hipster

Hipsters are people that try too hard to be different (and genuinely do think that they're being different), by rejecting anything they deem to be too popular.
Ironically, so many other people also try too hard to be different that they all wind up being the exact same, so hipsters arent actually different at all, theyre just people that are snobbier and more annoying about their taste in "alternative" things, which are all popular now thanks to the other hipsters.
Hipsters pride themselves on liking things that no one else likes, and normally only really like them because they think no one else likes them and that theyre being unique. This is being delusional because all the other hipsters also like the same things.
Hipster: "I love Mumford and Sons because they're so different to popular music nowadays."
A Million Other Hipsters: "I love Mumford and Sons because they're so different to popular music nowadays."
Mumford and Sons consequently becom a popular band because of their large hipster following of people who think they're being different for listening to them.

(Note: this isn't a hate on Mumford and sons, it's just an example!)

hipster service

When an establishment has staff or labour that projects a sense of aloofness, general unfriendliness, cultural arrogance, a focus on style over quality, shallowness, and general superficial focus. Often seen in bars and cafes where the staff should obviously not be in the service industry due to a lack of friendliness, intelligence, charisma, concern, and ability to actually connect with people and customers.

This happens often in bars where a few hipsters are first hired, and then through the general segregated and rigid nature of hipster culture, only other hipster are hired. Before long, only hipsters work at the establishment and an air of malaise sinks deep into the cultural fabric of the establishment. Leaving a hollow empty feeling that alternatives crowds generally curse the mainstream for. The irony being of course that in the great search for a service sector job and the search to be unique, different, and stylized, the hipster service-members have unknowingly created their own mainstream with similar rules, social conventions, and inability to connect with people.
Person 1: Ou, what a cool bar. Everything LOOKS great, theres even a turntable.
Person 2: Yeah, on the surface it looks fun. That turntable is only playing hip-hop though.

Person 3: This place sucks, I just went to get a pint.

Person 1: What happened?
Person 2: The staff didn't break a smile despite me engaging him, and he couldn't even have a basic conversation even though its dead. Classic hipster service.

hipster shit

Music so awful that its only use is to be flaunted as a fashion accessory by those obsessed with the idea of coolness; it remains perpetually "obscure" because no sane human being would listen to this music for pleasure.
Dan: Hey dude, I just got a limited-edition copy of We Are As The Romans Should Have Been's new EP - and on vinyl, too! It's Gregorian chants with a mambo beat - mind-blowing! Come listen!

Ben: Ugh, no. You can keep your hipster shit to yourself.

Dan: SCREW YOU! YOU DON'T KNOW GOOD MUSIC!

hipster sex

A form of fully-clothed sexual intercourse, usually practiced by hipsters, who prefer it because it allows them to leave their ultra-tight jeans on during the act. (The process of removing the jeans may take several hours to complete, by which time the need or desire for sex could be dissipated.)
"What are those two people doing? It looks like they're writhing around on top of a copy of Pitchfork magazine, interlocked but fully-clothed."

"It's just hipster sex. Leave them to it."

Hipster Hot Potato

The phenomenon of people in a argument, each trying to dismiss the others opinion by claiming it is the opinion a hipster would have.
Ladies and gentlemen, Hipster Hot Potato.
'You're a hipster' 'No YOU'RE the hipster' 'You're such a hipster you call other people hipsters' 'Only a hipster would say that'.
