The Hipster Paradox

Since all hipsters are wanna-bes by their very definition, through reviving dead fads and believing in things too obscure to be known outside of hipsterdom, they are not anything at all, and therefore, cannot exist.

I totally thought John was a real person until I found out he was hipster. Dude, he doesn't even have a reflection, I'm pretty sure. The hipster paradox rings true once more.

hipster

modern term for organized counter culture, ie. not really counter culture at all, just a manifestation of posers desperate for a purpose.

as a result of acting like a douche bag, mary adopted a hipster persona, hoping it would make her seem not like a worthless sack.

Hipster Hog Day

The first day on which you can find at least two hipsters living in "holes" in Williamsburg Brooklyn (or its equivalent), who are wearing winter appropriate: (a) knitted footwear, and (b) knitted headwear. If the Hipster Hog sees his/her shadow, it means at least seven months of whispering, "what the f*ck is that idiot wearing?"

I know we were at the beach last weekend, but it was Hipster Hog Day today, so Winter is right around the corner.

Hipster

A pretentious person who thinks s/he is cultured and often superior to others simply because s/he listens to indie music, watches art films, and drinks overly expensive coffee at coffee houses that are often crowded with other hipsters. Most often they possess an economically worthless degree in something like philosophy, liberal arts, or history that they earned at a junior college or satellite university. They waste most of their disposable income on albums, cigarettes, and/or going to crappy shows. They often follow issues surrounding liberal topics and are typically very liberal themselves, often to the point of being very narrow-minded (though they think they're the most open-minded people). They delude themselves to the point of thinking they're more refined than everyone else when they're really just pseudo-intellectuals who need to stop wearing used clothing and take showers more often.

That hipster in my creative writing class always criticizes my poems on technology. That $6 coffee he gets every morning must be rotting his brain.

hipster

the whole subculture is at best a misguided resignation to irony and at worst a conscious attempt at absurdist elitism.

That hipster over there is laughing for all the wrong reasons at Blazing Saddles.

Hippycrite

Some who is an advocate of anti climate change yet has a carbon footprint the size of Paris Hilton's.

ie

To be sat in a coffee room in a university sporting a sticker on your thermos declaring ones support for reducing climate change whilst discussing the merits of having jetted off to Portugal and the Americas for the summer.

"see that girl with the sticker on her mug?... she's such a hippycrite."
