Get the hipster mug.Not all hipsters are jerks. Not all hipsters are hypocrites or bad people.
Some generally are nice, social, and want to get to know you.
The ideal hipster is intelligent and craves knowledge.
He looks passed steotypes and conformity and styles himself in his own way of liking. The ideal hipster is equally willing or unwilling to hang out with new people. As with anyone else once you get to know a person.
They all have different points of view and are passionate to defend it and/or prevent anyone else from degrading or demoralizing it.
They all may have diverse passions and hobbies and likings.
They may be bold and determined and proud, although these adjectives may apply to anyone.
But above all, a hipster will follow is own heart and understanding.
Also: I don't know why there is a term for this type of person but all I know is that "hipsters" don't all do it to be cool or for your "approval", but to express and appreciate themselves for who they are. They should look passed your body image and do the same for you.

We like to make you turn heads. ;)
You: Dude, what a f***king hipster. Look at her. She thinks she's all that. Wait, a minute. I should check up TheMusicZealot's definition first. Maybe I can better understand her individuality and try to appreciate and be inspired by her diversity of interests.

Get the Hipster mug.n. A perpetual child/self-professed intellectual. While the word "hipster" might have been tied to social awareness in the past, a modern hipster is defined as a consumer demographic by marketers. Bad beer, Apple products, gay pants, the music of undeserving bands, and pseudophilosophy e-books are all associated with hipsters. This change was carefully planned and executed out of desperation by dying hipsters in the 2000s Great Irony Famine.
Most deluded species of slacker in the world. Living bastardization of caring humanitarian. Would bring about own death by thirst if really in a third-world nation (whining).
Does not realize that people don't necessarily take typical jobs in skilled trade, social work, or applied sciences because they are sheep, but because they realize the importance of being, at the very least, self-sufficient. Shies away from hard studies because s/he is satisfied to complain about the rest of humanity. Putting hipster through serious schooling to make said hipster apply this education to human welfare is nearly impossible.
Believe it is noble to refuse work at a boring job in favor of artistic pursuits. (Some photographers, writers, and journalists become successful, but they truly work in the more competitive field, because, after a certain point, art is useless to human advancement). Does not realize that lucrative/respected careers in the arts require talent and entail endless work and self-promotion, though s/he does the latter by nature.

1. "Look at all these conformists, buying all these pointless things that I happen to not like---HOLYFUCKISTHATANEWIPHONE!?! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDADDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
2. Trey Parasuco, the author of the notoriously self-aggrandizing top definition. Known for being so insecure about the hipster image that he, in typical hipster fashion, authored an intelligent, completely non-delusional thesis about hipsters, which was immediately rated up by thousands of esteemed members of the scientific community.

FIXED-GEAR BIKE RIDER #1: I'm working 40 hours this week at my independently-owned-and-operated fair-trade coffee shop on Valencia St this week. Not to mention the paper I have to write contrasting Sartre and Camus for my French Existentialism class. I absolutely cannot afford to contract hipster flu!
FIXED-GEAR BIKE RIDER #2: oh man, you better start listening to some Donna Summer non-ironically!
