A person who tries to be independent and intelligent by distancing themselves from whatever they think is mainstream. They like to engage in annoying and pretentious behaviors, like writing grandiose definitions about themselves on Urban Dictionary.
See the #1 entry. Typical hipster babble.
"The concepts of androgyny and feminism have influenced hipster culture, where hipster men are often as thin as the women they date. The muscular and athletic all-American male ideal is not seen as attractive by confident and culturally-empowered hipster women who instead view them as symbols of male oppression, sexism, and misogyny."
I'm sorry my muscles offend you. Will it make you feel better if I emaciate myself?
"Although hipsters are technically conformists within their own subculture, in comparison to the much larger mainstream mass, they are pioneers and leaders of the latest cultural trends and ideals. For example, the surge of jeans made to look old and worn (i.e. "distressed"), that have become prevalent at stores such as The Gap, American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Hollister, were originally paraded by hipsters who shopped in thrift stores years before such clothing items were mass produced and sold to the mainstream consumer. The true irony here is that many of the detractors of hipster culture are in fact unknowingly following a path that hipsters have carved out years before them."
Yes, worn and torn jeans are a very important part of American culture and ideals. So glad the hipsters were smart and kind enough to figure this out for the rest of us.

Get the hipster mug.People of the Millenials generation who believe they are artistic in appearance, have artistic abilities, and think they are photographers because they can add a filter to a photo. They enjoy smoking cigarettes, weed, popping molli, and doing drugs that are just random combinations of letters and numbers. Really they are a culture of people stuck somewhere between gay and straight. Fuck defining this, theyre a bunch of faggots.
Frank: Yo, did you see Rando got a new guitar?
Jim: Its not new, he got it at a thrift shop and it's warped and out of tune.
Frank: Yeah It has character and an iconic sound
Jim: I literally sounds like a baby crying.
Frank: Nah man, it fits his image
Jim: Of what? Looking like a homeless person?
Frank: You just don't get it, Rando's a hipster.
Jim: No, Rando is a cheap fuck
Frank: Ur a conformist man, hand me my fedora, I'm gonna go get high and take pictures of Rando and his new guitar
Jim: Fuck man, I need new friends

Get the Hipster mug.Hipsters are supposed to be people who don't care what others think of them, nowadays, it means you wear crop tops and high waisted shorts. Look, the shorts are like three millionths of an inch away from you wearing nothing. So, what I'm trying to say is that to be a hipster, be yourself, you don't have to wear whats 'in' or 'cool or 'cute'. Wear what you want to wear, if being yourself means jeans and an old comfy t-shirt, then there you go, you're you. Maybe being you is wearing a crop top and high waisted shorts. So what if the popular kids at school wear it, if you like the style, go ahead, but if you just wear it to fit in, don't, different is just different, you shouldn't care if they think what your wearing is 'weird', or, 'boring', it's you. I like wearing sweaters and hoodies, so at school I started a trend, and trust me, by all means, I am NOT popular, but anyways, all the people in my grade, even the 'popular' girls, who, out of school wear crop tops and what not, started wearing a hoodie over their uniform, and now they've started rolling their skirts so they're like three inches away from not having a skirt, and a tooooooon of people started rolling them, but they end up pulling it down, I don't have any of the schools skirts, I happen to wear shorts, and that's me, it might not be flattering, or cute, but it's me, and I don't care what they think about what I wear, it's me. So next time someone starts a new trend, be yourself. Maybe you'll start one too.
Popular girl: Oh my god, her outfit is, like, gross, who even wears that?
Non-popular girl: Whatever.
Popular girl: Ew your outfit is gross. You should go to American Apparel and get their new (whatevers in style)
girl: Well, your right, I mean, it's comfy, but who cares, crops tops are bae!!!
Who do you think is the hipster? Who is being themself?
Non-popular girl: Whatever.

Get the Hipster mug.People who pay lots of money for clothes inspired by the '70s hippie movement but have no idea what enlightenment is, are uncomfortable with nudity, use the saying "good vibes" as a trend not actually knowing how to experience real vibrations and energy, can't go into nature without their iPhone.
