Skinny white people, with less than 1% body fat.
They are basically teenagers rebelling in everything their parents taught them (whether true or not) that go against everything mainstream.
Usually only shop at thrift stores like Salvation Army. Wear cut off skinny jeans, tight shirts of bands usually, and hemp vans.
Only listen to bands you have NEVER heard of and never will. Usually go to shows with these bands or something of that nature.
Usually vegan, as its anti mainstream, and tout how being vegan is the right thing to do because animals are 'sentient beings'.
Found in mostly bigger cities, but have blossoms in smaller cities.
Don't believe in God or anything of that nature.
Ride bikes.
They believe everyone who is mainstream (people that listen to good music, eats meat, and believes in God in some fashion) are stupid conformists who care only for themselves and nothing else.
Hate America because of its evil meat industry and culture (when in reality they hate most everything and say everything sucks, wouldn't matter if they lived in Europe)
Around the ages of 16-late 20's because by 30 they have kids and realize they are jackasses and 98% of the world find them annoying.
All in all, hipster is a new word meaning modern day hippie. And we all know hippies all faded away after a decade.
Also deny that they are hipsters.

Get the hipster mug.Noun. One who attempts to project originality, intelligence and coolness by opting for ostensibly poor quality, care and coordination of clothing and goods; exerts significant effort maintaining outdated, unattractive mode of dress and hairstyle; feigns or forces personal interest in certain types of music, art and activity with the primarily social intent of promoting the illusion of eccentricity; yet lacks true creative skill, communicative eloquence, stylistic depth, or independently cultivated thought. Common in large and mid-size American urban centers and near universities, typically near gentrification boundaries. Demographically mostly white, middle class, age 20-30, non-professional. (See Silver Lake - Los Angeles; Manhattan/Brooklyn - New York, Austin, San Francisco, Chicago)
Look kids, that hipster girl is wearing Tootsie glasses, bangs, and a mid-thigh sweater from the 1980's, and she's riding a one-speed bike with two flat tires - isn't she interesting?

Get the hipsterette mug.fist magnet . a person of low character that stands for nothing.the most unimportant counter culture cliche to exist in one hundred years. gaunt overly obsessed with creating the illusion of social awareness while in actuality concerned with nothing. usually can be seen in the parts of town where pseudo artists congregate. watch for veganism and che tshirts. also a large concentration of poorly constructed one speed bikes being ridden by people with no cadence skills. under nourished and pale hard to differentiate the difference between the females and males of this subculture.
usually one knows they are in the presence of a hipster when they are around someone using really large words but unable to say anything at all. bad odors due to the fashion statement being made by not bathing are also present. horrific music being played and the allusion to the fact you are not smart enough to get it. also watch for tshirts being worn of defunct bands like joy division. worship of ian curtis and nico also a common factor. over use of the word amazing.

Get the hipster mug.It's like a mix of Yuppie, emo, hippy, indie and beatnik which all share that smug liberal elitist attitude. Hipsters just tend to have a slightly better fashion sense imo. A 90's nostalgia thing of mine I guess.
The association with progressive politics can be seen in their inflated ego and low self-esteem as their suppressed social and tribal instincts are manifested in what they think is a nonchalant manner but is actually seen by outsiders for what it is.
