A hipster, a complete douchebag who thinks he's fighting society with his progressive and "rebellious" ideals. The average hipster believes that they are fighting against the odds against society. They somehow manage to be "up to date" on events or actions before they have occurred. Attributes of hipsters tend to lean towards a more collegiate look, meaning that they happen to wear outrageous clothing that happens to be "hip" in mixture with a set of trendy "Sperry's".

In short, a hipster is a socially evolved version of a nerd. Hipsters claim to be unique and not follow any mainstream trends and activities. Yet they all look and act the same. They drink the same beer, listen to the same music, and wear the same clothes.

Usually at a point in their life, a nerd may begin a transformation into a hipster. They will go through a social evolution where they become more social and can converse with people. Soon after they begin to grow facial hair which will eventually turn into a large long beard or mustache. Next on the list is to get the "hipster cut" which means cutting the side of their hair very short while leaving the top very long. Hair products are then used to comb the top hair back or to the sides. Some may not use any hair product at all. New clothes usually include shirts with something ironic or sarcastic. A hipster's second language is sarcasm. As the evolution continues, they will refuse to take public transpiration or even drive cars. Bikes will replace every form of transpiration year-round.

Hipsters spend a good part of their lives drunk and high. Many of them attempt homebrewing to support their love for craft cheap beer. Much of what they talk about will involve different types of craft beer.

At the end of the day, a hipster may never know or admit to being a hipster. But if they look like a hipster, act like a hipster, and talk like a hipster, they're simply... a hipster.
Bus driver: It's cold out, just take the bus, you'll freeze to death!

Hipster: No sir, my beard and hipster cut will protect me. I'm riding my bike till the day I die. Buses and trains are for mainstream folk.

a male or female that feels all attention should be directed at him/her. He wears ridiculous clothing that screams "Look at me!" The males often hit on girls that have boyfriends relentlessly until they get their way. In other words, hipsters are girlfriend stealers. They also listen to alternative music. Only. They are perhaps the most closed-minded beings on the face of the earth. When standing in a group they are usually the most obnoxious and loud ones there. Often, a hipster plays a musical instrument. But they only play the songs that are alternative (naturally). If a song is released by their favorite band and becomes popular, they refuse to listen to it because everyone else is. The common word for a song like this is mainstream. An antonym for mainstream is underground.
That guy is such a hipster, he gelled his hair to look like a member of his favorite alternative band.
