Someone who deviates from the mainstream and prides themself in being "hip." Hipsters enjoy anything that is independent or "indie" such as, indie music, indie films, and even indie clothing. They prefer skin tight jeans, ironic t shirts, thick framed glasses that are not necessarily necessary, scarves, wool coats, wool sweaters with patterns you are likely to find on optical illiusions, and various other items. A tell-tale sign that one is a hipster is when they are confronted of being a hipster, they deny it like Don Draper denies cheating on Betty Draper. To a Hipster, even being called a hipster is too mainstream and is as offensive to them as saying, "Mary is a whore," is to a devout Christian. You can expect to find hipsters in various places such as YouTube commenting on popular music videos, saying, "This is too mainstream, Bad Books is so much better," Victorian neighberhoods driving Fiats, and almost everywhere. The highest concentration of hipsters is thought to be in Greenwich Village in New York City, although some Hipster researchers (Hipsearchers) now believe that place is YouTube, where Hipsters are free to roam without being immediately detected and annhilated.
Hipster: The Beatles suck, they're so mainstream, you should listen to Daft Punk and wear some wool sweaters.
Me: Fucking die.
Me: Fucking die.

One of those peeps who looks down upon your engagement, because marriage is too "bougez" for their liking. They will tell you this while simultaneously holding "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel on vinyl in one hand and "On The Road" by Jack Kerouack in the other. Ask them about either and they wont know what the hell they are talking about because instead of actually reading or listening to music they take pictures of the covers and put them on social media sites. They are also identified by a patch or button advertising over generalized leftist values attached to a sweater from Goodwill. Hipsters generally tuck them into thrifted high waisted shorts with a belt from American Apparel that also looks thrifted but was actually $50.00. If you still can not tell if they are a Hipster, chat them up, more likely than not they will be sure to tell you that whatever your saying is offensive to them, especially the real discreet things you say that are actually not offensive at all.
Kristi: Yo Tabatha! This Green Tea is Dope, all my Niggies drink this $hit, you got to try it.
Tabatha: Kristi, saying "Green Tea" is offensive and appropriated. I understand that you didn't know any better, but i'd feel much more comfortable if you called it "Green Water From The Asian Lands" next time.
Kristi: Dayumnn Tabatha, that was a test and you failed. Now go get yourself a PBR, you overpriced PBR drinking, Hipster.

A urban dining establishment where drinks are overpriced, the food organic, and the waiters wear tight pants and have beards. People sporting Adidas polyester gym clothes (matching tops and bottoms) are only allowed in the restaurant if they are working as dishwashers.
Life expectancy of a typical hipsterant varies between three months and a year depending on location.

Such people are the true "cool cats" of the world. They're those "in the know", ahead of the norm. They're not of the mainstream. They be eternal beatniks! (And certainly not hippies). Yes, they're people who are-- or at least consider themselves to be-- "hip", as in "hip to the jive". Older hip hipsters will of course always look down on latter-day versions, those (younger) folks who think themselves to be hipsters simply because, for instance, they're able to exhibit a little facial peach-fuzz and have a taste for some generic pop music that they've deemed to be, umm, "non-corporate". Hah!
Hipsters, flipsters,
and finger-poppin' daddies:
Knock me your lobes.
This bit of hipsterism was written by "Lord Buckley" (Richard 'Lord' Buckley'), who was a singular, amazingly influencial (Caucasian!) comic genius that looked a little like Salvador Dali, affected a British accent, dressed in a tux and was best known as one who performed hipster interpretations/translations of well-known dramatic scenes and notable speeches.
The above quote comes from Lord Buckley's version of the very beginning of Mark Anthony's funeral oration in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones...

The new thing you DO NOT want to be. Hipsters tend to purposefully look for the things that no one else likes just to say that they like it. To them, if the music, art etc. are in style or cool to others, it is uncool. Hipsters usually are the people who think they are original when there parents probably did the same thing when they were kids. Indies and hipsters are VERY different.
First person: Look at elaine and her new "geek style" glasses.
Second Person: Hey! I saw a picture of my mom with those same glasses on from the 80's!
First Person: wow. what a hipster.

Its a pretty obscure subculture *looks down nose* you've probably not heard of them *smug look*
a group of arrogant poseurs who believe themselves to be better than you or me, because the are non-conformist. defined in this case by conforming slavishly to a different group.
they aggresively dislike the term 'Hipster' as they know that it marks them as stupid and moronic, so they call everyone else hipster, kind of like how the most aggresive homophobes call everyone else gay
