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. A person who will do whatever they can to act different from society. They think conforming to society's trends is a bad thing and will then try to be individual by putting themselves in a group where everyone where's the same fucking thick rimmed glasses and has the same androgynous haircut. They drink PBR because they think it's vintage and listen to music you probably have never heard of and most of them more than likely have majored in art and think that makes them a scholar. They without a doubt vote for Obama.They also eat kale and drive hybrids or they don't drive a car at all. A nest of them is growing in Brooklyn , New York. Basically they think they are a counter culture but they are too absorbed in their own smug to realize they are just fucking douschebags.
"Is that a boy or a girl over their drinking PBR wearing glasses and tight ass jeans?"
" it's just an arrogant hipster"

Get the Hipstermug. Modern day hipsters are the counter-culture product of a belly full consuming materialistic society. We have no real social or political issues to revolt against; so they choose to revolt against the mainstream pop culture. *1* And with what again? Even more materialism and consumerism. *2*
Hipsters will enjoy a bunch of uninteresting "boring" things in an attempt to spite what they assume to be "sheeple". They turn neutral, once respected things into ridiculous holier than thou interests. Extreme examples turns into hilarity. *3* They will eventually suck the life out of anything that was once neutral.
A hipster is just as conforming as anybody, but then again, what part of youth isn't? Hipsters are no different than any other youth, Because take out the surface differences, the main reasons for such behavior is same as any; sex, vanity, social status, and substance abuse. Original "values" such as the pseudo "liberal independent thinking" have been destroyed by the vain parasites of the subculture. Stop fooling yourselves, there is nothing free thinking about (...) ; admit you like this band because it's indie (Not because it's original or "smart"), or wear this type of clothing just because nobody else does. Probably to look chic to others, ay? *4*
Like whatever pleases you; friendships are formed, not screened through like job applications.

1* Hipsters are a evolved version of resentment and social stigma. It's evolved however, so much; modern day hipsters are now a entirely new subculture of their own, Complete with specific trends and rules.
2* for example: Pop music, specific current fashions like mall clothing, etc are looked down upon as conformity. To "fight" such atrocities; hipsters desperately cling to their own trends, such as listening to extremely obscure music and buying only from specific labels.
3* *Hipster: "Yeah, I really enjoy (insert band)"
Someone: "You know... (insert band) promotes A LOT of (insert obvious human rights violations)...
Hipster: "Like you'd know! You just don't understand the complexity of them! You're just another close minded arrogant MTV loving conformist!"
**Most hipsters don't care to actually read real books; however since reading, philosophy, politics, what not is so "uncool" it's automatically a pseudo-interests, because the people who dislike such things are SUCH conforming robots of society!
4* The same things happen, random people hook up, people get their pictures taken by whatever paparazzi, we see if we recognize so and so who we heard some gossip about and look; there's some booze.
