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."

Hipster is from the 1950s. He was educated, well-employed -- writer, artist, actor -- out of the mainstream. NYC hipsters lived in Greenwich Village (now the West Village). Many favored the non-gentrified Upper West Side. They wore tweed jackets with patches on the elbows, read Russians, avant-garde Brits and Americans. They flirted with left-wing politics, rejecting Communism, but liking Socialists or Trotskyists. They haunted MOMA and small film spaces like the Thalia on West 96th. Mainly white, hipsters loved classic and modern jazz by African-American artists: Lady Day, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, the Modern Jazz Quartet, even Duke Ellington. They drove European sports cars, not necessarily for speed or power, but for artful handling in city traffic. Some hipsters rode Italian motor scooters, like Vespa or Lambretta. Back then hipsterdom was a male culture. Many original hipsters were closeted gay men. A woman became a hipster only by partnering with a hipster dude.

Around the beginning of this millennium, young artists, finding southern Manhattan too costly, migrated across the Billyburg Bridge to northern Brooklyn, bringing the old, almost-extinct East Village culture with them, and, not really knowing anything about Greenwich Village or the Upper West Side a half century earlier, revived the word hipster. It has no relation to the original meaning, except to cite a group that isolates itself from, or considers itself better than, the mainstream.
The dive off West 125th Street was haunted by pimps, off-duty whores, and this hipster who kept playing Lady Day on the jukebox.

On a hot night, with all the windows open on West 4th or Bleecker, all you hear are Nina Simone and Ray Charles from apartments of insomniac hipsters listening to Symphony Sid on the radio.

The hipster in his classic Ferrari registered for the annual Auto Rallye.

How the fuck can that Billyburg dude call himself a fucking hipster and say he never heard of Bessie Smith and how she died?

hipster

A subset of society unable to grasp the irony of attempting to give off the impression of shunning mainstream culture and fashion by dressing and acting like they are in a glossy mainstream high street clothes retailer commercial.
Hipster: Sorry I look so shabby, I just rolled out of bed.
Non-hipster: No, you look great! I wish I could look as effortlessly stylish as you!
Hipster: Oh, you actually believed me? This look actually took half a day to get right. I lie to people so I can seem better than them.

hipster

The absolute scum of the earth. They only like things that are different and would refuse to be normal even if it meant the apocalypse would happen.
Hipster: OMG, you're drinking coffee? That is so mainstream. I only drink the finest ground coffee beans from one particular tree named Devin that is in the middle of Kenya.

Not a hipster: Oh, you're drinking coffee. Cool.
