fake hipster

A person who treats hipsterdom as an image instead of a mindset. Also will usually be honest enough to admit to being a hipster, which completely goes against what true hipsters stand for (which is being "non-conformist" to a social stereotype). Other than that, they are often hard to tell between real hipsters. They typically dress like hipsters will, such as skinny jeans, lots of facial hair, and fedora hats, and listen to the same kind of music as real hipsters do. However, fake hipsters often don't have the same level of pretention as a real hipster does, and are less likely to put down others that are not like them.
Scene: Arcade Fire Wins Album of the Year at the Grammys

Fake Hipster: "Yay! I'm so happy for Arcade Fire! I hope others can see how supremely talented they are. I need to tell my friends."

An Actual Hipster: "Oh wow. Arcade Fire just sold-out, haven't they? Now everybody in college is going to like their music..."

hippyville

A beautiful town located in the center of Colorado's front range often times referred to by official government approved maps and atlases as: Boulder, Colorado.
Also the official home to the state of Colorado's largest univeristy.
If you ever stop to find yourself surrounded by the smell of patchouli, and incense burning, while you gaze out upon a sea of ultra liberal free spirited dreadlock, bumper sticker loving, vegetarian, sew-your-own-clothes, kombucha drinking peace activists, all driving $200 painted volkswagens sporting $5000 mountain bikes, you can safely assume that you have found yourself in hippyville a.k.a Boulder, Colorado.

true hipster

Don't give a shit about anything and will do what they want. They are not insecure and don't care if something is childish, lame, weak, etc... they will do it. THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT! True hipsters are the trend setters of hipster culture and often followed by the wanna be hipsters(individuals who think its cool to be a hipster and cares too much if they're hipster enough)
friend: That beer is nasty, I wouldn't even bother touching it.
true hipster: Hmmmm, I like it! It taste good, give me some more PBR!
friend: Pabst Blue Ribbon taste like aluminum can man...
true hipster: it didn't get Blue Ribbon awards for no reason ;)

Hipster

Generational "misfits". In the late 2000's emos decided that that being emo wasn't cool or hardcore enough for them, so they decided to turn hipster. Hipsters claim to be environmentally friendly even though their trendy clothes are made in east asian sweatshops by children. They love metalcore, and shitty indie rock bands. Standard attire includes oxfords or converse, huge scarves, horn-rimmed glasses, dirty emo hair, gauges, skinny jeans, "granny" sweaters, and ironic t-shirts that no one fucking understands. They might seem chill, but theyre really pretentious assholes trying to seem poor and original. Never call a hipster a hipster. You'll be socially shunned. Also it is unwise to remind a hipster of their emo hayday. They will deny it. Or deem you uncool and '"totally mainstream".
The emo kids at my highschool that refused to be labeled. Especially as a hipster.

And the rest of America.

Post-hipster

What a hipsters become when they realize the negative effects of their nihilism. Sometimes comes from reading books, world travel and profound global and domestic events that demand earnestness. Sometimes comes from meeting an actual blue collar person or when they realize they're 30, broke and mom stopped sending the checks.
Hey, hipster. Your behavior just highlights your provincialism/yuppie-ness/naivete and completely contradicts the image you're trying to convey. Better work on being a post-hipster if you want to stay relevant. Here's a Filson bag, a bottle of Laphroiag, some Hemingway and a frequent flyer card.

Hipstercrite

A play on the words Hipster and Hypocrite. A hipstercrite is a hipster who often contradicts his own well thought out, yet pretentious ideals (although, they sometimes see this as 'ironic' rather than hypocritical) Examples include:
1. Jude just finished blogging about how Big-market Corporations are taking over America and weeding out smaller businesses. He then closed his Mac Book Pro and finished drinking his Starbucks coffee.
2. India claims to have loved the band Foster the People, and at one time thought she was their biggest fan. However, with their recent VMA nomination for Best New Artist, she thinks they're too mainstream and now suck.
Hipster: I'm an original thinker. I go against the mainstream.
Intelligent person: You're such a hipstercrite. Intentionally going against what's popular and current to fit in with your hipster crowd makes you a follower, not and original thinker. Why not just be yourself?
Hipster: Being myself is too mainstream.
Intelligent person: Yeah, I thought you'd say that.
