They establish new trends, bring back old ones, make use of the bizarre, and bring back what has been abandoned. True hipsters are creative, artistic and, despite their unconformity to culture, have a great sense of what will and will not be acceptable. They can take an old pair of shoes from their father's closet and make them trendy again. They can go to a Goodwill, spend $17.50 on an entire outfit, and still be best-dressed at the party. Everyone wants to be a true hipster, but hardly anyone is. True hipsters come by one-in-a-thousand; or even fewer. The other nine-hundred and ninety-nine "hipsters" just walk on foundations already laid by the true hipster. They do irregular things just because they want to be cool, not because they are naturally innovative and creative.
True Hipster - "I don't have money for all the expensive brands. It's ok though, I found some cool stuff at Goodwill that I can afford."
Hipster Look-A-Like - "I have loads of money, but I'm going to go buy used clothes at the Goodwill, just because it's the thing to do."

To make a product "hipster" is to remove a it from its origin, make up a story that you want people to believe about it (in regards to its source, the inspiration for the company), package it nicely and put it in a minimalist shop, and then charge people a lot of money for it so they think its special/new/different

Someone who acts different (or at least outside the hipster subgroup, because they obviously all act the same), but only for the purpose of being different.
"I don't have a beard, only hipsters have beards. I have a type of mustache that was only popular in the 1963 gay scene of a small mountain village near Buenos Aires. You probably never heard of it." (A Hipster, probably)

Originally intended to be a word to describe individuals with "alternative" (as opposed to "mainstream") tastes in art and culture (and they explicitly suggest it by the way they dress etc) . However the modern adaptation of it is used very liberally. Two individuals can be each other's "hipster" if they have opposite tastes in art and culture. It is also used as a retaliation against less known art which have fan following from art critics by some people who can't relate to it.
I read a review of an album on some well known website or magazine. It has great reception. I listen to that album for myself but I don't really enjoy it. But I feel paranoid that so many other love it. Thus I declare these people as "hipsters" so I can feel that I have superior taste in music.
