Hipster

A hipster is someone who conforms to non-conformity, usually without realizing they are doing so. Hipsters typically have subdued narcissistic traits and an amorphous sense of self. Hipsters usually project a passive or passive aggressive persona of superiority to those who live within societal norms or mainstream culture, and they externalize (or push internalized) self-judgement and insecurity onto others by way of harsh criticism via over-intellectualizing things to the point of creating irrational logic loops. Ultimately, hipsters are people with an identity problem. Their efforts to solve this problem usually come from attempting to individuate themselves through subcultural trends (such as off-beat fashion, music and art trends, etc.) that make them feel unique despite the irony that their efforts to do so end up being conformist to a hipster subculture that has become mainstreamed in a roundabout way.

A hipster walks into a bar and realizes they don't have a mixologist, only bartenders. He walks out.

Hipster

Someone who strives too be unique and different, and would usually avoid mainstream. Typical hipsters have a certain taste in music, food, etc. and they'd think that only smart people would appreciate it.
Opposite of normie

busted hipster

A busted hipster is a hipster that can no longer function in their element as being "hip." They have either consumed so many drugs that they don't even identify as human anymore or the bright colors they stare at all day made them crazy. Busted hipsters no longer fall into the realm of tacky tattoos or super tight pants, but instead join the mass of confused "hippies" that have smoked themselves stupid.

Look at Mike, those tacky tattoos and shades for sure represent a busted hipster.

Boardgame Hipster

The middle aged folks that just need a little break from their very important office jobs.

I joined this gaming group for D&D and Catan, but it's just a bunch of boardgame hipsters so nothing but Scattergories and Uno!

Hipster Douche

Repetitive.
Anyone claiming to be "a hipster" that thinks there is a difference between a hipster and a douche as if there's anything to love about hipsters. Or douches.

That guy is such a hipster douche. He gives hipsters a bad name.
