based on observation it is a person, generally white, anywhere from their early 20s to 40s that has come "slumming" back into the inner city because its now cool to come back into the "neighborhood" (another way of saying its safe for androgynous white people), most likely via a bicycle, to show everyone how cool they are by practically all wearing the same square rim glasses and pants so tight their testicles (or ovaries) are literally split in half. this is perhaps why most of them are complete assholes.
casual onlooker 1: Is that guy alright?
casual onlooker 2: which guy?
casual onlooker 1: The anorexic looking one.
casual onlooker 2: who?
casual onlooker 1: That guy (pointing)...the one on the schwinn roadster with the square rim glasses...dear god it looks like he's got a testicle in each pant pocket.
casual onlooker 2: that's a guy?
casual onlooker 1: i think he's one of those "hipsters"?

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.There are different types of hipsters.
1.) The preps who wear big glasses and suspenders. They straight up say they are a hipster much but when they do, they go on and on about it. Even though, they know they aren't, along with everyone else, or at least I hope... :/
2.) The preps who "are in fandoms", most commonly associated with Attack on Titan, Sherlock, Supernatural, and Dexter. They read a few fanfictions and tumb1r posts to immediately "know everything about it!" They will even claim to like bands such as Nirvana, Guns'n'Roses, The Beatles, and The Black keys, which is ridiculous. Then they make Instagram posts with a "cup of tea" that they just "love so much" with the tag "hipster".
3.) The real hipsters!! These are the people who actually do yoga and meditate in the mornings, or any other chance they can get. They drink hot tea, might smoke a little cannabis, dye their hair any color they might want, play guitar, write poetry, act in plays, wear hooded leather jackets with bro tanks on under, folded skinny jeans, watch whatever shows they want, have flower crowns, if they want, and do anything they actually want for themselves.. BECAUSE THE ARE THEMSELVES!

Stone: "Wait, what, dude?? Ha, I don't know about that man *Stops to take a sip of his freshly brewed tea from the local Whole Foods* I guess people can think whatever they want about me, cause that's not me. I just can't believe they think in a hipster, haha!" *Starts eating something made out of soy paste because they're vegan... For the animals MAAANNN*
Alec: It's pretty legit, if you ask me!! Hey, but aren't there a lot of fake hipsters and shit, man?"
Stone: "Yeahh, I wish they would just be true to themselves, dude. I wish the world would do that. Oh, and peace... We need some peace here. The wars are uncivilized! We need to love each other, that's what The Buddha would want, right?"
Alec: "yeah, dude, that seems pretty groovy. Seriously, I don't say this much, but it seems like it could be as cool as beans!!"

Get the Hipster mug.Mouthy, know nothing douche' bags, with no morals, who espouse their own superiority while decrying any class systems they think they encounter. They think money is boring, and reactionary, and should be redistributed, but are they willing to pay big bucks for a 40 year old hat, like the one that grandma tried to give them lat week.
After all, if it didn't come from their local version of, 'Retro Sheik', it's just not the same.
Many are sexually ambivalent, but in a hip way, not a sleazy, cloying way.
Hipsters generally think Obama is the Savior, think Cheney is Satan.
But they'll would turn on each other in .68 seconds if / when the Zombie Apocalypse happens.

Overheard Hipster dialogue,
"Yo Jack, wasn't that Sasha, driving by, with Davey, in his '78 Volvo?!"
"...whatevs I'm not salty, that queen nixed me, digs him, but I don't feel capped, I'm with his ex, Charlie."
"...dude, or chick?"
"...would it matter?"
"...not to me pops."

Get the Hipster mug.People usually in their late teens or younger stages of adulthood who base their social identity around counter-culture, alternative music, the arts and social justice.
Hipsters are often seen as pretentious due to carrying with them an air of superiority while having achieved little of note personally. They like the idea of academia but contribute nothing much of value in the academic world and they like the idea of a social revolution but are generally unwilling to risk their usually comfortable lifestyles to achieve this.
Hipster identity is usually based around rejection of the mainstream and ironic use of mainstream fashions that have fallen out of style. Certain types of clothing and fashion accessories have actually come back into style as a result of popularisation by hipsters - they fail to see the irony in this.

Look at the top definition for hipsters on Urban Dictionary. How much of a pretentious ass does someone have to be to write paragraph after paragraph of such self-aggrandising nonsense?

Get the hipster mug.A hipster is basically someone who thinks because you like mainstream things they are superior to you and they are 9/10 the ones who complains constantly about music in the current time but are the same ones that praise the music that they used to insult back in the days. They will typically insult anyone who likes mainstream music because they.....think they are not independent thinkers.
Non-hipster: Oh I like this song
Hipster: I don't
Non-hipster: Okay, what do you think is wrong
Hipster: It's brainwashing you and I don't want to be a corporate lap-dog, it's making you a follower so no one should like it.
Non-hipster: Get those negative and stereotypical superiority feelings away from me.

Get the hipster mug.Typewriter-wielding, Jack Kerouac reading, short shorts wearing, owl glasses sporting individual who is quick to tell you how much they know about Foucault, but in reality knows nothing (Jon Snow), because they've lived their entire white life in unbelievable privilege. To spot one: look for beards and bird tattoos.
"I'm not a hipster."
"My brother is such a hipster. He doesn't even have a Roth IRA and still thinks bicycles are the only means of transportation that matters."
