The term pseudo-hipster should be less aligned with widespread use of the term "hipster" and more closely identified as a trendster who channels the fashion and culture of hipsters. The term originated in Chicago once the hipsterism culture that still dominates the Ukranian Village, Wicker Park, and Logan Square areas began to implode (circa 2005) on itself and become a thing of mockery to social critics, intellectuals, and those who had been living a bohemian lifestyle in the pre-1995 era. The term pseudo-hipster is now used more liberally to describe individuals desparately clinging onto an ill-conceived attempt at attaining hipster identity.
Pseudo-hipsters can be frequently seen to prevail in suburban areas or parent's basements when not shopping in corporate stores heavily disguised as neo-vintage or vintage stores (a.k.a. Urban Outfitters) or in other sub-metro areas where a true bohemian or "hipster" lifestle is unattainable.
The Psuedo-hipster is markedly less elitist, if at all, than an hipster proper, and is also likely to be seen with his or her non-bohemian friends. The psuedo-hipster at his or her intellectual core does not truly or permantently identify him- or herself with nerdology, hipsterism, or the bohemian lifestyle; and, as mentioned before, can be loosely classed as a trendster who superficially identifies with the FASHION of the hipster "clique." Psuedo-hipsters who work, however, are usually more financially successful than their hipster muses and will usually hold jobs outside of the service industry or artist communities that are hipster mecca's. Due to the increase in cash flow by either living in a suburban basement or getting a finaciallly secure job, the pseudo-hipster will NOT have a true beer preference for Pabst Blue Ribbon.

"I can't go anywhere anymore without seeing someone trying to be a hipster!"
"You can't really call him a hipster.
This is Kansas City...He's a pseudo-hipster at best.
And besides...isn't he getting into that Explorer with a ______ University School of Law sticker on the back?"
"Oh...good eye sniper. He'll be throwing away his skinny tie collection by next year!"

Get the pseudo-hipstermug. George: Man, this blister has been around ever since Bon Iver!!
Paul: What you've got there is a hipster-blister. Rub some dirt on it and stop wearing those Toms shoes, it'll go away.

Get the Hipster-blistermug. A Hipster (or group of hipsters) who claim to be original and have invented their own style, yet steal off of other subcultures' styles and/or invading those other subcultures' venues. A Hipster won't actually go into a club to dance or enjoy the music, but to stand around and critique the venue and the patrons with their friends.
Goth Hipster, Punk Hipster, Metalhead Hipster, Mod Hipster, New Wave Hipster, Death Metal Hipster, Country Hipster, and many more.
"Why are those Hipster Douches here at a Goth club!? They're not even doing anything! They're just standing on the dance floor with their drinks, blocking much of the dance space, but not doing anything except talking to each other! Annoying hipsters!"

Get the Hipster Douchemug. Weather that is viewed or received by the hipster sub-culture as very appealing because it allows the full usage of knit caps, scarves, pea coats, and rolled pants.
Hipster weather is weather that is usually rainy, dark, overcast, somewhat chilly, and occasionally windy.

I am a Portland Hipster because I told my parents that I had a job interview today, but instead all I really did was lay on a hill overlooking some train tracks and a depot drinking PBR's and smoking cigarettes. It was a cloudy day, so i wore my little-boy jeans and a pair of Ray Bans.

Get the Portland Hipstermug. Meat hipsters used to be vegetarians (when it was trendy), then vegans (when it was trendy). Now they are meat hipsters or "sustainable" & "conscious eaters".
Meat hipsters ritualize charcuterie, butchery, back-to-the-land farming and the myth of the pastoral agrarian paradise. They take classes in how to cut up whole hogs, composting and permaculture.
A school of thought brought to the masses by Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "In Defense of Food".

Wow! Check out Anne stripping the meat off those BBQ ribs!
To think that she was a preachy vegan like two months ago and now she's an unabashed meat hipster... What will it be next? Eating kosher?
