Hipster

Grew up in generic suburbia, USA, and now lives in Brooklyn. Spends hours making hair and clothing look like they just rolled out of bed after an all-night bender.

Let me guess, that hipster over there is from Wisconsin and now lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Proto-Hipster

The state of being a hipster prior to being a hipster. A person who exists predating the premier of the hit film Garden State.

Proto-Hipster includes, but not limited to, male and female hipsters predating the 1980's in fashion and witty catch-phrases, ahead of their time, avant garde.

EX.

"Susan's record collection is great, even though I've never heard of these artists. They aren't even featured on Pitchfork... she's such a Proto-Hipster"

Liberal Hippy

The Liberal Hippy places morality as the highest accomplishment and goal of its agenda. The Liberal Hippy defines morality as the rights of all humans to choose equally having the same social opportunities. Therefore giving reason for socialism to be aquainted with the topic. The liberal hippy will go to any extreme to provide social equality to, in opinion, the very lowest social class. However the strategy of the Liberal hippy always results in higher taxes. Look at the history from the last 100 years in America. Higher taxes tend to create job loss from industry. As job loss and the fabric of economics begins to unweave and desperation grows within the population. Economic security detiorates and the public looses its "moral fiber". Without security there can be no moral standard and anarchy erupts. This justifies, to the liberal hippy, more government control. Therefore the greatest blunder in hypocracy occurs. Thus the word "Liberal Hippy" or "Liberal Hypocrite". A full circle occurs where by the Liberal Hippy's lust for moral equality through government intervention causes a decline in moral standard.

The Liberal Hippy retrieves its taxation principles and class definition from the early Bourgeoisie government of France. Stating that those who own land, commodities, and industry should pay the highest taxes. While those recieving tax as an income are fit to use it as way to purchase a political office through lobbyist support. This theory is evident in the French Revolution and is becoming so in Obama policy.

hipster

An insufferable, pseudo-intellectual twerp who defines his identity mainly through allusions to, and alleged knowledge of, obscure popular culture, often of the ephemeral variety. This urban poser advertises this identity via vintage clothing, thick-rimmed glasses, and ironically or iconically decalled t-shirts, oblivious to the concept that his conformity to a predefined template for appearance undermines and contradicts his attempt to be an independent thinker. He exibits a strong narcissism in the form of his constant hunt for attention and self affirmation via online social networks and communications technologies, through which he believes he is channeling relevant, interesting, and enlightening information, but which he usually employs to boost his hipster cred by making obscure references, parroting Internet memes, and generally proclaiming the superiority of his tastes. In quiet desperation, however, the hipster is racked with anxiety, as he is constantly driven by a desire to be "in on the joke" - the concept that other hipsters may be enjoying something of which he is cluelessly unaware, that he may not understand the disposable 90's movie reference which sent his peers into a titter, is anathema to this self-satisfied but inherently insecure social animal.

Mark cursed softly as the hipster in the aisle paused next to him to stow his Apple-logo messenger bag in the overhead bin. The Banana Splits t-shirt at eye-level and the thick, horn-rimmed glasses looking down at him told him that he was going to be in for a long flight filled with tedious conversations about the power of social media to help the unemployed take the country back from evil corporations.

Hipstellectual

Not hip enough to be a hipster, not smart enough to be an intellectual, a true hipstellectual fancies himself both. Typical traits include an obsession with the Colbert Report, writing terrible symbolist poetry while laughing at the slightly-more-bearable goth/emo writing scene at DeviantArt, starting a favorite list of books on a social networking site with Al Franken, describing one's religious views on aforementioned social networking site as two obscure quatro-syllabic words pulled straight off of Wikipedia, refusing to shop at any other store than Hot Topic and lambasting those who criticize him/her for it, wearing last year's fashions, quoting in-jokes from last year, writing biased reviews of media the writer has no authority in, and a skin-and-bones physique caused by veganism, running from riot cops, or both.

A hipstellectual is the worst of both worlds, bringing both pseudo-intellectualism and hilariously-mismatching outfits to any clique he attempts to join. Any attempt at conversation with these individuals quickly results in an argument about their favorite topics: politics, fashion, and veganism, in that order. People wishing to talk about something other than Obama's foreign policy and "war for oil" should probably venture elsewhere. Despite claiming to be social butterflies of the highest caliber, hipstellectuals are often closet gamers who are too scared to be alone to play anything other than terrible, terrible MMORPGs.

Hipstellectual: Today I had to play single-player games because my PC was being fixed from all the malware I got from broken Korean grindfests. It was horrible! I actually had things to think about like "plot", "strategy", and "characterization"!
---
Hipstellectual: THE CAKE IS A LIE! Haha, get it guys? Wasn't that game good? Also, I'M ON A BOAT!!!
---
Hipstellectual: Yeah, actually my religious beliefs are Antitheistic Humanism. You probably don't know what that means. It's cool, it just means I'm smarter than you, no big deal.
---
Hipstellectual: Ron Paul was totally supposed to win the 2008 election. I read it on the Internet, so the election must have been fixed or something.

Hipstellectual: Paying more for a pair of banged-up jeans than for a full three-piece suit is just a matter of taste. If you don't, you have bad taste.
