Reverse Hipster

The exact opposite of a hipster.

(Not to be confused with an anti-hipster)

While a hipster tries really hard to be different to create their own identity (just like every other hipster, creating a paradox of sorts) and set trends, a reverse hipster will try really hard to act like everyone else to fit in and be popular (even if they don't agree with the thing they are liking), and overcompensates by despising anybody who disagrees with the group.

Generally caused by viral videos or memes on youtube like nyan cat, vloggers (like raywilliamjohnson) and games like roblox and the more recent Call of Duty titles and musicians like Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black and any other popular topic on the internet.

A reverse hipster can either like or hate a topic, but it's always based on what a large group of people thinks, and always takes it too far.
Example 1:

Person A: Hey, did you hear Justin Bieber's new album? I liked it.

Reverse Hipster: Fuck no! Everybody hates him and you suck for liking him retard!

Example 2:

Person A: Hey, should I buy the new Call of Duty game that came out yesterday?

Reverse Hipster: How the fuck could you ask that? C.O.D. (pronounced "cod" like the fish) is the best fucking game ever! I play it every day for 12 hours! It's waaaaay better than (insert other popular first person shooter video game here) which sucks ass! Just like the people who play it!

Reverse Hipster

When some product blows up so fast hipsters can't be the first ones to like the product. So a period of waiting time consumers dont like the subject, then boom! It's cool again!

Reverse-Hipster 

Since a hipster likes everything before it becomes popular, a reverse-hipster likes things after they are already popular and run into the ground.

i.e. a hipster that is late for things.
Friend 1: You should read the Hunger Games!
Friend 2: I'll read them after everyone is done with them. I don't feel like jumping aboard this train right now- they're all finished reading already so I won't be able to catch up.
Friend 1: You're like a reverse-hipster....

Reverse Hipster Hipster 

Adjective
A reverse hipster hipster is much like a reverse hipster, if a reverse hipster was actually a hipster, if that makes sense, they simply express unpopular opinions as an attempt to look cool and different, but then suggests that people who disagree with him are in fact the hipsters, they're basically hipsters who are in denial.
"Minecraft sucks only hipsters like it" says a Reverse Hipster Hipster, this makes him a Reverse Hipster Hipster because he is expressing an unpopular opinion to look cool and different, but at the same time suggests that the ones who disagree with him are the hipsters.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
