hipster

In the 1940s and 1950s it meant beatniks, bohemians, people into jazz and poetry, pushing the extremes when it came to sex and substance abuse, etc. etc.

Today it means what poseur meant in the 70s/80s - an insult for pseudo intellectual young people who claim to be into obscure pop culture of the past and are into co-opting cool stuff, and adopt white trash chic like trucker hats or Pabst Blue Ribbon, While being a 21st century hipster is preferable to being a gangsta, wigger, or yuppie, it's still nothing to be proud of today.
There is a book called "The Hipster Handbook" that made up fake "hipster" slang thinking that someone would fall for it

The only thing in common between the hipsters of the mid 20th century and those of today is that both are associated with New York City

Jack Kerouac was an example of a 1950s hipster.

Julian Casablancas is an example of a 21st century hipster

hipster

a rare breed of animal usually spotted at the blackcat in DC (not on nights of popular shows, but rather on nights with a no name band that most likely sucks). current hipster trends include (but are not limited to) trucker caps, dyed black hair, zelda haircuts for girls, vintage clothing, black frame glasses, a "hipster" jacket, pair of black chuck taylors, etc.

dude 1: yo, let's go down to the blackcat to see deathcab.
dude 2: no way, i hate them.
dude 1: you liked them last week!! you're getting too hipster. i hate you.
dude 2: don't hate.

HIPSTER

someone, usually a teenager or 20something, who adheres to a counterculture ranging from indy-rockers to neo-hippies to skaters. they tend to define themselves by the music they listen to, and the outlandish clothes they wear. hipsters are opposed to other countercultures like goths, metal-heads, and gangstas, and they also avoid preps, eurotrash, white trash, and jocks

question: why does he only listen to bands that are never played on the radio?

HIPSTER MYTH

The myth that all the 20 somethings living in Bushwick, Greenpoint or Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY are in fact "rich" or recipients of trust funds. As well as the conceived notion that their encroachment into said "impoverished Brooklyn community" is a bad thing. A concept often shared by people who claim to "miss the old New York" (who were in fact not from NYC or BK themselves back in the late 70's/ 80's/early nineties) and claim they would rather trade the PBR, track bikes, and tight clothing for the "good old days" of crime, urine marinated subway platforms, graffiti, poverty and general unsafe living conditions most similar to a 3rd world country.

BK resident:Look at those rich kid hipsters drinking PBR, they're destoying Brooklyn.

Person with 8th grade reading level: Actually thats a hipster myth you dumbass. They're actually reviving the neighborhood. None of them have any kids either.

BK resident: Huh what!??

8th grade reading level: Yeah people like you are dependant on the hipsters you claim to hate. How old are you now and you're still on that sh*t?

BK: You're right, I am a dumbass. I am going to move to Poughkeepsie.

Hipsterectomy

The act of killing or causing serious harm to a hipster by drowning them in the main stream.

I think he needs a Hipsterectomy! He's wearing dress shoes with his chino's roled! He's listening to indie pop and his moustache is curled at the end! We need to preform the Hipsterectomy stat!

she-hips

A male whose body shape resembles more of an hour glass look than a more traditional straight male body . Their butts tend to sway like a female and it is hard to hide such a figure .

When Joel walks his she-hips move like a woman's .
