Derogatory term used by (usually) fat, ugly, chronically insecure idiots who have a preference for mor and pseudo-"alternative" musics such as Nickelback etc., reality TV, and sexual repression. Commonly describes individuals who inspire jealously in these boring middle-class twats because they creatively avoid full-time work, are not afraid to be different, and (usually) have taste. As there is no "hipster" ideology as such this term could be applied to a miriad of different groups who may offend any number of social conventions. Interestingly, the word is derived from the Wolof (Senegalese) word "hipi" meaning "to open one's eyes" or "be aware", and was introduced into English through slavery, as "hipster" slaves developed their own language in order to communicate behind the backs of their masters. Current hatred of "hipsters" is rooted in a desire for control and conformity: slavery to a boring middle-class consumerist existence.
Boring Middle Class Twat 1: "Wanna do something interesting tonight?"
Boring Middle Class Twat 2: "Let's go to the mall."
Boring Middle Class Twat 1: "Yes, that sounds interesting."

Get the hipster mug.Despite the intent - a total commoner. All the attributes have previously been described. These are the "penguins" of modern youth culture. The real artists and musicians don't generally have much time to be "seen" at bars and coffeehouses.

• hips dont lie

Most of these definitions appear to be written by people with a great dislike of so called hipters. What little group were you excluded from that made you so bitter? These are not really definitions, but diatribres. The three paragraph rants about a percieved stereotype seem a bit extreme and obsessive. Kids like to have fun with fasion. They always have. Let them have their fun. It's part of growing up. No matter what you do you are adhering to some cultural conformity. Pick your fashion, enjoy it and shut up.
I hate hipters because they think they're better than me, I know they do because it's what I think. Just look at them with their hipster haircuts and tight jeans. Why don't hipsters just dress like "normal" people, mainstream music rules, I love Clay Aikins and P. diddy.

Get the hipster mug.Someone who hates anything mainstream, rejects most of society, and listens to indie music. Most hipsters feel their ideas are independent, regardless of mass amount of hipsters who share the same ideas. Their fashion generally includes cloths that do no match, and large framed glasses. They wear these glasses regardless of necessity, and mostly for looks. Some may argue that their fashion resembles that of a hobo. They mostly rant about mainstream stuff, like music and cloths.
Example 1:
Hipster: "A day to remember is too mainstream, listen to (insert band no one has heard of because it probably sucks here)"
Me: "Fuck you stupid hipster the music is still good."
Example 2:
Man: "How you fellers doing? We were about to have us a little screw party here in this red prius over here, if you wanna join us."
Man 2: "No you're not going any where near that prius, okay?
Man: "here's what we're talking about, we're talking about a bunch of (hipsters), with their finger in each others pooper, in a strangers car, with talk radio turned up really loud. it's gonna be a nice evening."
Man 2: "Well we're not participating in that. We have no interest."
Man: "Let me rephrase it. We got a jar of old mustard, and we got a poodle, and we're just gonna get in there, and put some D's in some A's."

Get the Hipster mug.Hippies were invented in the 1960s, but nowadays they are usually just another example of a fashion victim. They go on about being different all the time, so it's surprising that they all have exactly the same tastes and ideas.
1) Hoopy socks, especially girl hippies, and brightly coloured clothes in general.
2) They believe anything that someone with dreadlocks tells them.
3) They are often vegetarian, or worse, vegan, in the misguided belief that this prevents cruelty to animals. They don't realise that vole populations are decimated when a field of corn is cut down, or that humans evolved to be omnivorous.
4) They love anything Eastern, and astrology, tarot cards, and anything else that they haven't taken the trouble to understand properly.
5) They often do martial arts, but can't fight properly. Like they kick you really slowly, so you can just grab their leg and pull them over.
6) Oh yeah and many of them love drugs and hero-worship Syd Barrett, even though he went totally mad from too much LSD.
7) They love lentils because they're so versatile.
