hipster

A subculture of men or women who value progressive politics, creativity, and independent thinking.
The main, most recognized, idea of the hipster is to reject the mainstream. . This means Harry Potter, Hollister, Aeropostale, or anything related in popularity is shunned.
Also, hipsters are open to anything when it comes to love. They support gay, transgender, bisexual, lesbian, etc.

Because of their value of independent thinking, hipsters do not tend to lean towards the average tanning bed, bleached blonde girl. They like different. Different is good for them.
You can find hipsters at little known coffee shops, art exhibits, or random parts of town.
Clothing:

Women tend to wear haircuts that are very edgy- such as shaggy layers or a-symmetric side swept bangs.
Some hipster "trademarks" are thick rimmed glasses, weather faux or real, oxford shoes, saddle shoes, and tight jeans.
Most modern day hipsters have also gone towards aztec prints and Forever 21.

Some stores that tend towards the hipster style are American Apparel and Urban Outfitters.

Hipster

One who fervently believes they are not a hipster.
EXAMPLE:

Andy: I liked their music before they got all popular and stuff.

Marge: Ha! You're such a hipster.

Andy: No! I am not! Why do people always say that?!

Marge: Dude. You've got black coffee from the grungy café downtown. You're wearing an indie band shirt. You've got glasses like department store windows! You're a hipster.

Andy: IT'S JUST BECAUSE I HAVE ACTUAL TASTE AND YOU ARE A CONFORMIST MORON.

hipster

Someone who is part of a teenage subculture. For example skaters, hip-hoppers, mods, hippies, emos, jocks, ravers, metal-fans, rockers, geeks, punks, nerds, couch-potatoes, demosceners.

These scenes usually have adapted to a certain style of clothing, music, sports, behaviour which the teenagers following that scene support, as opposed to the mainstream teenagers who wear expensive clothes from brands known for child-labour, music dictated by the big music companies, thinking they are unique that way and making fun of the "hipsters" because they go their own way.
"Look at that emo guy over there with his thrift shop clothing, totally a hipster"

"So what, at least he's not walking around with $200 Evisu jeans and an iPod like you do!"

hipster

1. Person in their 20s who listens to underground music, wears thrift store fashions, and shows interest in art. As an inherently counter-culture group, many border on annoying when discussing mainstream topics.
2. Derogatory slang for "person who is not me, who bears tangential similarity to a member of a youth movement from 10 years ago", used by people whose minds are older than their bodies. Contemporary update of hippie.
3. Word favored by people who like to use big words that have no actual meaning. See: pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, overrated, elitist, &c. The one word these people clearly do not know: irony
1. I saw this hipster fellow in a coffee shop the other day.

2. That young whippersnapper over there is quite a hipster. Now where did I put my dentures? Oh wait, I'm only 35.

3. That establishment is for hipsters! Pretentious pseudo-intellectual hipsters at that!
