3 branches of hipsters

Goth, indie, and scene

Goth:
Emo is a branch of goth, they wear dark colors and dye their hair black. They are not fun people to be with.

Indie:
People that wear their old 3-D glasses with the lenses punched out. To look cool. not fun to be with due to them being very annoying and pretentious.

Scene:
The girls that cut their hair in choppy layers and dye it weird colors. Nobody likes these girls due to them being awkward outcasts that try to stand out.

All groups wear excessive amounts of eyeliner and nobody enjoys their presence.

Hipster

A young self-absorbed cunt of the upper-middle class who thinks they're better than everyone else just because of how "unique" or "original" they seem to think they are. They steer away from anything that is considered 'mainstream', in an effort to make themselves and others believe that they are different from the vast majority of society. These cunts are not to be confused with Indie kids, because Hipsters actually TRY (very hard) to be like them. They detest the word Hipster and of course, that being said, hate to be labelled as one. Ironically, a typical hipster hates on other hipsters as they believe their "uniqueness" (or actually "Hipster-ness") has spread, thus fearing that they are now part of the mainstream class. They can be fun to be friends with, but a pain-in-the-neck to be enemies with. All-in-all, a Hipster is a pretentious & snobbish douche-bag.
Normal person: I love Vans, they look pretty cool.
Hipster: Um... I knew about Vans like ages ago.
Normal person: Your point?
Hipster: Vans are so mainstream now. Everyone wears them.
Normal person: Lol, pfft hipster.

Hipster

someone who is not a fipster (faux-hipster), and doesn't have to try to be who they are unlike fipsters. they tend to listen to indie music but actually know about the band, and be knowledgeable about art and/or books instead of pretending to be. they don't realize that they are hipsters at times unless it is pointed out to them.
random kid one: you are such a hipster
random kid two: i am?
random kid one: yeah you are
random kid two: oh.

hipstertarian

A young, trendy libertarian in his/her late teens, 20s, or early 30s who jumped on the bandwagon during the height of Ron Paul, Rand Paul, and Bob Barr's popularity. This person is usually of an upper-class or upper-middle class background and is more or less a conservative Republican at heart, but doesn't want to identify as such, for fear of being ostracized and kicked out of parties with free drugs and access to beautiful people of the opposite sex. While identifying as "libertarian", this person usually believes in many positions of the mainstream Republican Party and may be staunchly pro-life, staunchly anti-immigration, and a supporter of Fox News and A.M. Talk Radio. Hipstertarians may have tattoos, piercings, and a penchant for drinking and can often go unnoticed. Additionally, their horrible fashion sense, effeminate behavior, and Kings of Leon LP collections make them blend in with liberal, anarchist, and apolitical hipsters. Assuming you reign in your knee-jerk urge to beat them senseless, please remind them in a calm and eloquent fashion that Ron Paul is, in fact, a paleo-conservative and not a libertarian, and that their entire life is a bloated, phantasmagorical sham that caught AIDS and died in the back of a thrift store.
Not only does that weird indie chick have a rat tail and a Calvin & Hobbs tattoo on her thigh, she's also a Fox News-loving hipstertarian!

hipster

I define "hipsters" as poseurs who are immitating people who are actually hip, or at least who they perceive to be hip. A hip person typically has some degree of fashion sense, and a good example of the difference between this and a "hipster" is how a hip person might buy articles of clothing from the Salvation Army because they're cheap and/or unique, whereas a "hipster" would shop at some sort of boutique that sells exclusively fashionable vintage clothing and pay 10 times as much for more or less the same items.

A hip person is cognitive of what styles are fashionable, and finds a style that suits his or her self, but doesn't necessarily have to be wearing exclusively non-mainstream vintage or designer articles. A hipster either copies a hip person, the other hipsters he knows, or whatever he sees in "Vice" magazine. A few fashion items are always acceptible regardless of how much of a poseur you are or aren't: Chuck Taylors, black hoodies, tight pants, etc.

A hip person might look hung over or like they just got out of bed, but if they do, it's because they really are hung over and just got out of bed. A "hipster" might spend considerable effort faking that look by messing up their hair and intentionally wearing wrinkled clothes. A telltale sign of a hipster douchebag is that he or she is clearly "trying" to be fashionable. They often overaccessorize with some sort of scarf, hat, or outlandish shoes, and put a great deal of effort into making sure everything matches.

A hip person most likely is an avid listener of music, but doesn't particularly care how others judge his or her taste. He or she might listen to anything, sometimes including things that were once, or even are currently, mainstream. A "hipster" contrives his or her music collection to be seen by others as cool and "indie". They love vinyl records. Crappy music seems cool to them as long as they listen to it on vinyl, and especially if it's some sort of rare recording that they can be sure no one else they know owns. If you asked a hipster whether he cared if people thought his music collection was cool, he would say "no", but he would be lying. They care.

In fact, the defining trait that seperates legitimate cool people from hipster douchebags is that truly hip people genuinely don't care what other people think of them, or maybe acknowledge it a little bit but don't base their whole persona around it. Hipsters are obsessed with this fact, and build their entire personalities in an effort to make it look like they also don't care. They want, just as much as normal people, to fit in. A really hip person just naturally fits in because he or she has a likable personality and is fun to be around. All hipsters hate other hipsters and consider them to be phonies, and no hipster will ever admit to being one even if they fit all of the stereotypes.
True story: I was recently at a thanksgiving party where a lot of food was being served. The skinny, pale, threadbare sweater and tight pants-clad hipster-looking guy who had been putting on music all evening walked into the room. People weren't talking much at the time because their mouths were full, and hipster douchemaster sweater guy decided the room wasn't sociable enough for him, said "This room sucks", turned, and walked away. He could have just walked away, but he felt he had to verbally pass judgment on the room's occupants to make sure he seemed superior to them. What a dick.
