Hipsterism 

Mass consumption in the eternal quest for what is cool, distinct, difficult to acquire, or just plain ugly. Hipsters engage in hipsterism by shopping at the most trendy places, always looking for the most unique items. Everything, from the type of clothes worn to what you eat is a status symbol to the hipsterist.
Darren's hipsterism had run rampant by the time he bought his 7th vintage BMW motorcycle.

hipsterati 

a term derrived from literati, i.e. a person that uses his acumen to investigave deep issues of human existence. In this case, the hipsterati use their acumen (and we use this term lightly) to keep up on the pressing issues of the latests microtrends. They tend to move in "too-hip-for-thou" cliques and pass judgement on what is and isn't in.
