The myth that all the 20 somethings living in Bushwick, Greenpoint or Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY are in fact "rich" or recipients of trust funds. As well as the conceived notion that their encroachment into said "impoverished Brooklyn community" is a bad thing. A concept often shared by people who claim to "miss the old New York" (who were in fact not from NYC or BK themselves back in the late 70's/ 80's/early nineties) and claim they would rather trade the PBR, track bikes, and tight clothing for the "good old days" of crime, urine marinated subway platforms, graffiti, poverty and general unsafe living conditions most similar to a 3rd world country.
BK resident:Look at those rich kid hipsters drinking PBR, they're destoying Brooklyn.
Person with 8th grade reading level: Actually thats a hipster myth you dumbass. They're actually reviving the neighborhood. None of them have any kids either.
BK resident: Huh what!??
8th grade reading level: Yeah people like you are dependant on the hipsters you claim to hate. How old are you now and you're still on that sh*t?
BK: You're right, I am a dumbass. I am going to move to Poughkeepsie.

Get the lumberjack hipster mug.A hipster is a group that basically poses of other groups, like emo and prep. They wear either tight girl jeans or colored skinny jeans, a tight shirt with a lame band logo (My Chemical Romance) on it, piecerings (like snakebites), a emoish hairdo, and sometimes a bandana

(a play on the word heterosexual)
A straight, usually white, male whose sexuality is a celebration of the mediocre.
A hipstersexual finds corpulence and imperfection appealing in women. Conversely, nice skin and regular facial features are thought to make a woman look "fake" or like a "robot". Thinness makes her look "like a man". Being striking makes her look either "like a robot" OR "like a man".
Hipstersexuality is in essence a gender pathology:
- because the men themselves are striking, immaculate, and usually thin, they view these things as masculine traits. and as quintessential heterosexuals, they cannot find the same traits to be appealing in women.
- thus, they consider coarse and indelicate to be both desirable and feminine, if only because it is different from themselves.
- aside from and in addition to this, being understated and unassuming are hallmarks of classical femininity.
More exaggerated and perverse expressions of hipstersexuality ("radical hipstersexuality") include being oblivious to those female attributes which are graceful and becoming, while showing a peculiar sexual admiration for the aspects of femininity which are distasteful or unappealing. People who exhibit this degree of hipstersexuality do not notice, much less appreciate, graceful or becoming. Instead they appreciate women in a way that, taken to an extremity, can be understood as a fetish for the monstrous feminine.

Used to be a pure American phenomenon but is now quickly spreading through the monster that is corporate advertising.
Hipsters are people who THINKS they are the counter culture, usually in the 20s sometimes into their late 30s. Usually have poor speech abilities and are easy to intimidate. They are not the counter culture/ revolution because they are just as consumerist as ever, the only thing that makes them unique is that they are self loathing in true nature.
Their clothing consists of bright mismatched colors and or ironic t-shirts and almost always tight jeans and fresh kicks. Sometimes they can be spotted walking around with factory made silkscreen frames around art schools. Glasses is not a requirement by if they wear a pair is always going to be a pair of dark framed plastic designer glasses. Hair is not as strict as well now that more people are negatively judging hipsters, many hide their true hipster by mixing it up. Iconic "bangs" are now disappearing as most hipsters don't want to be judged as a stupid fuck at first glance.
Hipsters always own a facebook page and have tons of pictures of themselves on their profile, shot/photoshop with artsy yet cheesy mentality in order to be ironic yet gain attention. In short, they are mostly lonely but don't have the balls to fight it.
Hipsters can be found congregating at freebie events, especially art openings and so-called indie concerts because they simply are too lazy to work/ get their hands dirty (except when they build up musk for the hipster look/scent) to get money to pay for anything.
They are required to own/ride a "fixed gear bicycle" and those who are not up-to-style or are not knowledgeable are likely to be identified quickly and disregarded by the greater hipster community. But this will only make that person even more of a hipster wannabe. High-end hipsters uses their parent's or hard earn intern dollars on Fuji bikes(~$700) or Chrome gear (~100+) while low end hipsters buy SE Drafts (~$300) and bullshit messenger bags(~$20-). They almost ride entirely with no brakes, this is not to be confused with someone trying to be a clown in the circus; they simply wanted the bike to be light and have nothing that can be stolen; which often lead to crashes and permanently damaged knees. Those who are weasels ride "freewheel" and with often front brakes, those are the most self-loathing hipsters that doesn't go all the way but still want to be a hipster. Also, most chop their handlebars so short so they can squeeze through two busses that they can barley control it anywhere even if its a wide open lane.
While they are self-described free-thinking intellectuals these hipsters are often off-the-rack as can be, some even dare to buy designer "thrift-store-look" clothing and gears with more often their parent's money than their own.
Their musical taste is only there to prove their love for a time that is not their own; 80s music for example. Hipsters are so lost they don't really believe in much of anything or know what to do with their lives so they hope to attach themselves to something that was once "great", usually something weird and alienating but easy enough so they don't have to try too hard to copy (such as Punk).
Hipsters are always an art major/drop out at some point and mostly had been an intern at a major city like NYC for some crook commercial "artist".
They hang in packs because of their low self esteem and often smoke/drink a certain brand of cigarettes and alcohol but because of recent global scrutiny some are cracking under pressure and begin doubting their own culture, their embarrassment or defiance can be felt through their speech and look; they either go all out on their look and pompous speech or they easily crack under even the slightest visual scrutiny by a passer-by.
