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. 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.

Get the Hipstermug. 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".
