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.

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."

Get the Hipstermug. Basically a city hippy except more conceited. They dress in a way that makes them look like they got dressed in the dark with clashing colors and patterns when in fact they spent a long time getting ready. They really like talking about themselves and their values that can change by the next time you talk to them. They pride themselves on being non-conformists but they are conforming in that way.

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."

Get the hipstermug. Person 1: "What is he wearing?"
Person 2: "I don't know, but I think I'm gonna start wearing it."
Person 1: "He is such a hipster."
Person 2: "I don't know, but I think I'm gonna start wearing it."

Get the Hipstermug. 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 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.
