A pretentious person who thinks s/he is cultured and often superior to others simply because s/he listens to indie music, watches art films, and drinks overly expensive coffee at coffee houses that are often crowded with other hipsters. Most often they possess an economically worthless degree in something like philosophy, liberal arts, or history that they earned at a junior college or satellite university. They waste most of their disposable income on albums, cigarettes, and/or going to crappy shows. They often follow issues surrounding liberal topics and are typically very liberal themselves, often to the point of being very narrow-minded (though they think they're the most open-minded people). They delude themselves to the point of thinking they're more refined than everyone else when they're really just pseudo-intellectuals who need to stop wearing used clothing and take showers more often.
That hipster in my creative writing class always criticizes my poems on technology. That $6 coffee he gets every morning must be rotting his brain.

Get the Hipster mug.the whole subculture is at best a misguided resignation to irony and at worst a conscious attempt at absurdist elitism.

Get the hipster mug.Someone who thinks they're cool for doing/wearing/watching/listening non-mainstream stuff. It's one thing to not be mainsteam; but it's something else to act all cool about it.

This person also indicated as traditional hotness in women is looked down upon, well this is because none of the hipster women are hot; they're more like the girl who sat in the corner and read, while wearing polka dotted dresses and had the bad acne. (There is nothing wrong with that, I encourage intelligence in women, but putting down women for being hot is a sign of jealousy and insecurity, which we all know transcribed into the modern day hipster.) Let's not forget most of the males who deemed these women as unattractive (You know, swimsuit models and such) never had a chance with them in the first place. So now they proclaim the female hipsters are refreshingly unique, independent, and beautiful for their minds and beauty as an excuse to date plane janes with granny sweater fetishes.
This lack of success with the female gender transcribes into sexually confused, spineless effeminate males smoking the disgusting tasteless cigarette known as "Parliament cigarettes" while secretly wishing it was a cock in their mouth, due to their failure to develop any real game, and
hang out with a crowd of semi-lesbian bisexual women and men in an effort to get laid. After many nights of Pabst blue ribbon and reading books they don't comprehend, they hold hands together and go back to their apartment for bisexual sex. Men on men and women on women action, not knowing the reasons why.

"Look there goes another crowd of poorly dressed Hipsters who think they're more intelligent than everyone. Too bad they won't talk to me about Obama because I just bought a leather jacket from Gap."

Get the Hipster mug.Someone who will do everything to avoid being mainstream.
Usually a person who listens to awful music, in the hope the artist(s) will never become popular and therefore will never become mainstream, wears no designer clothing so to be different to peers, goes to midnight gatherings because they do not have anything to do in the mornings as going to work is beneath them or college doesn't start until 11, have a tattoo in Arabic because they went to the UAE for one week on their gap year and have established a spiritual connection with the country, hates their parents because they work in the city for 'the man', wear snapback or beanie hats and have piercings to show there individualism and finally male hipsters grow neatly trimmed facial hair to so they have an artistic nature.

Get the hipster mug.Hipster: A present day hipster is generally a melodramatic teen that considers himself to be unique. A hipster will occasionally denies him or herself to be a hipster simply to ensure other people consider them to be hipsters. They usually attempt to listen to bands that were once "indie" but now are mainstream. Many hipsters will wear stupid glasses they don't need and occasionally act very emotional on the basis of nothing. A hipsters world is based on proving to others that they're a hipster.
Wow Jared is such a hipster because he wears clothes that clash themselves and listens to the underground band vampire weekend. He is so deep.
