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.

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.

A hipster is an entitled individual that gets upset when something they like becomes popular without their permission.
Ex.: The movie became so successful, its director had risen out of obscurity much to the dismay of her hipster audience.

A young adult who's major accomplishment in life is considering themselves "cooler" than their surrounding society.
Hipster: you listen to the mainstream radio? Pffft, you're one of the sheeple.
Me: Wow, you're so much cooler than me. Congratulations. What an incredibly important accomplishment!

An asian guy that wears 600 dollar Jesus sandals, claims he is a hype beast but he likes PBR, beanies, not washing his skinny jeans, Coachella, music that "is too cool for the radio, " and thinks he can beat everyone in the world at Smash Bros. He usually gets nicknamed Dirty. When you tell these people they are hipsters they try to deny it because to admit one is a hipster is anti hipster.
