A Hispter is a grown up scene kid. Too old to be a scenester, yet too young to say no to the common trend. Trendy. Grown up sceneyboppers.
Lindsay: Look at that hipster! OMG.
Ashley: Wait. Isnt't that a scenester?
Lindsay: No. He was most likely scene at a younger age, but now he's older and on to being hip!
Ashley: Oh. Still pretty much looks the same to me.

Hipster: "Do you like my new plaid shirt. It came with these fake glasses that I got at the Salvation Army. I like to be thrifty. Save the animals!"
Random Person: "Uh. You're not blind."
Hipster: "Oh I know. These glasses make me look cool. They set me apart from the rest of society."
Random Person: *Slaps hipster in face* "Yeah...I think that will set you apart from society too. I don't see too many people running around with slap marks and skinny jeans. You're welcome"
*END OF CONVERSATION*

It's like a mix of Yuppie, emo, hippy, indie and beatnik which all share that smug liberal elitist attitude. Hipsters just tend to have a slightly better fashion sense imo. A 90's nostalgia thing of mine I guess.
The association with progressive politics can be seen in their inflated ego and low self-esteem as their suppressed social and tribal instincts are manifested in what they think is a nonchalant manner but is actually seen by outsiders for what it is.

Not all hipsters are jerks. Not all hipsters are hypocrites or bad people.
Some generally are nice, social, and want to get to know you.
The ideal hipster is intelligent and craves knowledge.
He looks passed steotypes and conformity and styles himself in his own way of liking. The ideal hipster is equally willing or unwilling to hang out with new people. As with anyone else once you get to know a person.
They all have different points of view and are passionate to defend it and/or prevent anyone else from degrading or demoralizing it.
They all may have diverse passions and hobbies and likings.
They may be bold and determined and proud, although these adjectives may apply to anyone.
But above all, a hipster will follow is own heart and understanding.
Also: I don't know why there is a term for this type of person but all I know is that "hipsters" don't all do it to be cool or for your "approval", but to express and appreciate themselves for who they are. They should look passed your body image and do the same for you.

We like to make you turn heads. ;)
You: Dude, what a f***king hipster. Look at her. She thinks she's all that. Wait, a minute. I should check up TheMusicZealot's definition first. Maybe I can better understand her individuality and try to appreciate and be inspired by her diversity of interests.

Despite the intent - a total commoner. All the attributes have previously been described. These are the "penguins" of modern youth culture. The real artists and musicians don't generally have much time to be "seen" at bars and coffeehouses.

Someone who hates anything mainstream, rejects most of society, and listens to indie music. Most hipsters feel their ideas are independent, regardless of mass amount of hipsters who share the same ideas. Their fashion generally includes cloths that do no match, and large framed glasses. They wear these glasses regardless of necessity, and mostly for looks. Some may argue that their fashion resembles that of a hobo. They mostly rant about mainstream stuff, like music and cloths.
Example 1:
Hipster: "A day to remember is too mainstream, listen to (insert band no one has heard of because it probably sucks here)"
Me: "Fuck you stupid hipster the music is still good."
Example 2:
Man: "How you fellers doing? We were about to have us a little screw party here in this red prius over here, if you wanna join us."
Man 2: "No you're not going any where near that prius, okay?
Man: "here's what we're talking about, we're talking about a bunch of (hipsters), with their finger in each others pooper, in a strangers car, with talk radio turned up really loud. it's gonna be a nice evening."
Man 2: "Well we're not participating in that. We have no interest."
Man: "Let me rephrase it. We got a jar of old mustard, and we got a poodle, and we're just gonna get in there, and put some D's in some A's."
