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.

Man, I heard he got hepatitis on his hipster pilgrimage

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

Someone who thinks that they are "unique" or "special" for liking some underground bullshit that nobody else cares about...And they pointlessly look down on people who don't know anything about indie culture, because that's the only thing they know anything about. They're quick to call the rest of the world conformists when in reality, they are the ones conforming by partaking in a "too cool for mainstream so i am going to reject it by looking and acting like a grungy asshole" way of life only to seem uber-fashionable. In the end, they just end up looking like idiots.

1) Hipster: I won't drink at starbucks, it's too corporate.

2)Non-Hipster: I want a Louis Vuitton purse because they are cool.

Hipster: You're such a conformist, having a Louis Vuitton purse is so unoriginal. I like my purse I found in the gutter for $4 dollars.

Non-hipster: but it's fugly

Hipster: yah, but no one else has it. It's completely unique.

Non-hipster: that bum over there has something pretty similar though.

Hipster: You're ignorant because you can't see the real beauty in life.
I don't have time for this, I'm gonna go to my cave of an apartment and listen to some indie rock you've probably never heard of....

Non hipster: You need to see a therapist

Hipster: I am my own therapist.
