Someone who claims to know a lot about music/art while having little to no interest and very very little understanding of it & the associated communities. Basically a fake ass fucker who acts like an elitist know-it-all but they have no really interest in it and use this fake interest to leverage their social standing (aka just to look better than everyone else).
Synonymous with poseur.

Patrick's such a hipster. He says he listens to Alcest but he doesn't even know what genre the band is.

Get the Hipstermug. The American and more widespread strain of what was once known as the 'Shoreditch/Hoxton Twat', The 'London Wanker', the Scenester, the Trendy, The Trustafarian, The Urban Hippy, The Dickhead.
Immortalised by the comedy series 'Nathan Barley' and satirical song 'Being A Dickhead's Cool'.
They suffer the Dunning-Kruger effect as they think they're enlightened because they only socialise with sycophantic idiots with exactly the same 'centre-left' opinions on everything, braying and spluttering, and who work in the same industries (if they have ever worked) but are are too stupid to realise how unenlightened and unlettered they are.

Hipster: Yah my favourite book is , like Catcher in the Rye? It really sopeaks to my soul about how everyone is such a phoney.

Get the Hipstermug. A hipster is anyone who lives in Fitzroy, Brunswick or Northcote. No one living in South Yarra, they are not hipsters.
Example A: "Wow look at that hipster, they must live in Fitzroy!"
Example B: "Wow look at them, they must live in South Yarra! They're not a hipster. That's a gucci bag."

Get the Hipstermug. People embracing the new age hippie lifestyle, while ignoring the fact that following a scene or trend, in turn makes them look like everyone else who wants to be a hipster. Ultimately surrendering their individualism and identity to whatever trends happening at the time.
Hipsters can usually be identified by their bohemian/Jamaican hair and clothing styles. Showing their desperate attempt to fit into a variety of cultures all at once. Mostly because they feel they have no real identity or style of their own.

Person #1: What do you think of my new glasses and dread locks?!
Person #2: Kind of makes you look like a 1960s style Woodstock visiting hippie.
Person #1: Really? Damn! I was going for a hipster look. That's why I also got this ugly Greek Fisherman Hat.

Get the hipster topsmug. Originally a hipster was someone who had seen through society's bullshit, or were trying to. Now it's a "lifestyle choice".
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,

Get the hipstermug. Noun: Someone who drinks shitty beer and listens to shitty music while wearing mismatched clothes. All the while trying to be different they all look exactly alike. They are the most harmful when traveling in groups, or "hoards". Hipsters can catch unsuspecting victims off guard by their sheer numbers and intense pretentious snobbery. Alone hipsters are harmless and weak but in large groups they can turn even the nicest hang outs into cesspools.
