the hipster mecca is in williamsburg brooklyn. it's a subculture of kids born in the 80's. it started with mutton chops & buddy holly glasses, but has now progressed progressed into trucker caps, pointy shoes, and the god awful rehash of the mullet.
typically, hipsters are "slumming it" on mommy & daddy's dime. a full blown hipster reduces himself by never wearing anti-perspirant & appearing to be poor. drink of choice is rheingold, or pabst blue ribbon beer.

Get the hipster mug.Those who reject the "clean cut" nature of the hipster movement. They enjoy heavy rock music with a relevant message. They keep their hair long, and buy baggy jeans. They can enjoy life, and other people, without the elitist trappings of thier forefathers. They do what they feel is right for them
Hipster: Why are you eating that? It's full of fat, and preservatives?

Get the Post Hipster mug.Related Words
A real hipster doesn't have to necessarily take up the conventions mentioned in many of these definitions. A hipster doesn't give a damn and may have perfectly normal hair. The hallmark of a hipster is high cultural tolerance and a slight tendency towards intellectual arrogance. There's no such thing as a "cliquish" hipster: People who are like that are just as brain-dead as any other close-minded person. Usually well-informed and interesting people who have more to discuss than gossip, TV shows (many hipsters have a disdain for television), and housing prices (unless they're about to re-up their lease).
That guy thinks for himself and questions authority. Definitely appreciates the arts, literary as well as visual and musical. He's a hipster for sure.

I totally thought John was a real person until I found out he was hipster. Dude, he doesn't even have a reflection, I'm pretty sure. The hipster paradox rings true once more.

Get the hipster mug.The first day on which you can find at least two hipsters living in "holes" in Williamsburg Brooklyn (or its equivalent), who are wearing winter appropriate: (a) knitted footwear, and (b) knitted headwear. If the Hipster Hog sees his/her shadow, it means at least seven months of whispering, "what the f*ck is that idiot wearing?"
I know we were at the beach last weekend, but it was Hipster Hog Day today, so Winter is right around the corner.

Get the Hipster Hog Day mug.A pretentious person who thinks s/he is cultured and often superior to others simply because s/he listens to indie music, watches art films, and drinks overly expensive coffee at coffee houses that are often crowded with other hipsters. Most often they possess an economically worthless degree in something like philosophy, liberal arts, or history that they earned at a junior college or satellite university. They waste most of their disposable income on albums, cigarettes, and/or going to crappy shows. They often follow issues surrounding liberal topics and are typically very liberal themselves, often to the point of being very narrow-minded (though they think they're the most open-minded people). They delude themselves to the point of thinking they're more refined than everyone else when they're really just pseudo-intellectuals who need to stop wearing used clothing and take showers more often.
That hipster in my creative writing class always criticizes my poems on technology. That $6 coffee he gets every morning must be rotting his brain.
