Brian: Dude, I have such a hipster hangover after the Shins concert at the Doug Fir Lounge last night!

hipster

As a hipster, you are epitomizing a look/trend/"movement" of a particular area that you moved to because you heard of it's coolness, and once there, you mimic the style and attitude of what seems to be the 'hippest'. They go out of their way to be hip, and in no way does the term stand for individuals who are counter-culture or rebellious like in the 50's/60's, although they truly believe they are THE and THE only shit. They act like snobby assholes towards anything they think that they know about, especially what they've heard from CNN, but are easily stumped if you ask them any sort of details about the issue that they bark about.

These days, you can spot a typical hipster by their unnecessarily tight jeans, TOMS or VANS slip on shoes, and most wear glasses that they don't need, with fake lenses. Basically, a hipster of a particular city is one who mirrors the people around them. Hence why they all are dressed the same and are so easy to spot. Hipsters are the lame, wannabe versions of iconoclasts: James Dean, Allen Ginsberg, and the like. Trailblazers, who really were 'hip' because they weren't. People who would either be hiding from society or kicking it's ass for taking their style. Hipsters just try way to hard to be cool.
Real hipsters are usually nothing at all like what the yuppies at thrift stores try to be.

Looks can be deceiving, of course, but if someone tells you you are a hipster, believe them. If they say you are what hipsters try to be, be proud.
Hipster #1: You want to walk to that trendy coffee shop, have a shopping spree at Goodwill, and then browse around the book store like we are actually going to read the books we're looking at?

Hipster #2: Only if we can wear our matching 100% recyclable scarfs! Hey, grab my cigarettes...

Hipster Mating

Hipster mating is where a couple undress each other and reveal their genitalia and go so far as to try sex positions, however the penis does not enter the vagina. Similar principle to hipster kissing where people go to kiss each other but don't actually kiss or make any lip contact whatsoever.
"Dude don't put it in"
"Why?"
"We're hipsters, putting it in is too mainstream."
"So were doing Hipster Mating?"

"dude I just lost my hipster virginity, she even took my trousers off!"

Hipster

Someone who deviates from the mainstream and prides themself in being "hip." Hipsters enjoy anything that is independent or "indie" such as, indie music, indie films, and even indie clothing. They prefer skin tight jeans, ironic t shirts, thick framed glasses that are not necessarily necessary, scarves, wool coats, wool sweaters with patterns you are likely to find on optical illiusions, and various other items. A tell-tale sign that one is a hipster is when they are confronted of being a hipster, they deny it like Don Draper denies cheating on Betty Draper. To a Hipster, even being called a hipster is too mainstream and is as offensive to them as saying, "Mary is a whore," is to a devout Christian. You can expect to find hipsters in various places such as YouTube commenting on popular music videos, saying, "This is too mainstream, Bad Books is so much better," Victorian neighberhoods driving Fiats, and almost everywhere. The highest concentration of hipsters is thought to be in Greenwich Village in New York City, although some Hipster researchers (Hipsearchers) now believe that place is YouTube, where Hipsters are free to roam without being immediately detected and annhilated.
Hipster: The Beatles suck, they're so mainstream, you should listen to Daft Punk and wear some wool sweaters.
Me: Fucking die.

Gina: Oh, no wait, she did. What a hipstagrammer.

Hipster

"Hipsters", as they are so-called, are usually (though not exclusively), white people from middle-class backgrounds who move into urban areas, "pioneering" gentrification. (Yes, that's right. If you look up gentrification, the term can aptly be applied to the hipsters who paved the way for the yuppies; in both cases the original residents and businesses are threatened, and of course, one thing leads to the other).

Secondly, "hipsters" tend to be very insular. Generally speaking, they only wish to associate with other hipsters, which means much of their art work and ideas appear as though it all came from a single source (or a single collection of sources). And they are pack animals who tend to follow the schemas, heuristics, and trajectory of their pack. For people that espouse independent thinking, this is a fallacy.

There are a near infinite number of ideas, possibilities for cultural interchange, and perspectives that can lead to vast and innumerous creative outputs.

Generally, this diversity is not well represented by the hipster demographic. And lets be honest, it needs to be emphasized, many hipsters are white people, and white people have a long history of asserting a sense of entitlement and self-importance over others.
Intelligent thought is not dead in New York. It has simply moved to Brooklyn.”

- Oh, right, you're a hipster.
