Typically with the signature air of self-congratulation, Hipster Logic is the seemingly logical but contextually naïve viewpoint often used by young hipsters.
- "Buy now and save money!"
- "Giving is saving."
- "Free phone with 2 year contract."
- "1,000 bonus points!"
Unto themselves, hipsters might use hipster logic is justify an action that seems en vogue, popular, or feel-good.
Onto them, hipster logic is used in marketing to manipulate naïve consumers to feel an artificial sense of accomplishment or urgency.
I first coined this word in November 2013.

Hipster Logic often leads to ironic, if not amusing, situations.
- Occupy Wall Street movement participants using iPhones and Android phones to coordinate efforts via the networks provided by AT&T and Verizon. None of which would be possible without the large-scale investments that would only be possible through massive capital markets and financial trades.
- Driving Toyota Prius cars (where all profits go overseas) to an anti-Wal-Mart rally against low wages and lack of higher paying jobs.
- Enjoying window plants in their urban renovation condo with new hardwood floors and cabinets to reduce their carbon footprint.
- While bicycling, ignoring street lights and stop signs with the belief bicycles don't constitute traffic or cause accidents.

A phrase, or verbal tactical argument that is so utterly flawless in it's logic that it obliterates any previously made statements by other people present in the conversation.
Diana:"Why is Sam crying in the corner?"
Nicole: "Because I just logic bombed his belief that he will one day get into medical school and become a doctor, based upon the fact that he has already failed the MCAT three times."

A program that performs a certain action when certain conditions are met, such as deleting all files on Christmas eve, although it is not necessarily malevolent. Though it is not technically a virus, it is often grouped that way.
There was some speculation that the turn of the millenium will set off tons of logic bombs that lie dormant in computers.

A very ambiguous yet genius train of thought, usually involves a lot of nostalgic references. Can be confused for mindless ramble, until you get till the end and realize that it was nothing but sheer brilliance.

Statement: "The country will never need more than a ten digit phone number."
Response: "That is totally 640k logic."
Response: "That is totally 640k logic."
