Mipster
Mature hipster. A hipster over the age of 40, typically someone involved in the arts (visual arts, design, music, theater, etc.).
Mipsters are bohemians whose gumption is a reflection of their tenacity and unimpressive income, rather than an ironic rejection of materialism.
For example, his/her Van Halen baseball jersey is the authentic article--purchased in the 1980s at a concert or "record store", not Urban Outfitters.
Unlike the hipster in their 20s, misters support themselves financially, and are actually cool.
