It's a fashion movement, and it's the most imperialistic one you could ever imagine. Poor areas with rich culture are steamrolled over, as a homogenous wave of liberal arts students try on, commodify, and sell its remnants. Everything is a fashion than can be taken on or thrown out, and every part of culture is there to be declawed then commodified for this very same group.

Get the Salty Hipstermug. A hipster is anyone who lives in Fitzroy, Brunswick or Northcote. No one living in South Yarra, they are not hipsters.
Example A: "Wow look at that hipster, they must live in Fitzroy!"
Example B: "Wow look at them, they must live in South Yarra! They're not a hipster. That's a gucci bag."
Example B: "Wow look at them, they must live in South Yarra! They're not a hipster. That's a gucci bag."

Get the Hipstermug. When you discover something new, usually a song or band, then all of a sudden the whole world knows about it and you get upset because it was your original find.
You find a song on YouTube, for example "I Love It" by Icona Pop, then you tell your friend to look it up because it's fucking awesome. A week later this song that you're proud of finding and you think no one else knows about is one the radio and everyone is singing it. You are now hipster pissed!

Get the Hipster Pissedmug. The American and more widespread strain of what was once known as the 'Shoreditch/Hoxton Twat', The 'London Wanker', the Scenester, the Trendy, The Trustafarian, The Urban Hippy, The Dickhead.
Immortalised by the comedy series 'Nathan Barley' and satirical song 'Being A Dickhead's Cool'.
They suffer the Dunning-Kruger effect as they think they're enlightened because they only socialise with sycophantic idiots with exactly the same 'centre-left' opinions on everything, braying and spluttering, and who work in the same industries (if they have ever worked) but are are too stupid to realise how unenlightened and unlettered they are.
