Hipster

Originally a word for 1930's Jazz enthusiasts; the word "Hipster" has since been applied to a vaguely defined and semi-mythical counter-culture movement allegedly centered around socialising at overpriced coffee shops and listening to bands that You have never heard of.
Few of these peculiar hominids have ever been seen by man, and most footage is unverifiable.

As of the early 2010's the word also became an acceptable way of insulting anybody who's tastes differ to your own, in any way, and as a result, has completely lost all meaning.
Ex 1.

So I drove up to Portland last saturday looking for Hipsters;
I thought I saw one, but it was just some regular guy in a flannel shirt.

Ex 2.

Todd: I was listening to the new GY!BE and Rachael told me to 'turn that Hipster crap off'

Howard: Haha, what does that even mean?

Hipster

A hipster is any male/female in their 20s who lives in culturally stimulating parts of cities. They are proficient in all things deemed "indie", and are most likely all photographers and in a band at some point in their lives. They subsist on unknown bands, in the attempt to break away from mainstream media and show how non-conformist they are.

All hipsters have a love for local art, and will protest the destruction of buildings suffering from urban decay, as they are "art treasures".
Also, they know more than you in all things, including (but not limited to): Politics, music, witty banter, being ironic, fashion, and what is cool.
Usually, they can be seen wearing vintage clothing, ironic tees, tight pants, or some form of button up with suspenders and a tie, no matter what the temperature. May be sporting one of those "paperboy" hats from the 1930s, but if not, will have an odd haircut that is usually cut by a friend.

Warning: Hipsters become offended at being called a hipster, and will deny it at all times. Don't let them fool you...If they have several of the above listed facts, you've got a hipster on your hands.
Guy 1: (Swishes poorly cut hair off forehead) "I just can't figure out if I should go to these local band shows, or throw paint on a canvas and call it art."

Guy 2: "Hipster."

Hipster

(1) Hipster's are people who follow the latest trends.
They've been a contradiction all along.

(2) People who don't go by the things society and the media tells them to do.
(1) Go to Forever 21. It's where all the "hipsters" go.

(2) Who said hipsters are assholes?

Hipster

Somebody like Reine Pavlik, Jake Crump, or Steven Mayer. Pretty much the exact opposite of Will.
Reine: I love Conor Oberst!
Any intelligent person: You're a hipster!

hipster

A person who believes (1) they are too unique to exist, and (2) they are not a hipster, or (3) they are a hipster, but only because of the irony.

Detests Corporate America, except when it benefits them., eg., their Ebay vintage store, or their collection of iProducts used to update their EBay vintage store. Loves and/or hates bands you will never hear of. Lives in, or wants to move to, an urban conclave of hipsters, even though, when asked, that's NOT where they live or want to live.

Feels that the majority of everything in society sucks, except for their world view, which is actually nothing more than their self-created narcissistic oasis, and which consists primarily of their obsession with their genitals/libido, and other hipsters they let in their club.

Very similar to pre-pubescent Goths and Indies, but older, and with better self esteem and different fashion. Is basically unattractive, yet maintains the hipster mystique because it somehow gets them just enough random sex to maintain the hipster mystique. Does/doesn't click to review this definition because of the irony.
"OK fine, I AM a hipster, but only because it's mainstream to say I'm NOT and definitions are just labels that society puts on reality", grabs iPad, storms out of fair market vegan taquito joint, lights an American Spirit, and rides fake vintage cruiser home to loft above indie used bookstore in the Mission.

Hipster

A Hipster is a person who commonly rejects everything "mainstream" and pretends to be a non-conformist.

This would involve not purchasing from name brand chains and supporting "indie" chains.

This would include music by no-name bands as well.

This large group of non-conformists are in a group of conformists trying to be non-conformist?
Louis: Is that Zoe over there?
Kiko: Yeah. What a Hipster.
Louis: Why do you say that?
Kiko: Did you see her profile picture? She's eating grain. In a field. With "Indie" clothes.
