Half of the students at NYU.
Hipsters are mostly seen hanging around Gallatin, but can be found in Tisch or CAS occassionally as well. Think coffee and Monk's seem to be some of their hangouts, and after midnight on weekends, they swarm St.Mark's.

That guy with the checkered scarf, white v-neck tee shirt he wears every day, black skinny jeans and converses, and his girlfriend with the short hair, side-swept bangs, white and black striped glasses and a bag with a pop art design of Nietsche that you see coming off the L train from Williamsburg with their ipods and their small deli coffee, smoking a fancy cigarette. Those are hipsters.

One who makes his own trends and rarely follow anyone else's ideas for clothing. Mostly black men in their early 20s. They ussually wear cheetah print shirts and cheetah print hats that of a diffrent size cheetah print. They ussually will deny the idea of beibg a hipster and blame those who wear Ralph Lauren as being hipsters.
I wear cheetah shirts in yellow print with a DMND cheetah hat in neon cheetah but I'm not a hipster. Those who wear polo are hipsters :)

A childless adult in his or her 20s (and early 30s) who is counter cultural, and will engage in fashion, ideas and philosophies that are against the mainstream. Contrary to popular belief, the hipster doesn't define a monolithic cultural group, but unapologetic individuals who are confident and comfortable going against widespread currents and beliefs. Since hipsters don't self-identify, a simple procedure has been developed to identify the hipster: 1) in a room of 20-somethings, exclude the foreigners, awkward introverts and those with children; 2) identify those who, while seeming confident, natural and self-assured, look like fish out of water on closer inspection - these individuals are your hipsters. They'll wear tuxedos to restaurants in San Fransisco, jeans and t-shirts before the Queen of England, and a cowboy hat to a night club. They'll listen to 1920's music when in L. A., indie rock when in Texas, and blue grass when in Boston. A true hipster will find himself constantly at odds with local politics no matter where he moves.

see non hipster. today's 2008 hipster definition has flipped around. the hipster these days is the normal average everyday walmart/starbucks shopper. walmart is bigger than jesus. he drives a normal car, listens to normal mainstream rock and pop, hangs out at the mall and starbucks, eats mcdonalds and applebees.he lives a predictable and forgettable life. because punk and emo have become so prominant in the last few years. the normal guy is now considered the hipster because there are only a few of them left. the hipster insults punk kids, art kids, indie kids, coffeeshop kids, pretentious psuedo intellectuals because the preppy 2008 hipster kid thinks he is normal, average everyday, and cool. today's hipster is a college kid getting drunk from using his rich parent's money and whining about liberals. he is too passive aggressive to do it in person so he goes online to insult art kids, liberals, anything anti mainstream, booksmart people. he is showy with his parent's money because his parent's are rich yuppie hipsters by this definition.
Today's definition of hipster has really turned around. i'm part new definition hipster and part old. i admit, i like some indie stuff everyone considers pretentious and some mainstream stuff people think is too poppy. i shop walmart, starbucks and drive an suv and i eat at some underground mom and pop shop and hang out with artists and punks and conservative people. my favorite food is mcdonalds. i wear thick framed glasses but alot of brand names from Express and Addidas and the buckle. asics are my favorite shoe. i like underground experimental art and some mainstream summer blockbuster movies. i listen to heavy metal, gangsta rap, indie, pop top 40, punk, death metal, country noir, britney spears, broken social scene, classical music, film score, trip hop and neo soul, and rock. i graduated college and have money from a career in graphic design making mainstream commercial ads and logos.

A diminutive word insecure people use to refer to others they think are cooler than themselves.
Alternatively, to refer to a person who is part of a countercultural scene.

That hipster didn't invite me personally to the Collective's block party last week, I wish his pants weren't so tight.
