A sub-group that attempts to show intellectual strength and independent thinking by expressing leftist or "counter-caplist" ideas which often conflicts their practices. Hipsters claim to want a world where people should be more independent and free thinking yet they create trends and social rules that they expect others in their subculture to follow. They criticize main stream society for not indulging in such fads.
Hipsters are known for their patronizing attitudes and their tendency to intrude or snub on other peoples life choices.

Sussy Soap: I love your jacket where did you get it?
Me: My mom got them for me as a gift while traveling
Sussy Soap: Oh it looks quite expensive how much was it?
Me: I don't know but they were made in Italy, and made from a really good kind of leather, my mother said it was half price
Aaliyah de Hipster: I PERSONALLY don't understand why people buy overpriced designer items and leather too, don't you know what that animal went though?
Me: Actually it was €200 own from €400 and she got it in Germany from a store that stocks leather goods made by local company. That company won awards and all so I know it will last for years.
Aaliyah de Hipster: Yaw, I got this jacket in a trift store it made in Italy for €30

A Hipster football is a frisbee or "flying disk". Just as the hipsters try and stay relevant by ironically liking things, people play frisbee as an alternative to mainstream football.

Get the Hipster Football mug....Sociologically speaking it would make sense. The more the artist gains clout the more people he/she/they would have to appeal to, leaving them with the inevitable ultimatum of conforming to their massive appeal and compromising artistic integrity or maintaining their initial incentives of creating music. More often than not they conform to their collective fan base's tastes and become popular music with a twist, AKA POP/Mainstream, leaving the fan base anxious to retreat to a more obscure and eccentric way of life and eventually the abandoning the band's that helped them construct this temporary identity they were so thrilled about in the first place. At their best, Hipsters can catalyze a new fashion sense countering the mentality of inclining towards high end fashion labels and undermining these stereotypical brand names while also helping drive unrecognized well-deserved musicians to their respectable recognizable positions within the music industry and lifting a genre into greater credibility. At their worst, they can taint an artist and perhaps even a genre itself with a never-ending obsessive quest to construct an identity of non-conformity as Corporations catch on and exploit this insecure tendency and kill off the passion found within the genre along with their questionably sincere principles that drove such hype to begin with.
Hip Hop Purist: ...I don't know, I think Talib Kweli *can* integrate both suburban white kids and oppressed black males with genuine empathy and sincere consideration. But who knows, maybe it is just trendy to be a conscious emcee.
Hip Hop Hipster: ... Whatever. Wolf Gang is the shit. Wolf Gang all day every day ...
Indie Listener: ...I don't think, personally, that Arcade Fire sounds like some 80's pop synthesizer ish. I mean, they do use that synthesizer thing and it's blowing up within the whole Indie movement, if you wanna call it a movement, but they're not hiding behind the synthesizer. They're keeping it real. In my opinion. Plus they are going about disillusioning, if you will, religion and what not. You don't see that too often with Indie. Usually they're just too caught up with sounding different that they'll lose their message and forget why they started singing to begin with. You know?
Indie Hipster: Yeah. I don't know... I mean, Yeah, I know what you're talking about BUT I'd just rather listen to Wolf Parade.... did you hear the new Radiohead?

Not to be confused with "dickheads," the empty-headed, ovine army of imitators who inevitably throng in their wake, ruining everything.
Dad was a Marxian intellectual, mum a sculptress or feminist journalist or some such: Whereas we grew up on Nickolodean, he was weaned on radical politics, Andy Warhol and banter about cult literature.
Moderately attractive, probably mixed race, careful not to be *too* beautiful. Has a timeless, sexless aura hanging about him. Seems narcissistic and aloof, yet kind at heart. Survives exclusively on coffee and cigarettes.
Insinuates a complete understanding of wittgenstein and foucault, but prefers to talk about aleister crowley and B-movies. Bored by most things.
Changes conception of self like we change our socks. A scathing, arrogant music fascist yet possessed of no musical talent. Is fine with that apparent contradiction.
Nothing frustrates them more than the idiot masses aping their every move. To sully their aesthetic divinity with non-ironic imitation is the worst thing you could do to him.
And now that half the world is wearing a battered 80s jumper and a headband and is reading heidegger in a café, the true hipsters have long split, and are doing something else. Something mind-blowingly original, utterly profound and eminently ironic, of course.

Hipster 1: What's cool? Um, it's a bit like Zen, or like, maybe defines the peripheries of any given phenomenology. So it's basically better not to think or talk about it at all.
Hipster 2: What's cool? Well what's not cool? It's just a word isn't it? You know, like "sparrow" or "fuckfist" or "hello".
