group of male grad students in philosophy or English who wear scruffy beards and shaggy haircuts, often accompanied by sportcoats with leather elbows and suitably ironic brimmed hats. Can usually be found sipping coffee or cheap beer, smoking hand-rolled cigarettes and name-dropping obscure authors and/or film directors. May also be in a hipster band, or just off collecting books, music and DVDs which nobody else cares about.
