hipster

Originally a hipster was someone who had seen through society's bullshit, or were trying to. Now it's a "lifestyle choice".
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,

Hipster

Noun: Someone who drinks shitty beer and listens to shitty music while wearing mismatched clothes. All the while trying to be different they all look exactly alike. They are the most harmful when traveling in groups, or "hoards". Hipsters can catch unsuspecting victims off guard by their sheer numbers and intense pretentious snobbery. Alone hipsters are harmless and weak but in large groups they can turn even the nicest hang outs into cesspools.
That hipster can't put his iphone down long enough to enjoy his dirty jeans.

Hipster

A "hipster" is a person, mostly a Millennial, who is trying to hold on to the small-town suburban life that they experienced whilst in college, doing so while living in an urban setting. A group of individuals using trappings of suburban / rural living, from bicycles to thift shop clothing to beards and more, in an attempt to stake a claim as an "counter culture".

A group looked upon with suspicion by others due to, what is perceived, as being somewhat disingenuous as their lifestyle does not fit in with their actual choice of living environment. A hipster moved voluntarily into an urban area yet attempts to change the community into a mirror of the smaller, suburban / rural, somewhat artsy living zone that they left after college yet became accustomed to whilst attending.

An individual living in an enclave of people who fall under the classification in order to associate themselves with the lifestyle / movement / feeling.

A group seeking to maintain their earlier life of small town college experience and anti-establilshment statements in their later years. A person using facades taken from varied sources such as outdoorsman to artster to grunge, in an attempt to create a sense of original individualism around themselves.
You want to go to the hipster area and get some sliders at one of those pubs?

That hat is very hipster, you'll just need to grow out the beard.

Hipster

Hipsters come from affluent backgrounds, they form a part of the aristocracy: the bigotted, highbrow behavior toward others is tinged with Victorian-era, teleological world views, which is naturally a display of their position in the power relations within society. This statement is emblematic of this subculture in that in the process of attempting to distance themselves from their hereditary, privileged class group, nevertheless continue to exhibit a contemporary version of the same prejudice and exceptionalism which further buttress their position in the social power schema. This is why neighborhoods are often gentrified to accommodate to appeal for the hipster demographic.
Don't drive your '86 chevy over there, the hipsters will tell you how you should ride a bike or drive a hybrid instead.

Hipster

A hipster is someone that always has something negative to say about the things you like, but will never tell you what they like.

A hipster never takes any risks, so as to avoid any potentially embarrassing or awkward moments. And yet they're the first ones to critique your actions, and tell you why you're wrong, what you should have done, followed by a story about how they did it so much better blah blah..
You never have anything positive to say about the movies I watch. Quit being a fucking hipster.
