Hipster

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.
(Something like happened once)
Sussy Soap: I love your jacket where did you get it?
Me: My mom got them for me as a gift while traveling
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.
Aaliyah de Hipster: Yaw, I got this jacket in a trift store it made in Italy for €30
Me: Italian Leather?

Aaliyah de Hipster: Maybe, anyway it was second hand loike, still don't see why you paid €200
Sussy Soap: Oh Shut up Aaiyah, your just jealous!

hipster

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"

hipster

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.

hipster

Ineffably cool cat.

Not to be confused with "dickheads," the empty-headed, ovine army of imitators who inevitably throng in their wake, ruining everything.

Dad was a Marxian intellectual, mum a sculptress or feminist journalist or some such: Whereas we grew up on Nickolodean, he was weaned on radical politics, Andy Warhol and banter about cult literature.

Moderately attractive, probably mixed race, careful not to be *too* beautiful. Has a timeless, sexless aura hanging about him. Seems narcissistic and aloof, yet kind at heart. Survives exclusively on coffee and cigarettes.

Insinuates a complete understanding of wittgenstein and foucault, but prefers to talk about aleister crowley and B-movies. Bored by most things.

Changes conception of self like we change our socks. A scathing, arrogant music fascist yet possessed of no musical talent. Is fine with that apparent contradiction.

Nothing frustrates them more than the idiot masses aping their every move. To sully their aesthetic divinity with non-ironic imitation is the worst thing you could do to him.

And now that half the world is wearing a battered 80s jumper and a headband and is reading heidegger in a café, the true hipsters have long split, and are doing something else. Something mind-blowingly original, utterly profound and eminently ironic, of course.
Hipster 1: What's cool? Um, it's a bit like Zen, or like, maybe defines the peripheries of any given phenomenology. So it's basically better not to think or talk about it at all.

Hipster 2: What's cool? Well what's not cool? It's just a word isn't it? You know, like "sparrow" or "fuckfist" or "hello".
