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

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.

Hipster Swaglord

A person who dresses in a street-wise manner as a means of hiding their inner desire to be a hippie.

See that Hipster Swaglord over there with the Dr Dre Beats, Nike Dunks and Beanie, I bet they're listening to Neutral Milk Hotel.

hipster

A word that can be used to describe almost anyone. People are hipsters for liking obscure things, but they are also hipsters for liking mainstream things because that's "ironic". People are hipsters for latching onto a new trend, but they are also hipsters if they liked a thing "before it was cool." The word is mostly used by hipsters, because hipsters hate hipsters and are not aware that they are hipsters.

Make up your mind, am I a hipster if I drink microbrewery beer or if I drink PBR?
