modern term for organized counter culture, ie. not really counter culture at all, just a manifestation of posers desperate for a purpose.
as a result of acting like a douche bag, mary adopted a hipster persona, hoping it would make her seem not like a worthless sack.

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

Get the hipstermug. A person who deliberately uses unpopular, obsolete, or obscure styles and preferences in an attempt to be "cooler" than the mainstream
Normal person: "This thing is popular and conventional, liking it means I'm in synch with everyone else, which makes me feel well surrounded and part of the good crowd"
Hipster: "This thing is special and unconventional and different from what everyone else likes, embracing it makes me feel rare and unique and part of the good crowd"

Get the hipstermug. most of them are fag-bags.
hipsters are a modern category of people ranging from teens to young adults. they have a very "hip" sense of style (obviously) which includes scarves, fedoras, tight pants, plaid shirts, and oxfords, generally. some can have an image of goth, or emo, but on a less harsh scale.

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.
