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

Get the hipstermug. 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.

Get the hipstermug. 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 hipstermug. A sub-group that attempts to show intellectual strength and independent thinking by expressing leftist or "counter-caplist" ideas which often conflicts their practices. Hipsters claim to want a world where people should be more independent and free thinking yet they create trends and social rules that they expect others in their subculture to follow. They criticize main stream society for not indulging in such fads.
Hipsters are known for their patronizing attitudes and their tendency to intrude or snub on other peoples life choices.

Sussy Soap: Oh it looks quite expensive how much was it?
Me: I don't know but they were made in Italy, and made from a really good kind of leather, my mother said it was half price
Aaliyah de Hipster: I PERSONALLY don't understand why people buy overpriced designer items and leather too, don't you know what that animal went though?
Me: Actually it was €200 own from €400 and she got it in Germany from a store that stocks leather goods made by local company. That company won awards and all so I know it will last for years.

Get the Hipstermug. 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.
