Hipster

A hipster is a person who expresses unpopular opinions, stating that the popular opinions are too mainstream. Of course, when someone is a hipster, it can be never certain how sincere they are, since, as with all groups, there are posers. In the case of hipsters, a poser is a person who does not actually hold the opinions that they express, and only claim to hold such opinions to try and get attention with the hipsters. A hipster poser will often express opinions that are much more unpopular than an average hipster would. The hipster posers may also be called special snowflakes.
Person 1: Hey dude, don't be sad, about 15% of people who care the issue hold the same opinion as you.

Person 2: What? Why should that make me happy? Do you think I'm a hipster?

hipster

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?

Hipster

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."

Hipster

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."
