A person who lacks any kind of creativity and therefore wears and does whatever is popular, while simultaneously claiming the dislike anything that is mainstream.
Person 1: "Hey, are you sure you want to buy those shoes? Everyone wears them"
Person 2: "You're right, I don't want to look like a hipster"
Person 2: "You're right, I don't want to look like a hipster"

Get the Hipstermug. by Sweettoothandstrawberryyouth November 8, 2011
Get the Hipstermug. A Hipster is someone who invests money in fedoras and tee shirts with allegedly nonconformist statements printed upon them. These statements are usually hidden by either a Hilariously Large Scarf or Tousled Hair. A Hipster might own a ukulele or three. They may make Pretentious topical references to mess that you've never even heard of, like the band Chairlift. (Yeah, go look up the band Chairlift). They might halfheartedly type screenplays on their Typewriter, and I'm talking a real Clickety-Clack Typewriter from an Antique Mall. They might even take blurry, out-of-focus, black-and-white shots of them running down a subway platform with Parliament Cigarettes stuffed in their tap shoes and post them on Instagram, just to let you know just how Deep Shit Gets for Them. If you have no Hipsters in your area, simply go look for them in Every Cell Phone Commercial Ever Made.

Get the Hipstermug. Young, white, mostly middle-class transplants into trendy areas of major cities. They enjoy indie rock, indie rap and other obscure music that the vast majority of people have never heard of. Tend to have very cynical attitudes when it comes to anything they deem "mainstream" i.e. the vast majority of others. Tend to be extremely un-athletic, pasty, skinny... basically the type of people "normal" people wouldn't fuck on a dare. They drink cheap beer, smoke foreign cigarettes and shop at thrift stores all in their vain attempt to appear as though they are not conforming to societal norms. To put in laymen terms, they were the kids in high school that would not accept the fact that in reality they were usually the ones that had no friends, were to weak and timid to hang out with the jocks, were too goofy looking to get laid and smelled like mothballs.Though some may have deemed them "intelligent" because of their vast array of useless knowledge about music, poetry, film noire and other things that no one else cares about, in all actuality the only people they can carry on a conversation with is one of their own, which is a very small percentage of the population. They also love skinny jeans which are only appropriate for women or teenage boys, not thirty somethings that are balding and or gray.
normal person. "are you a hipster?"
hipster. (befuddled look on face)..."NO!"
normal person. "I only asked because I noticed the two hot chicks next to you that you haven't even noticed because your to busy arguing who was more of a literary icon Kurt Vonnegut or Hunter S. Thompson?" All the while drinking Pabst and smoking some Euro-trash brand of cigarettes at a bar on Saturday night. Instead of trying to fuck said girls, you would rather talk about authors that no one gives a shit about.

Get the Hipstermug. "Hipster" is a modern insult implying that the subject judges others based on taste in popular music and clothing. Concomitant implications include a glamorized view of poverty, leftist politics, and a disdain for daily work.

Get the hipstermug. A fake interested in being hip and different rather than interested in fine things themselves, be it philosophy, music or writing. Those (fans, maniacs, writers, people who love music with all of their hearts, etc) were always with us, but they're not externally cool, hip and different enough. A hipster condemns mainstream for being mainstream, not for those cases where mainstream has bad taste. Self-conscious at all times to be hip and cool, they actually look pretentious and vain.
Hipster to you: "A XXXXX band (you've never heard of) is cool, but Fatboy Slim, The Doors or Massive Attack? Too mainstream."
