hipster

You know that guy that works at starbucks has a carefully constructed 'i don't care' hair cut, seems perpetually disenchanted with society, politics, his work, everything everyone else does, over estimates his own intelligence and feels cheated in life, acts like he's broke, but gets hand outs from his well-off parents, studies a useless subject at university, and models himself on Seth from the OC? Yeah, total hipster.

Hipsters tend to pride themselves on obsure popular culture references and go to great lengths to formulate a pretentious scruffy look which actually requires great care.

hipster

The hippies of the 2000's. They listen to "undiscovered" bands, wear retro clothes from thrift stores, and only hang around other hipsters. They try to look as though they don't have a lot of money, while still looking trendy. They usually smoke a lot of weed, and use various other drugs. They don't wear any brand name items, or visit at any chain stores. They are sometimes vegetarian or vegan. They are very into "artsy" things. They may be a painter or musician, or a dancer, or have a low-paying job. They try to go for the "starving artist" look. A lot of times hipsters will actually come from wealthy families. They may have gauges, and do not typically wear makeup of any kind. They try to be as "natural" and "organic" as they can. They buy their groceries from either Whole Foods, or Trader Joe's. They are usually very liberal. They often practice Buddhism, or try to be "zen." They also often protest against large corporations, or chemical companies, because "they love the environment." Hipsters try very hard to be hipsters, but if you tell them that they are a hipster, they will deny it, because to them it is a compliment, not a stereotype. They range between 15-30 years old. They are very strongly opposed to "conforming," which to them is anything that anyone else might have, do, or say.

Person: Hey, check out my new phone!
Hipster: I don't approve of technology, it's not natural. You're such a conformist. I'm just gonna go hang out with my other natural friends.

hipster

A individual who prides themselves on what they perceive to be their "unique" sense of style and entertainment. They can usually be identified by their skinny jeans, love of nostalgic items, thick rimmed glasses, and their smug sense of superiority. A conversation with a "hipster" will usually entail of obscure bands, designers, and politicians and they can usually be spotted on bicycles, Urban Outfitters, or Whole Foods. They enjoy "ironic" things: mostly what you wouldn't expect a self-absorbed upper class individual would enjoy: such as cheap beer, piercings, and bolo ties. Basically, a very well-dressed douche-bag.

Hipster: "So I was watching Sesame Street the other day while eating some Captain Crunch, and my dog Bark Obama threw up all over my Times New Viking LP. I had to wipe it up with my Three Wolf Moon shirt, and I was so shook up about it I had to relax with some clove cigarettes and some Pabst Blue Ribbon."

Normal Person: "Wow, aren't you the little hipster? Now get your Barbie ten-speed off my lawn.

hipster

Counter culture conformist. I understand, seems contradictory but listen up. Hipster counter conventional culture solely for the purpose of countering conventional culture not because that's the culture they enjoy. They just conform to being different which makes no sense at all. Hipsters are very anti-establishment meaning that they do not do normal things. For example many hipsters do not live in the general housing; many live in shacks or in very close quarters with other people, generally other hipsters. In addition hipsters are not generally interested in academic pursuits because it is considered "conforming" to get an education by attending school and college. For some strange reasons despite their irregular and nonsensical living style, hipsters take pride in their ability to not be normal.

Normal Person: Hey wanna go out to eat?
Hipster: Depends, where?
Normal Person: I'm not sure. How about chipotle?
Hipster: NO! I can't eat there like everyone goes there. I cant just conform and eat there like everybody else.
Normal Person:Wow what a hipster.

hipster

1. An arrogant ass-sucker who could find irony in a blowjob, but could not find a way out of his or her own sphincter

2. Someone who mistakenly considers himself or herself cooler (i.e. more "hip"), smarter, and more open-minded than others due to a misplaced sense of self-worth; also likes to refer to himself or herself as a "hipster"

Examples

1. Jason's hipster girlfriend gave him oral sex, then found it ironic that his jizz tasted like the food he had for dinner.

2. While sniffing her anus to confirm that her shit did not indeed stink, Jason's hipster girlfriend managed to stick part of her face into her butt. The paramedics had to come dislodge her head from her ass.

3. Some hipster was preaching about the differences between Plato and Aristotle on the street-corner. He had never read the works of Plato, nor of Aristotle, but he was convinced of his authority on the matter because he had good grades in classes other than philosophy and he wore hipster glasses with a hipster hairstyle.

hipster

Hipsters are a sub-culture of self-conscious image-obsessed middle-class white people who have abandoned independent thinking and place a high value on conformity. If people around them are growing beards, hipsters will do the same. If tattoos and piercings become a trend, hipsters will be the first people to flock to tattoo parlours. Hipsters never have sincere thoughts or action. It may be that hipsters were bullied at school and were not very good at sports, explaining why they rarely smile. They console themselves by examining their bank balance, which is usually very healthy thanks to daddy's trust fund.

John "that hipster girl thinks she is so unique: dyed neon hair, tattoos, piercings, thick glasses"
Paul"which hipster girl? every girl in this bar is like that!"
