Get the hipster mug.
Hipster
Hipsters, they suck the life out of a neighborhood and move once there too many of them there. Because they hate each other just like everyone else hates them.
In some ways, it's low self esteem personalized into a culture. They think they belong in another culture because they hate the culture that's around them, including themselves.
So they feel the need to move constantly. Because insecure people are never happy so they keep moving because they blame everyone else around them for the way their life has turned out. And in the process other people pay for their insecurities.

Hipster 1: I really hate this neighborhood, it's full of hipsters. Everywhere I go, I spot people wearing band shirts like mine, they're such wannabes. I'm sure none of them heard of the Snot Rocketeers.
Hipster 2: (bong rip) I heard of this place in Pennsylvania named Brooklyn. Since we live in Brooklyn now, wouldn't it be ironic if we move out of Brooklyn to live in Brooklyn?

Hipster
A person, usually in their 20s, who likes indie music, alternative lifestyles, indie films, riding fixed gear bikes, and hanging out in bars and other places you probably never heard of.
An actual hipster doesn't go around saying things like "I'm so hipster" or "I'm such a hipster" because hipster isn't a thing to be or a subculture, a hipster just is, despite people who say hipsters spend their time trying composing their whole persona. Most don't.
Hipsters are not scene kids, as the generally don't listen to overly emotional music by scremo bands, they usually tend to listen to music by boring bands, mature bands, and experimental stuff. Even though the music can suck, it tops scene kid music any day.
Hipster style is usually outlandish, but ranges to plain an no flashy. Thick rim glasses, usually darker(not goth or emo dark) or earth tone clothes. Normalized colors, but outlandish way of dressing.
A hipster do not have wild hair, people get them confused with scene kids, hipsters usually wear hair that's less outlandish that scene kids, and they usually sport one solid color, unlike scene kids. And while they do, their hair still seems dirty, and less composed.
They also like vintage things, music, clothing items, video games, photographing, books, and even homes, vintage is a plus for hipsters.

Hipster
One can either be a hipster or exhibit hipster tendencies.
Necessary Ingredients:
Skinny jeans, if you don't have any you can substitute leggings as a replacement. Off kilter music taste i.e. yeah yeah yeahs, m.i.a., people the average person hasn't heard of, and anything indie or considered weird. Usually art enthusiasts. Often pierced or tattooed. Shopping at 2nd hand stores and going thrifting is a way of life, Urban Outfitters is also a home away from home. Most parties include PBR. It's not unusual to see one with a bike. In addition, it helps if you top all of that off with a pair of glasses, you can use a variety but one's that resemble something that Kanye West owns or worn by a librarian in the 80s/80s inspired would work. Economically, some can be secret trust fun hoarders, some can be broke city dwellers, and some can fall right in the middle, it varies. Rejection of the mainstream is highly encouraged but whether or not all hipsters do that is arguable. Some are also fond of wearing a scarf or rag in with the previously stated look and MANY exist on tumblr.

Friend #2: Their probably a hipster.

hipster
A person who has serious issues with everyone else. Typically act like they hate everything, because it is too "mainstream."
Stereotypical hipsters can be seen wearing winter-wear in hot weather, or just a ton of pointless accessories such as 3D glasses without lenses.
Normally enjoy "music" that no one likes, just for the feeling of being unique.
Also tries too hard to not try.

"I don't like that song, it's too mainstream. I prefer dubstep from artists unknown."
"First off, dubstep isn't music. Secondly, you just look like a retard, trying too hard to 'do your own thing.' You're just a hipster retard."

Hipsters are basically tree-huggers with i-phones. Full of idiosyncracies, they dont even understand the numerous internal contradictions of their own (political) philosophy. For example, they think they are environmentally friendly, socially responsible and sustainable (whatever the fuck that means) and yet all of them have i-phones (as previsously stated). They dislike so called mainstream culture, capitalism and traditional (family) values. A lot of them went to college for a liberal arts degree, which explains all the bullshit they are saying all the time. Physically, they tend to be small. In short: They are the most fucked up cultural sub-group in the world.

Hipster is from the 1950s. He was educated, well-employed -- writer, artist, actor -- out of the mainstream. NYC hipsters lived in Greenwich Village (now the West Village). Many favored the non-gentrified Upper West Side. They wore tweed jackets with patches on the elbows, read Russians, avant-garde Brits and Americans. They flirted with left-wing politics, rejecting Communism, but liking Socialists or Trotskyists. They haunted MOMA and small film spaces like the Thalia on West 96th. Mainly white, hipsters loved classic and modern jazz by African-American artists: Lady Day, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, the Modern Jazz Quartet, even Duke Ellington. They drove European sports cars, not necessarily for speed or power, but for artful handling in city traffic. Some hipsters rode Italian motor scooters, like Vespa or Lambretta. Back then hipsterdom was a male culture. Many original hipsters were closeted gay men. A woman became a hipster only by partnering with a hipster dude.
Around the beginning of this millennium, young artists, finding southern Manhattan too costly, migrated across the Billyburg Bridge to northern Brooklyn, bringing the old, almost-extinct East Village culture with them, and, not really knowing anything about Greenwich Village or the Upper West Side a half century earlier, revived the word hipster. It has no relation to the original meaning, except to cite a group that isolates itself from, or considers itself better than, the mainstream.

The dive off West 125th Street was haunted by pimps, off-duty whores, and this hipster who kept playing Lady Day on the jukebox.
On a hot night, with all the windows open on West 4th or Bleecker, all you hear are Nina Simone and Ray Charles from apartments of insomniac hipsters listening to Symphony Sid on the radio.
The hipster in his classic Ferrari registered for the annual Auto Rallye.
How the fuck can that Billyburg dude call himself a fucking hipster and say he never heard of Bessie Smith and how she died?
