Hipstergasm

The pure exuberance when a hipster makes a new hipster discovery. Whether this is a new way to grow an ironic beard, a thrift store that sells corn cobb pipes or an unreleased 45 by vampire weekend.
Iver discovered a new thrift store and had a total hipstergasm when he found the motherload of v-neck shirts, skinny corduroys and polyester scarfs.

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.

historgasm 

When one is overpowered by an intense, almost sexual lust for all things historical.

This is often manifested in the form of increased heart rate, ooh-ing, aah-ing, pointing or rapid photo taking, directed towards historical persons, architecture or artifacts.

For those afflicted, historgasms can also result from any exposure, however limited, to any form of historical discussion or reference.
"I had a total historgasm last night thinking about the mighty conquests of Julius Caesar."

"Everytime I see a castle, man, my body just...historgasm man. Those turrets."

"I historgasm everytime Prof. Smith enters the lecture theatre, he's just so passionate about his work."

2) Finally, a hipster shalt never claim to be a hipster.
Ye Application of The Laws of Hipsterism:

Hipster female: No, I don't care about how I look.

(Hipster Female shalt then traverse to ye Olde Thrift store where thou shalt spend one full half day looking for garments)

#2
Normal Person: Hey! I like this artist. Their music is good!!

(Thou buys/downloads album to listen to)

Hipster Guy: *No inner monologue, for hipsters do not think consciously for themselves.

(Thou buys Vinyl to show ye others that thou purchases Vinyls.)

#3
Hipster One: I hate hipsters.

Hipster Two: Me too! God! I'm going to write an entry in Olde English and send it into Urban Dictionary that professes my hate for hipsters!!

Hipster One: Right on dude!! Hey you want to go to the thrift store afterwords to go buy records?

Hipster Two: Sorry man, but I can't I'll be pretty busy writing that entry and my fixed gear bike's in the shop right now.

Hipster One: It's cool dude...I...I love you.

Hipsterism 

Ironic Nostalgia; the creed that "everything old and belonging to an era is cool (besides anything too old, like classical music), but only when worn/eaten/done in an ironic fashion." Basically: ironic nostalgia.
Kurt practiced extreme hipsterism on Tuesday; pairing some ancient converse all-stars with an 80's watch, an obscure 60's band tee, and acid-washed jeans, he glared at all of us "preps" through tortoiseshell lenseless glasses.
