Hipster

"Hipster" refers to those who are adopting an exaggerated form of 'Indie' style purely for cultural acceptance, whereas the indie style consist of those who are genuinely just 'INDIEpendently' minded and it just happens to show through their image and outlook.

There needs to be a realization that 'Hipsters' and 'Indies' are two different cultures.
'Jack' likes a band called "Maps & Atlases", so he wears their T-shirts. Jack wears straight legged jeans because he doesn't like the way baggy jeans feel on him, and wears bigger glasses because he likes being able to see more. Jack genuinely thinks, listens to music, dresses, and acts outside of what is 'popular', because that is just who he is. Jack is an independent thinker, or "Indie"

'Nick' wears a "Maps & Atlases" shirt, straight legged jeans and bigger glasses because he saw it on Jack. Nick envy's people like Jack. Nick tries to copy their style of dressing so that he can feel more like Jack. Unfortunately, Nick can't realize that there IS NO style of 'independent thinkers', and that as a result of his trying to be 'indie', he has bastardized the entire culture. Nick is a hipster.

Hipster Express

The L train in the NYC subway system, between 14th street/8th ave and Halsey street... after Halsey street, it is just the L train, as a Hipster would never (currently, as of 2010) go past the Halsey stop.
We took the L train home late friday night, and it was the Hipster Express.

hipsteridentitycrisis

The point of time when hipsters have identity issues, because they can no longer go anti-mainstream, because being a hipster is popular. So going anti-mainstream has become mainstream, therefore making hipsters confused and hopeless. They end up staying home sitting on there couch because the rest of the world are in thrift stores looking for "vintage-grandma clothing"
I used to really love old wood and rusted furniture, but now that everyone loves them too i am having a hipsteridentitycrisis.

Over-The-Counter Hipsters also Cashier Hipsters who rely on their own income. Commonly found behind or "over-the-counter" as the cashier at Beacon's Closet, Ozzies, etc. Usually wearing something they may have found while on the job at Beacon's Closet. Most often found a cranky mess because they can no longer rely on their parents for money and must do it themselves, therefore, they become an Over-The-Counter or Cashier Hipster.
Beacon's Closet customer: Excuse me, I'd like to try on this funky and unusual dress shirt. Could you hold my other items here at the counter or should I bring them into the dressing room with me?

Over-The-Counter Hipster: I don't know, i'm too tired from having to make my own income and not rely on my parents for my money to make a decision like this. *adjusts thick-framed glasses* I'm going to go on my break now and be nonchalant with my Hipster friends at Ozzie's Coffee Shop.
