To become a hipster you need these fancy thick rims and a skrillex haircut to underline your independence

To qualify as real hipster you need to posses Allan Ginsberg qualities. You need to be a communist, a homosexual and a user of drugs. However by 2012, this term started to be used by mass media and became a synonym for phony normie plebeians who come destroy all things good.
-I'm a hipster
-so you write experimental poetry, salute trotsky and take it up the bum?
-no, i listen to skrillix

The enemy of the emo. The two groups generally hate each other. Emo people will generally try to drown hipsters in the mainstream, while hipsters will put the emos in a circle room so they have no corner to cry in.
"Ugh. It's a hipster." Says the emo girl.
"I listened to that band before I was cool." Replies the hipster girl.

Hipsters come from affluent backgrounds, they form a part of the aristocracy: the bigotted, highbrow behavior toward others is tinged with Victorian-era, teleological world views, which is naturally a display of their position in the power relations within society. This statement is emblematic of this subculture in that in the process of attempting to distance themselves from their hereditary, privileged class group, nevertheless continue to exhibit a contemporary version of the same prejudice and exceptionalism which further buttress their position in the social power schema. This is why neighborhoods are often gentrified to accommodate to appeal for the hipster demographic.
Don't drive your '86 chevy over there, the hipsters will tell you how you should ride a bike or drive a hybrid instead.

One who carries their camera in a wooden crate, coz camera bags are way too mainstream.
Will never admit to being hipster.

Someone who thinks that they are "unique" or "special" for liking some underground bullshit that nobody else cares about...And they pointlessly look down on people who don't know anything about indie culture, because that's the only thing they know anything about. They're quick to call the rest of the world conformists when in reality, they are the ones conforming by partaking in a "too cool for mainstream so i am going to reject it by looking and acting like a grungy asshole" way of life only to seem uber-fashionable. In the end, they just end up looking like idiots.
1) Hipster: I won't drink at starbucks, it's too corporate.
2)Non-Hipster: I want a Louis Vuitton purse because they are cool.
Hipster: You're such a conformist, having a Louis Vuitton purse is so unoriginal. I like my purse I found in the gutter for $4 dollars.
Non-hipster: but it's fugly
Hipster: yah, but no one else has it. It's completely unique.
Non-hipster: that bum over there has something pretty similar though.
Hipster: You're ignorant because you can't see the real beauty in life.
I don't have time for this, I'm gonna go to my cave of an apartment and listen to some indie rock you've probably never heard of....
Non hipster: You need to see a therapist
Hipster: I am my own therapist.
