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."

Get the Hipstermug. (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.

Get the Hipstermug. 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.

Get the hipstermug. Hipsters are kids, usually in high school, who think they're all that and a slice of cake. Usually they peak in high school and spend the rest of their lives playing the guitar they thought would make them millions one day. Hipsters like to aviod answering questions by using the phrase "just chill." like they think that solves anything. These kids also like to find the worst music in the world, post all these links on facebook of these "great" songs and tell everyone else in the world that their opinion in music sucks. Usually hipsters hate dubstep, and practically worship indi music. A hipster is supposed to stand out in a croud, be different, wear different things. But all hipsters are the same: denim on denim wearing, anti mainstream, guitar playing, indi listening idiots.
You: "Should we get chinese for lunch or mexican? i really could go for chinease but Lisa thinks more people would like mexican. What do you think?"
Hipster: "we should just chill."

Get the Hipstermug. 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.

Get the Hipstermug. White middle class from the suburbs. They are the one who was responsible for making gentrification thrive in poor neighborhoods whereby it drove out the poor, hard working class. The one that destroyed the very social and cultural fabric of New York City. For those Hipsters that don't find it to be true will immediately give a thumbs down. However, ask a Native New Yorker about how they feel about it. Better yet ask the Germans in Berlin.
