Those who turn their skinny-jean-encased-knees inward in order to look awkward. Wearing large black glasses with no lenses in order to take digital photographs then manipulate the photographs using photoshop. Those who wear Toms. These are common accessories of the every day ambient hipster.
The guy next to you who wears his headphones around his neck and blasts some obscure band that he will claim you don't know about is a hipster. Notice his skin tight V neck shirt. Vintage clothing ensues. A hipster will most likely never associate him or herself with the word hipster. In fact, he or she may raise their cigarette scented voice in anger in the fact that you are calling them a hipster. This shouldn't scare you because they are, of course, all pacifists and wouldn't dare lay a finger on you. That would dirty up their brand new self designed Toms.

"I don't give two cares what you think, I'm going to be a photographer. I'm going to be a fashion model, in France. I'm going to sit in my room, sip on black tea, and listen to my favorite boy sing my favorite songs. My eyes will be large, and my hair will be long before it becomes very very short. I'm going to take a roadtrip to Elizabethtown, and take polariods at every stop on the way. These are common hipster facebook about me's.
I will be as old fashioned as I want to be, and I'm going to change your life, in ten days or less."

Liberal 20 something men and women who drink coffee in independently run cafes, drink in dive bars, listen to any awful piece of shit band that isn't popular or even good, and watch foreign "films" all the while condemning anything held popular by the average consumer or "gullible sheeple."
They believe that because they dress in thrift store rags, took a few political science classes, and enjoy modern art (aka: $1000 finger paintings) that somehow this makes them better than the rest of society. They often have an extremely lofty opinion of themselves and their opinions to the point of unbelievable arrogance.

Primary indication of membership in Fauxhemian society: placeless pretentiousness. This is followed closely by wearing clothes that don't look good on you, or anyone, because it's "cool," right alongside being critical and then hypocritical about whatever you were criticizing in someone else, often in the name of "irony."
Secondary indications of self-election to doucheoisie status include a fondness for the non-non-mainstream Pabst Blue Ribbon, more commonly referred to as PBR, and feigning delight in subpar bands just because the mainstream has never heard of said bands. (Probably with good reason.)

Hipster douchebag tweets: "Wow, I can't believe that person tweets so much! Don't they have a life?"
Hipster douchebag gets a crappy haircut for the irony of it after criticizing a coworker or social acquaintance's bad haircut the day before.

A subculture of men or women who value progressive politics, creativity, and independent thinking.
The main, most recognized, idea of the hipster is to reject the mainstream. . This means Harry Potter, Hollister, Aeropostale, or anything related in popularity is shunned.
Also, hipsters are open to anything when it comes to love. They support gay, transgender, bisexual, lesbian, etc.
Because of their value of independent thinking, hipsters do not tend to lean towards the average tanning bed, bleached blonde girl. They like different. Different is good for them.
You can find hipsters at little known coffee shops, art exhibits, or random parts of town.
Clothing:
Women tend to wear haircuts that are very edgy- such as shaggy layers or a-symmetric side swept bangs.
Some hipster "trademarks" are thick rimmed glasses, weather faux or real, oxford shoes, saddle shoes, and tight jeans.
Most modern day hipsters have also gone towards aztec prints and Forever 21.
Some stores that tend towards the hipster style are American Apparel and Urban Outfitters.

Person 1: "Hey, I saw this coffee shop downtown! It looks really nice! Let's go sometime?"
Person 2: "Okay, but that place is plagued with hipsters."

Someone who is part of a teenage subculture. For example skaters, hip-hoppers, mods, hippies, emos, jocks, ravers, metal-fans, rockers, geeks, punks, nerds, couch-potatoes, demosceners.
These scenes usually have adapted to a certain style of clothing, music, sports, behaviour which the teenagers following that scene support, as opposed to the mainstream teenagers who wear expensive clothes from brands known for child-labour, music dictated by the big music companies, thinking they are unique that way and making fun of the "hipsters" because they go their own way.

"Look at that emo guy over there with his thrift shop clothing, totally a hipster"
"So what, at least he's not walking around with $200 Evisu jeans and an iPod like you do!"

1. Person in their 20s who listens to underground music, wears thrift store fashions, and shows interest in art. As an inherently counter-culture group, many border on annoying when discussing mainstream topics.
2. Derogatory slang for "person who is not me, who bears tangential similarity to a member of a youth movement from 10 years ago", used by people whose minds are older than their bodies. Contemporary update of hippie.
3. Word favored by people who like to use big words that have no actual meaning. See: pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, overrated, elitist, &c. The one word these people clearly do not know: irony

1. I saw this hipster fellow in a coffee shop the other day.
2. That young whippersnapper over there is quite a hipster. Now where did I put my dentures? Oh wait, I'm only 35.
3. That establishment is for hipsters! Pretentious pseudo-intellectual hipsters at that!
