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. 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. A person who will do whatever they can to act different from society. They think conforming to society's trends is a bad thing and will then try to be individual by putting themselves in a group where everyone where's the same fucking thick rimmed glasses and has the same androgynous haircut. They drink PBR because they think it's vintage and listen to music you probably have never heard of and most of them more than likely have majored in art and think that makes them a scholar. They without a doubt vote for Obama.They also eat kale and drive hybrids or they don't drive a car at all. A nest of them is growing in Brooklyn , New York. Basically they think they are a counter culture but they are too absorbed in their own smug to realize they are just fucking douschebags.
"Is that a boy or a girl over their drinking PBR wearing glasses and tight ass jeans?"
" it's just an arrogant hipster"

Get the hipstermug. So a hipster is 2 young to have the life experience 2 be wise yet is arrogantly morally superior/ judgmental, & absurdly closed-minded to any idea that challenges their dogma. They condemn racism but have never put it to the test by living in a 3rd world country, never even been uncomfortable or w/o tech toys. Choose to be thin but have never known/witnessed actual starvation. Judge/condemn others by body shape, hairstyle, clothing while claiming to be non-conformists. Constantly reduce human beings to 2 dimensional stereotypes, cluster in urban areas to reassure each other of their superiority rather than bravely dispersing to spread their values of unity, creativity, free thought, & racial integration to ACTUALLY change the world. I could go on pointing out the massive bias/ludicrously inaccurate hypocritical statements made here ( hipsters invented distressed jeans? Really? Diamond wash was commercially available in the 70s) but I will just summarize this article by saying it is completely delusional-the opinion of a 58 year old woman who lived in Jamaica 12 years, has Mexican & Jamaican daughters, traveled many countries, known true hunger, sacrificed to help others not just espoused beliefs on the internet to gratify my own ego, & doesn't feel superior to anyoneac, except possibly the moron that wrote this article.
Right after a free-thinking, open-minded hipster lays eyes on someone, they form an opinion based on a few spare facts, and know they are morally superior to someone who does not dress like them.
