A term developed by nameless, aimless, sarcastic, fatalistic (though more disposed to CHANCE as the ultimate decider of all things, rather than FATE ((so I guess...'chance-alistic'))) self-taught philosophers and out-of-time fans of Jack Kerouac/Che Guevara/Wilhelm Reich as the ultimate expression of 'Fuck you contemporary society'-It denotes the current 'counter-culture' of what these enlightened censors refer to as 'fake hipsters'-or Hypsters. The word encompasses wealthy, materialistic, baby math geniuses who do well in school and flaunt perceived notions of a unique personal sexuality and mindset (and know all about philosophy/government) just like it does spoiled suburbanites who brag about smoking hemp and listen to alternative jam bands in addition to supposedly non-mainstream indie shit. Poetry and Manga emos aren't mutually exclusive cliques, but are still encompassed by the alpha and omega put down of said title. Heh...'Hypster' (Ferdinand made a funny).
Guy: "Fuck America and it's hypsters along with the rest. That INCLUDES Neil Gaiman books. You read Neil Gaiman books you'll never amount to anything as far as we're concerned."
Hypster who doesn't think he/she is a hypster: "What? Why Gaiman? Eh writes Sandman and doesn't afraid of anything!
Guy: "Exactly."
Hypster: "How dare you! I'm gonna go express my disgust on Facebook! Then all my friends will comment on how great I am!"

Princeton kids say, “yeah, I go to HYPSM,” or “oh, I go to the number 1 school on USNews,” but never say that “they go to Princeton” when abroad directly to college bound folks because HYPSM is more well known and not accurate.
