hipster

1. An independent thinker who eschews trends and tends to know a lot of obscure bands/films/literature etc. May or may not buy clothes from thrift stores or dress in so-called "hipster fashion". The type of person that many so-called "hipsters" aspire to be like, and ignorant people hold in contempt and call "hipsters".

2. A person who tries way to hard to fit into the "hipster subculture" or "be different". The irony for these so called "non-conformists" is that they themselves are conforming to a subculture, both real and imaginary, that bases itself on individualism, yet has it's own unofficial rules of what's "cool" and what's not.

3. A person who is so concerned with being "different" that ironically they are no longer true to themselves.

4. Someone who is very pretentious with a superior attitude.

most of the time the term is meant as an insult.
Greg's not a hipster, he just likes what he likes and stands up for what he believes in.

Greg's such a tool, dressing up like a hipster, quoting Schopenhauer and pissing on all the old bands he used to like just because they're "mainstream"

Fucking Greg, it's not enough for him to just be himself he has to try harder.

Fucking Greg thinks he's better than everyone, he's such a self-aggrandizing hipster douche.

Hipster

An unoriginal, trend driven individual who 99% of the time mistakes irony for coincidence. They ride bikes, have beards, put pictures of their food on instagram, and wear and do things "ironically".
The hipster at the whiskey bar thought it was "ironic" that the cardiologist died of a heart attack. (that is a coincidence)

Austin hipster

n. A pretentious, self-ironizing, cool person found in certain areas of Austin, Texas. The Austin hipster can be seen prancing around with a morose, pensive look on his face, while he's secretly enjoying the urban experience. Aside from corrupting the music scene with his mere presence, this Central Texan herbivore also enjoys lounging around in coffee shops and writing poetry. This retro dork conceals the pride he has for whatever hipster shirt he’s sporting at the moment. While he considers himself a liberal, he’s actually supporting the system with his commercialized non-conformity.
Example:

Regular guy: Let’s go to Austin for vacation this year.

Regular guy’s friend: Naw… I don’t think I wanna be around all those Austin hipsters.

Hipsta Please

it's like the same thing as saying to the hipster "yeah, right" or "give me a break". It's an urban style way to say "Hipster, Please stop your nonsense".
Hipster: I only listen to music that nobody know. That makes me different from everyone.

Me: Hipsta Please!

hipster douche

n. A uniquely annoying breed of hipster that is particularly skilled at ruining culture. Found in cool cities like Austin, the hipster douche takes self-irony and uselessness to a whole new level. Often seen wearing a flip brim cap and plaid, the hipster douche may pass judgment on (or ignore) anything under the sun with absolutely no knowledge of it. One may not, however, criticize him.
Example:

Hipster 1: Hey, here comes Wyatt!

Hipster 2: Wait, he just walked right past us… what a hipster douche!

Youtube Hipster

Adjective: A person who finds it completely necessary to complain about how YouTube has gone corporate. YouTube Hipsters can be observed in the comment section of any Vevo video usually expressing an opinion with no backing, begging for thumbs up, as they feel the amount of thumbs up directly correlates to the size of his/her penis.
Youtube Hipster: Wow, I remember when users uploaded songs, not Vevo! Thumbs Up!!!!

Youtuber: STFU n00b

Youtube Hipster: Wow, look at all these ads, I remember when youtube was about fun, not money! Thumbs up so everyone can see!

Youtuber: download Ad Block and stop complaining. God I hate Youtube Hipsters

hipsterati

a term derrived from literati, i.e. a person that uses his acumen to investigave deep issues of human existence. In this case, the hipsterati use their acumen (and we use this term lightly) to keep up on the pressing issues of the latests microtrends. They tend to move in "too-hip-for-thou" cliques and pass judgement on what is and isn't in.
-How was the show last night?
-It was amazing, but it was so crowded because the Hipsterati were out en masse!
