n. (1) A young or youngish person who, in matters of social, musical, sartorial and professional taste, considers himself or herself to be "post-ironic" (i.e. believes that neither social practices nor social commentaries are worthwhile pursuits) while blowing off the problem that no such thing as an ironic gesture about irony can actually exist. (2) An individual who exhibits outward personal signs of late-capitalist malaise about one's inexorable and total involvement in standard-normative fields of production and consumption.
Hipsters typically exhibit a variety of self-reflexive and tragicomic symptoms, including: Retro fashion / Denial of identity / Embrace of outward poverty while retaining a measure of affluence / Rigid standards of social, professional, and political flexibility / Joyous self-realization in sadness / Personal fulfillment in the realization of non-transcendent gestures

Get the hipster mug.Half of the students at NYU.
Hipsters are mostly seen hanging around Gallatin, but can be found in Tisch or CAS occassionally as well. Think coffee and Monk's seem to be some of their hangouts, and after midnight on weekends, they swarm St.Mark's.

That guy with the checkered scarf, white v-neck tee shirt he wears every day, black skinny jeans and converses, and his girlfriend with the short hair, side-swept bangs, white and black striped glasses and a bag with a pop art design of Nietsche that you see coming off the L train from Williamsburg with their ipods and their small deli coffee, smoking a fancy cigarette. Those are hipsters.

Get the hipster mug.Someone with amazing style who typically wears vintage clothing. They usually have an very unquie appearance and rebel against the "norm". They gave an easy-going carefree out look on life. They are mostly found on blogs such as tumblr. Most are unpopular at school and very creative.

Get the Hipster mug.Being a hipster is just simply being a well-rounded person..an intellectual..someone who is true to who they are..and enjoys all the positive aspects of life while fluanting an unusual fashion sense unlike most others. Another word to describe people in this culture is "Non-Conformists."
From my experience random words or phrases associated with hipsters are..glasses,homo,skinny jeans,scarves,coffee,weird taste in music..scene kids,unique fashion sense..just to name a few.
