-(noun) A hybrid of Chicago archetypes chad and hipster: The chipster is truly a chad at heart bringing all the innate baggage associated with being a vain, ignorant, Big 10 fun boy with him as he externally transforms into the Wicker Park staple hipster. This quasi-transformation can be easily spotted by the telltale Pabst t-shirt and excessively spikey hair.

Depending on the region, the Chipster usually develops out of a sense of nostalgia for a lost culture that they are able to explore because of their socio-economic status. They are well educated. They can be found at bars ordering Mezcal quoting Anzaldua and Julio Cortizone. They typically listen to a blend of alternative American rock, indie Spanish language bands, vintage music in either language (especially obscure sad ones).
The Chipster aesthetic usually blends styles from traditional Mexican fashion, to East L.A. Chola aesthetics but incorporate contemporary white indie and alternative culture. They either currently attend or have attended a formal Art School program.
Owns at least one jean jacket with pins.
