hipster

A subculture of disaffected twenty-somethings that are characterized by their fickle attitudes toward basically everything. Their chronic un- or under-employment gives them plenty of time to listen to music, visit obscure art galleries, drink lots of coffee and alcohol, chain smoke, and read independently-published newspapers and magazines. By the time they figure out what they want, they've already onto something else because what they want might be what someone else wants and they don't want to identify with that person(s). You won't find them at suburban shopping malls. Try looking in the trunk of an AMC Hornet.

1. The guy who wrote the definition of hipster that starts with

"Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking. . ."

and continues in an incredibly self-important and disappointing manner to idealize this counter-AnyRemoteUsefullnessToHumanCultureAndItsDevelopment
"counter-culture".

2. A very bad omen for the future
"Do you realize that the next generation of voters will be flooded with apathetic hipsters?"

"God help us"

"i don't understand why everyone hates people that wear shoes that aren't uggs so much."

"because they are hipsters."

"but that girl is just wearing a black sweater and jeans."

"but the jeans aren't hollister."

anyone who insists they aren't a hipster
Person 1 - "Ugh, I was at this MGMT show last night and there were so many hipsters there!"

Person 2 - "You're a hipster"

Person 1 - "No, I'm definitely not!"

(Person 1 is a hipster.)

Tend to be boring, arrogant twats that like to move en-mass into rough inner-city areas such as Hackney and Brixton (in London), where the local shops start to sell gluten-free, lactose-free premium branded organic goods that the rest of the local population can't afford to buy. Once settled they will take over the local pub which will then start to sell trendy beers and eventually this too becomes out-of-bounds for the original regulars. The local 'offie' gets an upgrade and becomes a 'bottle shop, selling expensive poncy wines, and the local greasy spoon gets a makeover and calls itself the 'Well St Kitchen' Businesses fail and change hands quickly "The Art cafe" becomes "The Wash", and then "Josh and The Dane", finally "hirsinger and strauss" in the space of 12 months. Often seen out jogging or riding their bicycles with attached double buggy, complete with red pennant and 'children on board'. Although they exude a sense of superiority, you know that most of them claim benefits and have moved into the newly build housing association flats over the road.
"Thank the lord for our new neighbours! They've pulled the community together - we all have something in common now - our dislike of Hipsters!"

hipster

People of the Millenials generation who believe they are artistic in appearance, have artistic abilities, and think they are photographers because they can add a filter to a photo. They enjoy smoking cigarettes, weed, popping molli, and doing drugs that are just random combinations of letters and numbers. Really they are a culture of people stuck somewhere between gay and straight. Fuck defining this, theyre a bunch of faggots.
Frank: Yo, did you see Rando got a new guitar?
Jim: Its not new, he got it at a thrift shop and it's warped and out of tune.
Frank: Yeah It has character and an iconic sound
Jim: I literally sounds like a baby crying.
Frank: Nah man, it fits his image
Jim: Of what? Looking like a homeless person?
Frank: You just don't get it, Rando's a hipster.
Jim: No, Rando is a cheap fuck
Frank: Ur a conformist man, hand me my fedora, I'm gonna go get high and take pictures of Rando and his new guitar
Jim: Fuck man, I need new friends
