Hipster

They establish new trends, bring back old ones, make use of the bizarre, and bring back what has been abandoned. True hipsters are creative, artistic and, despite their unconformity to culture, have a great sense of what will and will not be acceptable. They can take an old pair of shoes from their father's closet and make them trendy again. They can go to a Goodwill, spend $17.50 on an entire outfit, and still be best-dressed at the party. Everyone wants to be a true hipster, but hardly anyone is. True hipsters come by one-in-a-thousand; or even fewer. The other nine-hundred and ninety-nine "hipsters" just walk on foundations already laid by the true hipster. They do irregular things just because they want to be cool, not because they are naturally innovative and creative.
True Hipster - "I don't have money for all the expensive brands. It's ok though, I found some cool stuff at Goodwill that I can afford."

Hipster Look-A-Like - "I have loads of money, but I'm going to go buy used clothes at the Goodwill, just because it's the thing to do."

Hipster (TL:DR version)

1.) A person who tries too hard to not try hard, and will willfully disdain that which is popular not because of it's inherent good or bad, but simply because a good number of people like said subject.
"Adventure Time is some adult kid shit, fuck off with it. BTW, check out my photos I took with my vintage Nikon." -Hipster (TL:DR version)

Hipster

People embracing the new age hippie lifestyle, while ignoring the fact that following a scene or trend, in turn makes them look like everyone else who wants to be a hipster. Ultimately surrendering their individualism and identity to whatever trends happening at the time.

Hipsters can usually be identified by their bohemian/Jamaican hair and clothing styles. Showing their desperate attempt to fit into a variety of cultures all at once. Mostly because they feel they have no real identity or style of their own.
Person #1: What do you think of my new glasses and dread locks?!

Person #2: Kind of makes you look like a 1960s style Woodstock visiting hippie.

Person #1: Really? Damn! I was going for a hipster look. That's why I also got this ugly Greek Fisherman Hat.
