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!!' "

Hipstake

An expression of condemnation or exasperation uttered by someone (typically a non-hipster) after a hipster has done or said something ill-advised.
"Did you hear that Humphrey got Tulip preggers after he accidentally put on one of the rubber balloons left over from his balloon portrait of Bjork embracing Madonna, instead of a condom?"

"Hipstake!"

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."

hipster ketchup

Sriracha, that's it. Because hipsters put that shit on everything like my two year old does with actual ketchup.
I ordered fries but the chic millennial threw hipster ketchup all over them thinking it was cool and now my IBS is gonna flair up tonight. Damn hipsters.

hipster woe

What hipsters feel when something semi-obscure they like (or pretend to like) becomes popular, which they then have to pretend they never liked.
HIPSTER: I liked that song BEFORE it was in that commercial!

DOCTOR: Sounds like a case of hipster woe. Listen to this Os Mutantes album and see me next week.

hipsterlicious

Something or someone that is extremely hipster.
