Get the hipstermug. Grew up in generic suburbia, USA, and now lives in Brooklyn. Spends hours making hair and clothing look like they just rolled out of bed after an all-night bender.

Get the hipstermug. An insufferable, pseudo-intellectual twerp who defines his identity mainly through allusions to, and alleged knowledge of, obscure popular culture, often of the ephemeral variety. This urban poser advertises this identity via vintage clothing, thick-rimmed glasses, and ironically or iconically decalled t-shirts, oblivious to the concept that his conformity to a predefined template for appearance undermines and contradicts his attempt to be an independent thinker. He exibits a strong narcissism in the form of his constant hunt for attention and self affirmation via online social networks and communications technologies, through which he believes he is channeling relevant, interesting, and enlightening information, but which he usually employs to boost his hipster cred by making obscure references, parroting Internet memes, and generally proclaiming the superiority of his tastes. In quiet desperation, however, the hipster is racked with anxiety, as he is constantly driven by a desire to be "in on the joke" - the concept that other hipsters may be enjoying something of which he is cluelessly unaware, that he may not understand the disposable 90's movie reference which sent his peers into a titter, is anathema to this self-satisfied but inherently insecure social animal.
Mark cursed softly as the hipster in the aisle paused next to him to stow his Apple-logo messenger bag in the overhead bin. The Banana Splits t-shirt at eye-level and the thick, horn-rimmed glasses looking down at him told him that he was going to be in for a long flight filled with tedious conversations about the power of social media to help the unemployed take the country back from evil corporations.

Get the hipstermug. Hipsters are misguided adolescent minded people who live in a deluded fantasy land to promote their self-absorbed brand of pretentious alternativism. They act and dress alternatively so that they can illicit the perception from those around them that they are 'alternate' in every way.
The hipster’s train of thought is they want everybody to know that they’re different and they peacock this persona to fulfil its maximum potential. It’s egocentrism in its most disturbing manifestation; their entire focus is to have all eyes on them by any means necessary other than their own individualism and sense of self. The ultimate irony of the hipster is they seek the idealistic goal of complete individualistic freedom, yet they attempt to achieve this through mass conformity and a dogmatic stance on what this ‘non conformity’ should be and how its represented. It is the complete inversion to the ‘sense of self’ that free thinking human beings strive for as the 'individual' is rejected for the badge, banner and title of ‘hipster’, be it literal or figurative.

Get the hipstermug. How much does a hipster weigh? An instagram.
Where do hipsters not like to swim? In the mainstream.
How did the hipster burn his tongue? He drank his coffee before it was cool.

Get the hipstermug. A hipster USED to be a unique individual. One who didn't try to be anything but themselves, and by doing that made them different.
NOW a Hipster is a young adult and/or teenager who, well to be honest is pretty much everything a Hipster is NOT. They stole the stereotype and made it into their own sort of culture.
Hipsters now, tend to claim they love tea, Underground pop indie music. They of course have to have a Mac and since their parents are loaded they shop at urban outfitters to pay twice as much for "Vintage" looking clothing than at a thrift store. They claim to be an "Artistic Individual" which is why they take on something such as painting or photography, when in reality they suck at it.
Hipsters used to be scene kids, but then they "found themselves and "grew up". They were probably bullied in school which is why being a "hipster" now, somehow gives them the excuse and right to look down on other people and have a higher opinion of things.
Being a hipster is about being unique and the best way to be unique is to be YOURSELF.
The worst hipsters are the ones that deny being a hipster. They usually get very offended when called this.

Person: "Dude you look like a hipster."
Hipster: "I am not a hipster. Hipsters are way to mainstream."
