a hipster is an existential being. in order to define hipster, one must be existential themselves. to be hipster is to be existential but to be existential is not to be hipster.
Kiley: there is neither no future nor past

Liam: therefore we cannot copy those before us and there is no one to imitate us

Franc: there to fore, we are original, we are hipster.

the definition of a "Hipster" are a knock off brand name Scene kid. They lean up against brick walls and smoke only camel Turkish royals, and have shaggy mop headed hair styles, with skinny jeans so tight you'd imagine they would have dick. They listen to gay ass crab-core bands like attack attack and other scremo filth. They are always trying to give light shows and bring their Rave Gloves with them erywhere.

Not to be confused with Scenester (largely involved with emo, hardcore, and post-hardcore) or Indie-Rocker (self-explanatory), hipsters are normally thin middle class 18-25 year olds who listen various styles of independent music, which is rarely rock oriented (though nu-grunge, nu-psych, and metal are making a comeback).

The female fashion ranges from largely thrifted vintage looking clothing to elaborately designed obscure fashion designers (Dries, Anne D, etc.); the men often use similar styles, wearing tapered jeans most of which are black (though sagged dropped crotch jeans are the new thing), oversized shirts (opposite of the misnomer that extremely tight t-shirts are hipster, as they are definitively scenester), dress shoes or high top sneakers and large rimmed glasses.

Politically hipsters are generally apathetic, but recently as the hipster bible Vice has shifted politically from the right to the left, the hipster mass has followed. The rise of 90s revival culture has also brought back the use of marijuana and X and has replaced cocaine, though the ever popular PBR and American Spirit Cigarettes remain popular.

Overall, hipsters can be characterized by their relatively carefree and iconoclastic lifestyles, their adherence to debauchery and sexual freedom, and the intake of drugs and alcohol.
I went to the juke club and to my surprise, the place was filled with hipsters.

Hipster: "Man, I just feel this crazy-strong urge to go against EVERYTHING MAINSTREAM. What is the purpose behind that? What is MY purpose in life?"

Hipster's Higher-Self: "Now we're gettin' somewhere! Keep asking these questions..."

Somebody tryin' to be me! I'm an independent thinker but I don't throw my genius around like I'm a snob. A hipster is somebody who thinks he or she is all that but he or she isn't. Someone who makes us gifted people look bad.
