Hipster Betrayal

When someone begins to dislike a band, movie, tv show or any other element of popular culture solely based on the fact that it has become popular.

This is something that hipsters do on a regular bases in order to remain relevant. It is the ultimate betrayal because at one point you consider this band or movie to be amazing and now that it has gain recognition instead of being happy you reject it and call it "mainstream".
Hispter: I used to like Arcade Fire but then they became so main stream. I can't even listen to their music any more.

Non-Hipster: Arcade Fire is exactly the same as they used to be, you just doing the Hipster Betrayal.

Hipster kiss

When two hipsters use telepathy to declare a romantic interest in one another. Words, a peck on the cheek, a reassuring touch, or even a simple smile would betray emotion, thereby running the risk that onlookers might suspect the two hipsters are enjoying the moment truthfully (rather than ironically).
"Lars, do you see how Marius and Clementine are staring coldly at one another from across the room, without speaking or motion of any kind? Do you see how dead her eyes look behind those turquoise spectacles?"

"Yes, Niko, I do. What's their deal?"

"It's a hipster kiss. They'll be engaged as quickly as you can Tweet 'Free art show! BYOB!!' "

closet hipster

Someone who masks their hipster attitudes by dressing normally. A closet hipster doesn't physically stand out, but deep down inside, they are glaring at you for your terrible music tastes and consumerist lifestyle.
Lawrence is a closet hipster. He stands out in all the wrong ways at indie concerts and hates Coldplay.

Hipster Welfare

Living off of monthly donations from Patreon for bad art or 'important work', usually of the social justice variety, which is often subpar or unsellable otherwise. Basically, receiving the financial equivalent of a pity fuck.
"He'd be flipping burgers instead of complaining on his blog if it wasn't for hipster welfare."
