(Noun.)-
This is a term primarily used to refer to outdated looking wannabes who still refer to themselves as "hipsters". They will usually sport striped t-shirts or flannels and skinny jeans, and generally think mustaches and PBR are still "hip". They frequently gather at pop-punk shows, where other Binghamton Hipsters continually perpetuate the myth that all of this is somehow still cool or relevant. The term originated in Binghamton, NY- a place where the internet is apparently stuck in 2008 and people still sit around discussing how "indie" Death Cab For Cutie's first album is.

Binghamton Hipster: "Well I definitely wouldn't say I'm a hipster, I'm just really into the underground music scene..."
Me: "Don't worry, I would never say you were a hipster, but you are definitely a Binghamton Hipster, speaking of, do you want any of my old Taking Back Sunday cd's from the 8th grade?"

Get the Binghamton Hipster mug.(n.) An individual/group marked mostly by their cynical, ironic and intellectually elitist ideals(or lack thereof), who claim to denounce corporate interests and the bourgeois lifestyle, yet contradict these sentiments by their own behavior.
hipster mentality vs. lifestyle
'The majority of people are mindless consumers shopping at the mall and dictated by their desire to buy the perfect house, clothing article, car... et al... '
At same time spends a majority of money earned being a dishwasher/bartender/cook at American Apparel/Urban Outfitters/Goodwill, cigarettes, beer, show tickets, and overinflated rent in the part of town that isn't exactly 'safe' but gentrified enough to not worry about being shot in the day.

Get the hipster mug.Douche who misunderstands the concept of irony. Often self-righteous, and thinks he/she are cooler than and have a special knowledge above everyone else. Drink PBR for reasons other than the taste. Don't realize that when the counter culture became the main stream culture (in the 60s), being part of the counter culture makes them part of mainstream culture.
"You wouldn't understand, it's a hipster thing."
"Oh no, I understand. You're a heterofag that thinks they're better than anyone who doesn't share your exact beliefs."

Get the Hipster mug.n. adj. from the English "hip" meaning too cool for public school. Anyone beneath the age of 40 who gives a shit about Brian Eno, David Bowie, and Jorge Luis Borges. Typically majors in English, Visual Arts, or Film Studies. Wouldn't be caught dead wearing any shoe other than Vans or Chuck Taylors.
