Person 1: "I like this one band..... but, you know, you've probably never heard of them."
Person 2: "Don't be such a hipster, man. Gimme five seconds and a phone and I'll have heard of them."

Get the Hipstermug. by philomela March 14, 2015
Get the Certified Hipstermug. Many things throughout history and in our daily lives have been at one point influenced by hipster manipulation one way or another. Be it laws that have come into effect or lies we are told by those in power so people will believe they are true.
When the media and news outlets try to sensationalise a fad, before most people have even heard of it. News outlets will sometimes use hipster manipulation to try and start a fad by falsly claiming that everyone is doing it. It's like a form of peer pressure when someone makes the broad generalisation that all of the kids are doing it.
Some news outlets have been known to create fake news stories in order to claim that they were the first to report on it.
Many times in order to get a viral trend started, a person or company will try to create the illusion that everyone who has not yet heard about it is late to the party.
Many companies and industries will lobby for changes to manipulate the publics view on things or what becomes into law. As a dishonest way of making profits.
"Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

AdamRuinsEverything: The Sinister Reason Weed is Illegal
Look up Harry J. Anslinger
"When in 2012 Tide Pods launched, these jokes about people eating them existed - but in small niches and never spoken about publicly because admittedly it is very weird."

Noone had heard of the new viral challenge until the media used hipster manipulation and then it was on everyones mind.

Get the hipster manipulationmug. Someone who is in the state of being "basic", or is classified as such, yet longs to be a "hipster." Like Pinocchio longed to be a real boy, these Pinocchio-Hipsters long to be real hipsters. Yet no matter how hard they try, how hard they grunge, or how tight their jeans are... they are doomed to be "basic," forever.
Cate longed to become hipster, but she was basic to the core. Like a giraffe in a duck costume, this Pinocchio Hipster wasn't fooling anyone.

Get the Pinocchio Hipstermug. 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.
*war begins*

Get the hipstermug. A hipster is someone that always has something negative to say about the things you like, but will never tell you what they like.
A hipster never takes any risks, so as to avoid any potentially embarrassing or awkward moments. And yet they're the first ones to critique your actions, and tell you why you're wrong, what you should have done, followed by a story about how they did it so much better blah blah..

Get the Hipstermug. Most likely named Ryan. Someone who is always chirping, drinks out of mason jars, his whole identity is based around skating or surfing because it is "So rad dude. The man can't define me."
