Niki's such a hipster - she pretends to be an art history buff but she can't name any painters beside Van Gogh.

Zack comes off as loving art, but in reality he doesn't care about it at all and is just pretending to pick-up chicks.

Oh look, Jamie thinks he’s hipster roadie. If only he hadn’t admitted to owning the road bike in the first place. He’s no longer a pure MTBr.

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

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.
