Another clumsy and childish portmanteau word invented by feminists who are too lazy to actually change society for the better in any meaningful way.
Feminist: Excuse me, but I don't like people manterrupting me.
Human: I 'm sorry, but I thought you were just doing an impression of an electrocuted cat.

Get the manterruptingmug. One subjected to the corporate, postmodern reheating of the beat culture, following in the footsteps of subcultures such as punk in the reappropriation of earlier cultural artifacts to create a sense of identity and meaning in the neoliberal post-cold war era. It is embraced by a relatively small cross-section of broadly liberal, bourgeois and metropolitain young people, because this group is the advertising industry's target demographic for items of conspicuous consumption. The hipster labours under the illusion of vitality, agency and difference, when all the subculture can aspire to is another iteration of post-industrial, postmodern consumer culture, and one exceedingly more open to co-option, repackaging and branding than punk or hip hop because of a political passivity, and the disposable income of its largely middle-class advocates.
What defines the hipster seems to be merely material, but also pathological introspection and self-consciousness, perhaps amplified by the fragmentation of society in a free market, and the rise of the self-centred 'apsiration' culture of the noughties; one that hipsters often think themselves very much apart from, but very much engage in.
Overall, it is a youth culture borne lifestyle choice rather than any meaningful social struggle and is, with every lenseless spec frame, every thread of distressed denim and bottlecap of Pabst, irrevocably part of what it so petulantly but naively dismisses as mainstream culture.

Anton; Hey, why do hipsters think they're independently-minded and breaking new artistic ground when they look the same and like the same stuff, usually indie music?
Chekov: Yes, their much vaunted cultural awareness creates such a sweet sense of schadenfreude in educated people. The hipster is blissfully unaware that his subculture is very much part of the wider cultural spasm of consumer capitalism expressing itself, and borrows heavily from previous subcultures. His jejune posturing is almost as endearing as that of schoolyard Marxists.

Get the Hipstermug. 'Geoffrey, I hear the Royal Society held a capital soiree, with the most exquisite selection of cunt. Not too pungent, or sloppy.'
'Indeed, Cavendish. The blonde niece of Barnabus was a particularly delectable morsel; tidy, clipped and with a dash of salty haddock. Father Roland almost wept.'

Dave: How about hipstemo?
Dr Parenthesis: No, too close to epistemology.

Get the hipster emomug. a small child dressed like an emo because their property-obsessed, zinfandel-drinking, Espace-driving, D+G hunting parents think it's cute, and besides, Bethany and Aloysius have brought their child the same miniature reproductions of the designer tat most depressing..ive teens buy, but at forty times the price.
'oh do tell me where little Ozymandis got the Gerard Way 'do'

Get the emo babymug. An adult with a job, family, friends and who indulges hobbies in a healthy manner.
May even live in their own house or apartment and drive a car, rather than living with their parents into their 30s and 40s and relying on public transport to get around, usually to a Yu-G-Oh touurnament or Doctor Who/Harry Potter/Weeb convention.
Usually reads books without drawings and speech bubbles, often about the real world.
Takes moderate exercise outdoors and has natural hair colour if under 40. Wears clothes without edgy slogans because they don't really want to get unwanted attention.
Knows how to prepare a meal because they've lived alone and realises it's part of being self sufficient. Can perform simple car maintenance and DIY rather than phoning up relatives or more useful friends in tears. Knows people who work across different trades and professions and whose social circle isn't limited to one group of socially inept, penniless dorks.
If male, then he can lift heavy things and runs. If female, she bathes. Doesn't worry about putting pronouns in their bio.
Doesn't really use social media.

'He is such a normie!'
'You mean he has a job, a house, a family reads books about science and history can lift heavy things fix up the house, and doesn't live on junk-food?'
