Hipster

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..
You never have anything positive to say about the movies I watch. Quit being a fucking hipster.

Hipster

They establish new trends, bring back old ones, make use of the bizarre, and bring back what has been abandoned. True hipsters are creative, artistic and, despite their unconformity to culture, have a great sense of what will and will not be acceptable. They can take an old pair of shoes from their father's closet and make them trendy again. They can go to a Goodwill, spend $17.50 on an entire outfit, and still be best-dressed at the party. Everyone wants to be a true hipster, but hardly anyone is. True hipsters come by one-in-a-thousand; or even fewer. The other nine-hundred and ninety-nine "hipsters" just walk on foundations already laid by the true hipster. They do irregular things just because they want to be cool, not because they are naturally innovative and creative.
True Hipster - "I don't have money for all the expensive brands. It's ok though, I found some cool stuff at Goodwill that I can afford."

Hipster Look-A-Like - "I have loads of money, but I'm going to go buy used clothes at the Goodwill, just because it's the thing to do."

Boardgame Hipster

The middle aged folks that just need a little break from their very important office jobs.
I joined this gaming group for D&D and Catan, but it's just a bunch of boardgame hipsters so nothing but Scattergories and Uno!

hipster

A person who trolls niche branding, fashion, culture, or philosophy solely to be "hip;" usually of affluent background. A distinctively pompous nonconformist.
That tiny bar down the street used to be a cool hangout until tourists and hipsters heard about it.

hipster pilgrimage

At some point in their youth, or not so youth, childless hipsters will pack up their belongings, tea and unisex footwear such as blundstones and embark on a right of passage which involves journeying around estranged and dangerous regions of the world in attempt to gain culture, enlightenment and non curable diseases. Targetting areas where, they along with their human size backpacks, can be easily identified as tourists, they sleep in rooms with other pilgrims squeezing their belongings between their legs as to not get violated or have their blundstones stolen. It is imperative that the pilgrim travel with a high end smartphone to ensure their acquaintances are reminded that they are superior because they eat cross legged and get hena paint. The hipster must attempt to represent themselves as someone who does not hail from a 3 story house in an affluent neighborhood.

In order to be considered successful, the hipster must attain a certain number of likes on social media lest they keep travelling and searching for likes.

Barbecue hipster

Bearded and/or flanelwearing wanna be trailblazers. They want to be different from the general population so they set themselves apart by cooking over open fire and using special woodtype chips to get that "smokey flavour." They might be really good at it or tremendously bad.

They feel that by doing this, they are showing that they are more in tune with their inner hunter gatherer. It is their only interesting personality trait.

Appearance: flannels with rolled up sleeves, in their 20s-40s, beards, tree or mountain tattoos, can't cook anything other than proteins, might wear a beanie.
"I just saw Eric the other day, he dresses like such a barbecue hipster."

"Hahaha yeah, doubt that guy has ever touched a grill in his life though."

hipster nut

When a hipster's clothes, hair, personality, or general appearance is so perfect it makes you want to nut...in a good way.
"Did you see that girl that just walked by? Her glasses just made me hipster nut!"
