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. 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.

Friend #2: Their probably a hipster.

Get the Hipstermug. Losers who think everything "mainstream" is bad simply because it's "mainstream", it's pretty easy to spot these people out. Hipsters try incredibly hard to be DIFFERENT as if different equates to superiority.
Example of "hipster":
guy 1: look at me, I wear jackets on my fucking legs because I'm different lol im better den u fgt
guy 2: fuckin hipster
me: shoot yourself

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.

"Wow! Did you see Joseph's tribal printed shirt and boat shoes today?"
"Yeah! Homeboy looked like a total hipster!"

Get the hipstermug. Hipster is from the 1950s. He was educated, well-employed -- writer, artist, actor -- out of the mainstream. NYC hipsters lived in Greenwich Village (now the West Village). Many favored the non-gentrified Upper West Side. They wore tweed jackets with patches on the elbows, read Russians, avant-garde Brits and Americans. They flirted with left-wing politics, rejecting Communism, but liking Socialists or Trotskyists. They haunted MOMA and small film spaces like the Thalia on West 96th. Mainly white, hipsters loved classic and modern jazz by African-American artists: Lady Day, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, the Modern Jazz Quartet, even Duke Ellington. They drove European sports cars, not necessarily for speed or power, but for artful handling in city traffic. Some hipsters rode Italian motor scooters, like Vespa or Lambretta. Back then hipsterdom was a male culture. Many original hipsters were closeted gay men. A woman became a hipster only by partnering with a hipster dude.
Around the beginning of this millennium, young artists, finding southern Manhattan too costly, migrated across the Billyburg Bridge to northern Brooklyn, bringing the old, almost-extinct East Village culture with them, and, not really knowing anything about Greenwich Village or the Upper West Side a half century earlier, revived the word hipster. It has no relation to the original meaning, except to cite a group that isolates itself from, or considers itself better than, the mainstream.

The dive off West 125th Street was haunted by pimps, off-duty whores, and this hipster who kept playing Lady Day on the jukebox.
On a hot night, with all the windows open on West 4th or Bleecker, all you hear are Nina Simone and Ray Charles from apartments of insomniac hipsters listening to Symphony Sid on the radio.
The hipster in his classic Ferrari registered for the annual Auto Rallye.
How the fuck can that Billyburg dude call himself a fucking hipster and say he never heard of Bessie Smith and how she died?
