hipster kids

Kids who come from the suburbs with mommy & daddy's money to come live in urban areas. They usually where flannel button up shirts and they roll up their jeans so it doesn't get caught on their bikes that they roam the city with. They listen to "tight" music like Daft Punk and Circle takes the square; you can often find them paying for over priced used clothes.

I almost ran over those hipster kids on their bikes.

Hipster

The term "hipster" is cross-applied from the 1930s Beatniks. The modern hipster is a composite of individuals with a certain bohemian life situation and lifestyle. He or she rejects "mainstream" culture and embraces and contributes to independent culture, and prides him/herself on this. The modern hipster image has been proliferated through the internet, publications such as Vice Magazine, and sightings in the music, fashion, and art world. The image of the hipster is constantly changing, but several aspects have stayed constant over time. Lives in a young, artsy neighborhood of a major city such as Wicker Park in Chicago, Greenwich Village in Manhattan, or Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Usually has some degree of monetary conformability, although sometimes only because of their parents, due to cost of living in these areas. Works (or wants to work) in music, art, or fashion. Has "elitist" music taste and listens to nu-rave (i.e. The Klaxons, Cut Copy, Hercules and Love Affair), minimalist techno, independent rap (i.e. Spank Rock, Talib Kweli, Aesop Rock), nerdcore (i.e. YT Cracker, MC Lars, MC Chris), Elephant 6 (i.e. of Montreal, Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo), garage rock, and punk rock in addition to all manners of independent rock. Favorite band is very likely Bright Eyes, The Arcade Fire, The Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines, The Strokes, or something of that nature. Also watches independent and foreign films and reads independent books, magazines, and periodicals. Is a fan of modern art and may also be an amateur artist. Dresses in a progressive but retro fashion that is often changing. Popular items include leggings, mini-skirts, leg warmers, '60s dresses, headbands, chunky jewelry, and large shirts and sweaters for girls and skinny suits and ties, tight jeans and cords, t-shirts with ironic sayings and images, cardigans, plaid and buffalo check shirts, colorful hoodies, and tight windbreakers for guys. Both genders frequently wear dirty Vans and Converses, flamboyant Nikes, large plastic frame glasses, and neon wayfarer sunglasses and are sometimes pierced and tattooed. Shops at Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, and thrift stores. Likes to hang out at fashionable coffee shops, indie rock shows, and hipster dance clubs. Does food shopping at stores like Whole Foods and is often vegan or vegetarian. Eats chic ethnic food and prefers organic and Fair Trade fruits and vegetables. Favorite beer is Pabst Blue Ribbon. Takes up many causes and is often socially minded. Enjoys irony in all facets of life, from fashion (wears mismatching outfits and unpopular vintage clothing often emblazoned with ironic sayings) to sports (plays in dodgeball tournaments at McCarren Park Pool). May ride a fixed-gear bicycle or a hybrid car. Networks through Myspace, Facebook, and/or Twitter. Usually rejects the term "hipster" and argues if called one.

Internet Hipster

Meme queens.

Those l33t netizens who find lulzy vids and discard them as "old" WAY before they hit the mainstream.

Can be found on 4Chan, Reddit, the seedy underbelly of teh interwebz...

Wouldn't be caught dead surfing the cheezburger network.

Your friend: "Hey! Check out this sweet video of a cat riding on a turtle. LOL. CUUUUUTE!"

You: "Yeah... I saw that like, 3 weeks ago. And cats are way over."

Your friend to your other friend: "Don't send anything to *your name*, Ever. She's a total Internet hipster and will make you feel like shit."

I saw Eli Fuld riding his fixie the other day. How anti-mainstream of him. He's the only hipster in YU.

hipster hopper

A hipster of the hip-hop persuasion. While following the hipster doctrines of apathy, a non-corporate lifestyle, and non-conformity, the hipster hopper often listens to rap, wears baggier clothes, and gold chains, most likely for purposes of irony.

1: "does that guy think he's flava flav?"
2: "no, he's just a hipster hopper"

Meterosexual Hipster

A man who dresses like a flamboyantly gay man to stand out of the male crowd but ends up looking like a complete tool.

"What is that gay man dress like that?"
"Why that is a meterosexual hipster!"

hipstie

a person or scene that share elements of hipsters and hippies. Often appearing like hipsters (similar dress, music interest) but lacking the usual apathy- hipsters with causes. Hipsties might work at health food stores, and would be more than happy to lecture you on either the damaging effects of mountaintop removal or the binding gender roles that persist even into the 21st century.

Those kids aren't that annoying, they're hipsties.
