hipster

People who are disapointed that you don't know the band they like, wear suspenders, make ironic jokes, wear lots of hats (especially toques), read lots of books, enjoy wiriting, enjoy mixtapes, dislike most of the mainstream, or have names like Braxton would be considered hipster.
Also hipsters are often those who protest being called a hipster. It would be too mainstream for them.
your friend: "Hey, that new kid's name is Braxton."

you: "Whoa, why is he wearing suspenders?"

your friend: "I don't know, but he just asked about some band called the Hundreds. What a hipster!"

Braxton: "I'm not a hipster!!!"

hipster

A social group typically in their mid 20's to early 30's, Hipsters are an offshoot of Gen Y thought to derive from a class of disgruntled upper-middle-class suburbanites, frustrated with the lack of culture that comes with having a life devoid of poverty. Disenfranchised in their youth by the Abercrombie generation, Hipsters-with the support of generous trust funds-propagated into various cultural centers around the country, and proceeded to replace the endemic and unique qualities of such areas with urban outfitters, american apparels, buffalo exchanges, and a host of Pho noodle joints and falafel stands. Thus, while Hipsters pride themselves on being mainstream contrarians, they in fact unwittingly create a "sub-culture" as large and annoying as the one they rail against.

hipster

A person who has serious issues with everyone else. Typically act like they hate everything, because it is too "mainstream."
Stereotypical hipsters can be seen wearing winter-wear in hot weather, or just a ton of pointless accessories such as 3D glasses without lenses.
Normally enjoy "music" that no one likes, just for the feeling of being unique.
Also tries too hard to not try.
"I don't like that song, it's too mainstream. I prefer dubstep from artists unknown."
"First off, dubstep isn't music. Secondly, you just look like a retard, trying too hard to 'do your own thing.' You're just a hipster retard."
