The latest trend among hipsters and indie kids in the UK. Hipster skinheads are young (usually middle class) people who take influence from '70s and '80s British skinhead fashion. They typically wear polo shirts or plaid/checked shirts buttoned up to the top, along with skinny jeans, Dr. Martens or Converse high tops and perhaps a military jacket. An important accesory is a pair of braces (known in the US as suspenders) to hold the jeans up. Hipster skinheads often have the back and sides of their head shaved, leaving the top long, although some have their head completely shaved.
Apart from dress sense, there are few other common features between hipster skinheads. Many listen to hardcore punk: both from the newer wave of bands that have recently received some popularity with the indie press (such as Gallows, Fucked Up and Rolo Tomassi); and also classic old-skool bands (such as Minor Threat, Bad Brains and Agnostic Front). Another common feature is that many hipster skinheads love the film This Is England, which is very influential upon their fashion. Like other hipsters, they tend to be fairly skinny, although unlike other hipsters some sport fairly macho tattoos.
Interestingly, there has been a revival of skinhead fashion among non-hipsters in the UK as well, particularly chavs but also some punks. The general resurgence of skinhead fashion in the UK is reflected by the appearance of the character Cook in the popular British TV series Skins. However, Cook is not really a hipster skinhead.
It is important to note that hipster skinheads are not, as a rule, racist. In fact, like other hipsters, they tend to lean politically to the left, despite the fact that skinheads tend to be associated traditionally with right-wing politics.

Other guy: "Nah, don't worry man, they're just skinny hipster skinheads."

Get the Hipster Faggotmug. Using a variety of IP scramblers, proxies, and ISP accounts, hipster troll spends a good deal of his ample free time giving 25 thumbs down ratings a day to any definition of "Hipster" that he finds critical, negative, and offensive on Urbandictionary.com.
For verification of hipster troll's activities, go to the first page for "hipster," write down the number of thumbs down given for any critical definition, and then come back the next day to see 20-30 more thumbs down. Similarly, go to the positive definition and watch it go 25 thumbs up in a day.

Hipster Troll: "Hurry up and get off the computer mom! Someone just defined a Hipster as a "posturing, posing, wannabe" and I need to give 'em the first installment of the 300 thumbs down that I will be working on as my pet project this week. But hurry, I can't be late for my job at the Olive Garden!"
Mom: "Those hipster losers still won't like you hun. You better just go to work now."

Get the Hipster Trollmug. Someone who dresses as a stereotypical hipster scarves, plaid, uptilt fedora, etc. as a personal preference as opposed to wearing it for the soul reason that it is quintessentially hipster.
"He's been wearing that fedora for weeks now! By George, he's unironically hipster!"
"When I moved to Portland, Oregon, everybody called me a hipster. Little did I know they were unironically hipsters."
"Johnny Deep is unironically hipster. Who else would wear 20 scarves at once?"
