Hipsters are a sub-culture of self-conscious image-obsessed middle-class white people who have abandoned independent thinking and place a high value on conformity. If people around them are growing beards, hipsters will do the same. If tattoos and piercings become a trend, hipsters will be the first people to flock to tattoo parlours. Hipsters never have sincere thoughts or action. It may be that hipsters were bullied at school and were not very good at sports, explaining why they rarely smile. They console themselves by examining their bank balance, which is usually very healthy thanks to daddy's trust fund.

Get the hipster mug.A false embracing of Nerd Culture portrayed by an uninteresting person brought on by a mock humility, though deep down embracing a sense of artistry and self importance. Aka, a douchebag.

Get the Hipster mug.Hipsters come from affluent backgrounds, they form a part of the aristocracy: the bigotted, highbrow behavior toward others is tinged with Victorian-era, teleological world views, which is naturally a display of their position in the power relations within society. This statement is emblematic of this subculture in that in the process of attempting to distance themselves from their hereditary, privileged class group, nevertheless continue to exhibit a contemporary version of the same prejudice and exceptionalism which further buttress their position in the social power schema. This is why neighborhoods are often gentrified to accommodate to appeal for the hipster demographic.

Get the Hipster mug.A variation of the Wallflower that is known for their ironic and apathetic attitude and style. Most hipsters are actually unaware of their hipsterism and are often confused with hipster posers, whom openly announce that they are hipsters. Hipsters are trend setters whilst these posers are actually following the trend of hipsterism. The typical hipster is known for shopping at thrift stores, hanging around a cafe, or browsing a record store for indie inspiration in both music and fashion.

Get the Hipster mug.A person whose style is influenced by many different genres (of dressing). They usually wear lots of flannels and ironic graphic tee shirts, but not always. Sometimes, preppy styles are mixed with casual clothes. When being called a hipster, they always deny it. They either listen to indie rock, alternative rock, hardcore rap, or a really diverse taste of almost anything.
