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 hipster mug.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.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.

They criticize main stream society for not indulging in such fads.
