hipster

The enemy of the emo. The two groups generally hate each other. Emo people will generally try to drown hipsters in the mainstream, while hipsters will put the emos in a circle room so they have no corner to cry in.
"Ugh. It's a hipster." Says the emo girl.

"I listened to that band before I was cool." Replies the hipster girl.

Hipsters

There are no true hipsters because hipsters are mainstream and hipsters are against the mainstream.
Hipsters are to mainstream, so therefor I am not a hipster. Or maybe I am.

Hipster Local

The type of person who tries to justify their localness by saying that they have been liking something before it was popular.
Local Hipster: “OMG, I’m such an Arianna Stan. I hate locals.”

Confused Bystander: “But Arianna Grande is the most popular singer in the world. Doesn’t that make you a local?”

Hipster Local: “What... I... No. I liked her before she was famous.”

Confused Bystander: “Oh, so your a Hipster Local.”

Roots Hipster

A type of hipster that is typically interested in traditional folk and country music, with the emphasis being traditional! They tend to show a disdain for indie folk and related genres which they claim only corrupt the genre's purity. Also Roots Hipsters tend dress in clothes that were popular at the turn of the 20th century in the style of the day as opposed to the so called individualistic twists of regular hipsters. In conclusion Roots Hipsters tend to dislike regular hipsters because their belief that regular hipsters don't know what real culture is and couldn't appreciate it if they did.
Johnny " Hey did you hear, Mumford and Sons is coming to town? You should take Joe, he's a total hipster." Sam " Don't you know, Mumford and Sons is for stupid people who don't understand what real folk culture is." Sam walks away puts on his derby hat and begins listening to some Old Time Mountain Music. Sam is a Roots 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.
