distinct local urban style which differs greatly from the semi-homosexual hypebeast style. Since many hypebeasts hail from soft, posh suburban environments, they would probably get stomped the fuck out by twenty different pairs of Timberland boots and Air force 1's if they dare tread in the ghettos of such cities.
Although hypebeasts come from all different racial backgrounds, more often then not, most hypebeasts are Filipino or some other type of Asian because most of the hypebeast fashion brands were founded by Asians from California (i.e. Crooks & Castles, The Hundreds and LRG). This is a very recent social phenomenon because back in the 90s, urban fashion was usually strictly worn by blacks, latinos and certain whites who actually lived in urban areas.

Those hypebeast kids sitting at that table over there think their the shit. But their style is so homo. All of those short pussy mawfuckers would get beat the fuck up if they took a trip to say ... North Philly, Jamaica, Queens, West Baltimore or anywhere that was a real ghetto.

Everyone is a hypebeast. You wear the clothes you wear becasue you think someone will notice it, and think it is nice. And that itself will determine what you think is nice. Everyone including me, the person writing this definition, is a hypebeast.

Alright so this is basicaly what a hypebeast is:
1. A hypbeast is a person who collects underground trends such as stussy, The Hundreds, Huf, Supreme, etc. And maybe also be a person who is a shoe head, and collects Nike Sb's.
2. Hypbeasts Live in urban/Suburban places such as NYC, Bay Area, and a few places in Honolulu.
3. A lot of Hypebeasts skate, but are to scared to skate in there Sb's because of fear that they might crease or damage them. So after doing a trick, Hypebeasts might stop after doing a trick and wipe off dirt off their shoes.
4. Hypebeasts also wear bright retro colors such as neon colors like orange light blue and Purple.
Note: Purple is a HYPEBEAST color.
Hypebeasts where PURPLE too much. thats like there national color. haha.
