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.

Get the hipster mug.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

Get the hipster mug.So you're wanting to study the North American hipster, eh? Quite a fasinating species I'd say. Hipsters typically reside in eccentric lofts and most often have jobns involving a laptop computer. Most all hipsters wear large glassesthat some people look ridiculous wearing, tbh. The North American hipster typically starts their day with a Starbucks latte or perhaps, if their living DANGEROUSLY, a cappucino! The males typically wear beanie hats and the females can often be see with their hair in a "messy bun" (which is a Neon flashing sign of having unwashed hair) with some type of hippie flower headband... In any case the North American hipster is usually in their late teens or early 20's. The life of a hipster is one that they will regret showing their children memories of....
Young Child: Daddy, when I grow uo Im gonna be just like you!!!

Get the hipster mug.A hipster is a trendy poser person between 20-40 who wears white or pink generic Ray Bans and tight jeans with funky sneakers or leather shoes with plaid or 70's button up flannel shirts. They are forming a counter-culture and the core of their design is the emplification of heretical values, creative musical ambition and coffee and cigarettes. Hipsters have the sensibilities of both Homosexuals and Hippies rolled into one. Think Burning Man Vegetarian goes Metrosexual tightly packaged inside a Jazz bandmember wrapping. They all look like they play in a jazz band.
Think One Direction for youth girls, a Hipster is just a "phase" who'm man intelligent bohemian youth go through before they either come out of the closet, have children, or both. How long do clowns dress like clowns? A: Until the party is over. This same analogy can be addressed about Hipsters. They have adopted their fashion and aloofness from their peers. Hipster is not an individual expression from the soul. It is just a sequence of popular culture used to identify outward identity.
