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.1. An arrogant ass-sucker who could find irony in a blowjob, but could not find a way out of his or her own sphincter

Examples
1. Jason's hipster girlfriend gave him oral sex, then found it ironic that his jizz tasted like the food he had for dinner.
2. While sniffing her anus to confirm that her shit did not indeed stink, Jason's hipster girlfriend managed to stick part of her face into her butt. The paramedics had to come dislodge her head from her ass.
3. Some hipster was preaching about the differences between Plato and Aristotle on the street-corner. He had never read the works of Plato, nor of Aristotle, but he was convinced of his authority on the matter because he had good grades in classes other than philosophy and he wore hipster glasses with a hipster hairstyle.

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.
