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"

Get the Hipster mug.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."

Get the Hipster mug.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 Hipster mug.The annoying version of a hippie. A hippie does not wear makeup, keeps their hair natural, and eats healthy foods. Hipsters wear those stupid glasses, post quotes, and say they are a hippie or nerdy.
Peasant: OMG! I'm such a hippie. Look at my glasses. Look I can hold up a peace sign! I am such a hipster.

Get the Hipster mug.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.
