Hipster Fail

When a hipster undergoes the humiliation of not knowing a popular hipster reference. Once the hipster commits a hipster fail, he will not only be teased because of his know-nothingness and lack of hipster know-how, but he will feel a deep internal shame, which he will express by trying to make the other hipsters feel lesser.

A: "You're a bit like Donnie Darko, but only less sociable."
I: "What's Donnie Darko?"
A: "Are you serious? What a hipster fail."
D: "Hey I, there are some stairs over there. Why don't you leave the house."
I: "Hey asshole, at least I knew about MGMT before they were in Nylon."

Hipster

A person inbetween the ages of young teenager to early thirties who wears vintage/thrift store clothing and tends to embrace the underground, indie culture (art, books, music) instead of the mainstream. A typical hipster wears thick rimmed glasses/sunglasses (mostly Ray-Bans), skinny jeans, ironic tees or band shirts, and low top Converse or some kind of colorful high tops. They mostly listen to indie bands that are about to make it big, such as Phoenix. They have their own 'hip' slang such as 'deck' which means cool. They often hang out at coffee shops and have artfully messy hair. They dislike labelism and being called a hipster. They most likely live in SF's Haight, Williamsburg, SoHo, or the Mission District.

That hipster is so against the mainstream.

Hipster

Aged indie kids, Hipsters still maintain the air of snobbery, still shop at salvation army, and still have a completely astonishing array of knowledge when it comes to obscure music, pop-culture non-sequiturs, and political sneers. Absolutely a blast to be friends with, hell to be enemies of, hipsters are the most bi-polar of all the stereotypes when it comes to how they treat you. Can be recognized by books like "The Clockwork Orange", "Everything is Illuminated", or obscure philosophy books, by authors akin to Dostoevsky.

"Dude, remember sarah?"
"yeah, that little indie kid, why?"
"i saw her in a coffee shop they other day, reading The Brothers. She now goes by Anthurium..."
"Oh, our little indie kid has transformed into a hipster butterfly!"

hipster

Noun - urban (or suburban import) dweller who goes to all the coolest clubs, listens to the coolest music, is into various aspects of the arts, including but not limited to street art, indie films, street displays, sticker art, etc.... A hipster also must know all the coolest other hipsters. If you have to ask what a hipster is, then you are definitely not a hipster. Hipsters have more music on their ipods then anyone they know, and all the bands are indie or underground.

Q: how many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: What, you don't know?

Hipstellectual

1. One who makes pretentiously dismissive or authoritative statements regarding an academic field or work of art, which is totally obvious, irrelevant, or off-base, suggesting they have not read the book they're discussing.

2. One who repeats bullshit osmosed from drinking PBR with pseudo-intellectuals.

Bukowski is SUCH a misogynist," the cute hipstellectual girl smugly declared to the approbation of her mismatched ilk, who could care less what she had to say and mainly wanted to bang her.
