scenster or hipster

a person who exclusively identifies themself with a group of hip urbanites by doning the requisute dress, attitude and lifestyle. a person who attempts to rebel against society as a whole, and assert their individuality but only succeeds in becoming a unoriginal drone of the smaller sub-sulture and thus becoming regimented by the sub-culture's mores.

Kids everywhere who wear the "revitalized" and back-in-style trucker hat. Or the messing mod haircuts we all love to hate.

Loner hipster

A person who thinks they are a hipster, but in fact they do not associate with the norm of the hipster ways so they are alone.

Symptoms that you may know/be a loner hipster:Denial, shower without soap(real hipsters don't shower at all), staying in to watch an indie film for a first date, constantly overusing the phrase "I don't want to see that mainstream bullshit", overlistening to the shins, and watching 500 Days of Summer over 500 times.

That George, he wears his scarf and cardigan all the time, but he doesn't frequent enough coffee shops or watch enough indie films to be a hipster, he's a loner hipster.

Hipster expensive

That soup place downtown is so hipster expensive! It's $5.35 for a bowl of soup- how the hell did they come up with that for a price?

hipster feedback loop

A phenomenon where a lack of originality or effort is perceived as creative and insightful for absolutely no reason, via the employment of hipster logic. This is usually observed when arguing with a contemporary author, artist, "thinker" etc. about the integrity of their work or the work of another. What's interesting is that any rebuttal made to the individual who is employing hipster logic will only reinforce that individual's standpoint, working toward the inevitable realization that other people just don't get it.

Joe: This is a toilet dude.

Hipster: You don't get it man, it's more than that.

Joe: Literally all that's here is a fucking toilet on a pedestal, this is not art.

Hipster: That's just the point the artist is trying to make, your ignorant confinement of 'art' is just a conformist attitude succumbing to the conceit of traditionalists. This artist is brilliantly fighting the status quo for a freer form of expression....

Joe: It's a fuckin toilet.

Hipster: Huh, you just don't get it, if you were able to get.....

Joe: Whoa whoa whoa, I see what's going on here, I've been trapped in a hipster feedback loop, and I'm getting out of here.
