Hipster

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.

Hipster

A "hipster" is a person, mostly a Millennial, who is trying to hold on to the small-town suburban life that they experienced whilst in college, doing so while living in an urban setting. A group of individuals using trappings of suburban / rural living, from bicycles to thift shop clothing to beards and more, in an attempt to stake a claim as an "counter culture".

A group looked upon with suspicion by others due to, what is perceived, as being somewhat disingenuous as their lifestyle does not fit in with their actual choice of living environment. A hipster moved voluntarily into an urban area yet attempts to change the community into a mirror of the smaller, suburban / rural, somewhat artsy living zone that they left after college yet became accustomed to whilst attending.

An individual living in an enclave of people who fall under the classification in order to associate themselves with the lifestyle / movement / feeling.

A group seeking to maintain their earlier life of small town college experience and anti-establilshment statements in their later years. A person using facades taken from varied sources such as outdoorsman to artster to grunge, in an attempt to create a sense of original individualism around themselves.

busted hipster

A busted hipster is a hipster that can no longer function in their element as being "hip." They have either consumed so many drugs that they don't even identify as human anymore or the bright colors they stare at all day made them crazy. Busted hipsters no longer fall into the realm of tacky tattoos or super tight pants, but instead join the mass of confused "hippies" that have smoked themselves stupid.
Look at Mike, those tacky tattoos and shades for sure represent a busted hipster.

hipster manipulation

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.

"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.

Reverse Hipster Hipster

Adjective
A reverse hipster hipster is much like a reverse hipster, if a reverse hipster was actually a hipster, if that makes sense, they simply express unpopular opinions as an attempt to look cool and different, but then suggests that people who disagree with him are in fact the hipsters, they're basically hipsters who are in denial.
"Minecraft sucks only hipsters like it" says a Reverse Hipster Hipster, this makes him a Reverse Hipster Hipster because he is expressing an unpopular opinion to look cool and different, but at the same time suggests that the ones who disagree with him are the hipsters.
