Frippster 

A hipster devoted to Progressive Rock and associated music. (jazz, jam, post-rock, progressive metal, etc.)

Their music may include the likes of Yes, King Crimson, Geneis, Pink Floyd or more modern bands such as Porcupine Tree or Dream Theater.

The name is a portmanteau of hipster and Robert Fripp. Fripp is the leader of the first Progressive Rock band ever: King Crimson.

Being a frippster is a paradox considering the former massive popularity of progressive rock. But since it is starting to come back into the limelight with acts such as The Mars Volta and Dream Theater, these hipsters relish saying they liked it before it was cool...
again.

That kick-ass music sounds like something Robert Fripp would play.

A fake cripple. Usually seen in wheelchairs/motorized scooters. These people are seen using objects meant solely for handicapped people, and they themselves are not handicapped. The reason for them choosing to use these objects are not entirely known and may vary, but usually it just pisses off everyone who is around them.
Friend #1: "Did you see the fripple in the wheelchair?"
Friend #2: "Yeah, she kicked me!"
