One can either be a hipster or exhibit hipster tendencies.
Necessary Ingredients:
Skinny jeans, if you don't have any you can substitute leggings as a replacement. Off kilter music taste i.e. yeah yeah yeahs, m.i.a., people the average person hasn't heard of, and anything indie or considered weird. Usually art enthusiasts. Often pierced or tattooed. Shopping at 2nd hand stores and going thrifting is a way of life, Urban Outfitters is also a home away from home. Most parties include PBR. It's not unusual to see one with a bike. In addition, it helps if you top all of that off with a pair of glasses, you can use a variety but one's that resemble something that Kanye West owns or worn by a librarian in the 80s/80s inspired would work. Economically, some can be secret trust fun hoarders, some can be broke city dwellers, and some can fall right in the middle, it varies. Rejection of the mainstream is highly encouraged but whether or not all hipsters do that is arguable. Some are also fond of wearing a scarf or rag in with the previously stated look and MANY exist on tumblr.

Get the Hipstermug. A modern term for a teen or young adult who goes out of their way to appear "cool" or "hip". They are usually whiny selfish self-entitled immature brats that grew up with reasonably well off parents who gave them most of the things they wanted and consider those without the latest "hip" things to not be on their level. They think they are better than people who arn't hipsters and walk like they are God's gift to the planet.
Hanging out with a hipster usually entails watching them check their Iphone or smartphone every few seconds (ususally strangely a lot more times if there happens to be a cute boy or girl nearby i guess to appear important or fly) when they do talk to you its usually about nothing but themselves or some "cool" band nobody's ever heard of or cares about. They will want to be seen in the trendiest clothing stores or cafe's and if they do purchase anything in any of these places its more than likely on mummy or daddies credit card. Their smugness and arrogance will soon make you start worrying about the risk of a possible assault charge if your blood pressure continues to soar. You find you have to remove yourself from their immediate proxomity.

Get the hipstermug. To dress in neutral colored skinny jeans, wear boat shoes and loafers, rock some fake-wooden nerd glasses, and wear only tribal and Ragland, but more commonly, tribal raglans.
Hipsters generally claim ownership to starting new trends and fads.

Get the Hipstermug. A person who has serious issues with everyone else. Typically act like they hate everything, because it is too "mainstream."
Stereotypical hipsters can be seen wearing winter-wear in hot weather, or just a ton of pointless accessories such as 3D glasses without lenses.
Normally enjoy "music" that no one likes, just for the feeling of being unique.
Also tries too hard to not try.

"I don't like that song, it's too mainstream. I prefer dubstep from artists unknown."
"First off, dubstep isn't music. Secondly, you just look like a retard, trying too hard to 'do your own thing.' You're just a hipster retard."

Get the hipstermug. The epitome of a poser. A person in the teens, or 20s that thinks not being into mainstream stuff makes them cool. Usually stuff that was popular way before their time (i.e. cassettes). This group wasn't even thought of or old enough to remember the 80s, or 90s. Yet acts as if they're the supreme authority on both decades. Not realizing the stuff they like such as the fashion they wear was worn decades before. Unlike the 30+ crowd which actually grew up with cassettes, vcrs, denim high waisted shorts. So therefore can never be hipsters. These teenyboppers, and twenty something are posers. Also might add that hipsters, and bohemians aren't the same thing. Bohemians are artistically inclined, hipsters are just about image.
Teen 1: I'm so cool, look at me! I'm listening to a portable cassette player. I'm such a hipster!
30 something: So what? Thanks to Ebay, and Etsy. Anyone can buy one, and so what? I had the real thing when they were popular
