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.

Get the Hipster mug.Think that they're different than 'most' people for stumbling upon interests, music, or having ideas that are not yet considered "popular" to a vast amount of people. Once those things have reached a high volume of others, they are no long "quirky" or "cool".
"Have you ever listened to (ironic band name here) ? Probably not “hipster” enough. They dont have any recordings and never released any albums. They played their first live show in my basement, and I was the only one there. After their set, I murdered all of them so that I could be the only one to ever know what they sounded like. Never heard anyone like them."

Get the Hipster mug.Someone who claims to know a lot about music/art while having little to no interest and very very little understanding of it & the associated communities. Basically a fake ass fucker who acts like an elitist know-it-all but they have no really interest in it and use this fake interest to leverage their social standing (aka just to look better than everyone else).
