Get the hipster rock mug."Hipster" refers to those who are adopting an exaggerated form of 'Indie' style purely for cultural acceptance, whereas the indie style consist of those who are genuinely just 'INDIEpendently' minded and it just happens to show through their image and outlook.
There needs to be a realization that 'Hipsters' and 'Indies' are two different cultures.

'Jack' likes a band called "Maps & Atlases", so he wears their T-shirts. Jack wears straight legged jeans because he doesn't like the way baggy jeans feel on him, and wears bigger glasses because he likes being able to see more. Jack genuinely thinks, listens to music, dresses, and acts outside of what is 'popular', because that is just who he is. Jack is an independent thinker, or "Indie"
'Nick' wears a "Maps & Atlases" shirt, straight legged jeans and bigger glasses because he saw it on Jack. Nick envy's people like Jack. Nick tries to copy their style of dressing so that he can feel more like Jack. Unfortunately, Nick can't realize that there IS NO style of 'independent thinkers', and that as a result of his trying to be 'indie', he has bastardized the entire culture. Nick is a hipster.

Get the Hipster Express mug.The indentation of male hips made visible by large abdominal muscles. They are called "penis hips" in that they tend to point directly to the penis. aka "Groin Dip", "G.I. Joe Muscle", "Inguinal Crease", "Jesus Crease", "Devil's Horns", and "Thunder Road"
Quote by Lisa Frydman's "The New Hot Spot" (Chicago Sun Times January 11, 2005)
"The inverted pyramid-shaped lower muscle group, which comprises the psoas (Greek for loin), iliacus and hip abductors, can be found beneath the belly button. If you're lean and those muscles are well-developed, they're nicely showcased above the waistband of low-rise jeans.
Think Brad Pitt in the famous "Fight Club" (1999) scene, in which he appears at the door wearing nothing but yellow rubber gloves as the camera zooms in on his well-defined "love muscle, " Matthew McConaughey (in anything), singers Nelly, Usher and D'Angelo in music videos, soccer star David Beckham, Mark Wahlberg (especially during his Calvin Klein modeling days) and Velvet Revolver's frontman Scott Weiland."

Get the penis hips mug.A super hipster; one who might be mistaken for a hooker except for certain defining characteristics such as "the mohawk", loud gaudy clothing, and thick rimmed sunglasses. Their clothes and accessories are more for show and less for function. Male hipstitutes might have a moose knuckle resulting from their supper skinny jeans; female hipstitutes might wear fishnet stockings and dark makeup. This type of hipster is just trying to hard.
