Hipster

Those members of the youth that are more in tune and welcoming to changing trends in fashion and music

Most often intellectually superior to others but do not feel the need to feed their vanity by searching for a 6 figure job

Hipsters are often teased that they are the 'real' conformists but their apathetic nature and superior intelligence ensures that non-hipster's claims are fruitless in bothering them

They provide a standalone source of artistic innovation. Hipster's work (music, art, literature) is what conformists often attempt to appreciate upon noticing their banal existence
Hipster 1: Hey look, there's another person imputting a derogatory opinionated view as a definition on urban dictionary.

Hipster 2: Wow, they're smart. (sarcastically)

Hipster

A messy, massive "subculture". I'm sure it originally was about...something, now it acts to add a little bit of salt to the cracker population moving into cities. Its in. A "hipster" is basically a master of the internet with more style than your garden variety nerd/geek/dweeb etc. Drinks coffee, smokes cigs, read books, listens to trendy music. In my experience, these things were always associated with cool. But exclusivity is what makes things trendy. This is a pitfall for hipster. Since there is little guidance, no authority, to weed out the wieners from the winners, veteran hipsters cannot distinguish themselves from posers. So you have that whole thing all over again. Remember when you were 13 and Justin Stone called you a poser for wearing a Gap t-shirt with a flat rimmed hat? G-rap with the shit then and you tried so hard, but you're not hood. You're not a surfer either, Abercrombie. And you're not "urban" by trying to allude to it with clothes, inefficient rainbow bikes, and American classics. Now that its reached suburbia I think its on its last leg. The small blogs that were the vein of this behavior have blown up, retailers have figured out how it works, and the uninitiated can identify who's trying and who's not. Save yourself some money, some time and effort, and continue to wear socks and sandals if you already do so. Cause you're really not missing much.

P.S. learn from mistakes.

Hipster

One who fervently believes they are not a hipster.
EXAMPLE:

Andy: I liked their music before they got all popular and stuff.

Marge: Ha! You're such a hipster.

Andy: No! I am not! Why do people always say that?!

Marge: Dude. You've got black coffee from the grungy café downtown. You're wearing an indie band shirt. You've got glasses like department store windows! You're a hipster.

Andy: IT'S JUST BECAUSE I HAVE ACTUAL TASTE AND YOU ARE A CONFORMIST MORON.

Hipster

A "Hipster" is a person who insists on having an opinion outside of what is actual. They like to define things that do not need an exact definition, like why Kings of Leon or U2 are popular. They hate being called "Hipster" and will deny they are hipster. They wear often wear a scarf with a jacket and hat, even when it is not cold enough to wear them. They often listen to music too loud and too inappropriate for the situation. They like going to local concerts to watch really bad bands play extremely long songs which really suck. They often listen to Mars Volta and other bands that suck. They will often watch independent movies and claim that they are the "best movies ever" and especially like Donnie Darko and other works by Richard Kelly. They are often confused culturally and like to associate themselves with things they do not actually belong to. They also ask you to turn down your volume, so that they can hear without interference.
Donnie Darko Fans, Mars Volta Fans, Guys who can't grow beards but insist that they have good ones, People who drink one beer and then act drunk the rest of the night, People who leave music on intentionally while they are not around to hear it, Anti-American Americans, Hipsters like to use really big words that do not fit, and like to put credit where it is not due, Hipsters will say things like "Spielbergian" or "Michael Bayesque" instead of "Good Movie" or "Good special effects"
