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 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.

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.
He's such a hipster; I saw him wearing colored skinny jeans at the Vampire Weekend concert in Portland.

Get the Hipster mug.n. a disease where you stand away from every trend or person. Symptoms are calling everything mainstream, shopping at places people have never heard of, listening to bands people have never heard of, or getting things from Urban Outfitters(this rarely happens if you suffer from Hipsteritis)
You don't wanna go to Forever 21? How about Urban Outfitters? No? Well. It seems to me that you suffer from Hipsteritis
