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.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.
Don't drive your '86 chevy over there, the hipsters will tell you how you should ride a bike or drive a hybrid instead.

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.A hipster is a person who expresses unpopular opinions, stating that the popular opinions are too mainstream. Of course, when someone is a hipster, it can be never certain how sincere they are, since, as with all groups, there are posers. In the case of hipsters, a poser is a person who does not actually hold the opinions that they express, and only claim to hold such opinions to try and get attention with the hipsters. A hipster poser will often express opinions that are much more unpopular than an average hipster would. The hipster posers may also be called special snowflakes.
Person 1: Hey dude, don't be sad, about 15% of people who care the issue hold the same opinion as you.
Person 2: What? Why should that make me happy? Do you think I'm a hipster?

Get the Hipster mug.Hey! Look at that hipster over yonder! He (She) is listening to music, therefore, he (she) must truly enjoy it, because it is also creatively expressed through his (her) fashion and sweet, sweet dance (or lack of) dance moves.

Get the Hipster mug.A pretentious person who is decadent and weak through self-indulgences and makes attempts to 'stand out' or appear different from what they perceive to be the average person by wearing ostentatious clothing, and doing pretty much anything that calls attention to themselves. They are usually progressives.
He is such a hipster.
