a portmanteau of the words "Christian" and "
hipster", which defines an emerging group of young (typically middle-class white) adults particularly in
America but also Europe who identify with the Christian spirituality, but tend to hang out in
coffee shops, listen Bon Iver, and read Russian literature.
"
Wow, Jude takes a lot Instagram pictures while reading religious text. That man must be a Chripster!"
"All those Chripsters at Harvard Seminary are such
coffee snobs! Every time I walk into a class with a
Starbucks cup, they all scowl at me incredulously."
