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."

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."

When a hipster's clothes, hair, personality, or general appearance is so perfect it makes you want to nut...in a good way.

Classic bikes that have been modified to look like cafe racers for use by hipsters to attempt making them look cool and manly.
The practice has now given true classic cafe racers a bad name by association.
