Hipster: I shall carry this Nietzche book along with this book on embryology to the coffee shop to look intelligent today.

Echo. A girl who hates everything "normal" people love, and loves everything that "normal" people hate. She refuses to conform but is willing to compromise but only if it benefits her.
Wow! Your just like Echo with your style. She is such a hipster.

It's a fashion movement, and it's the most imperialistic one you could ever imagine. Poor areas with rich culture are steamrolled over, as a homogenous wave of liberal arts students try on, commodify, and sell its remnants. Everything is a fashion than can be taken on or thrown out, and every part of culture is there to be declawed then commodified for this very same group.

Someone who's too mainstream to call themselves a hipster.
Josh: Naw bruh i don't drink coffee no more, just organic tea.
Brendan: Youz a hipster man
Josh: What?! No. That's too mainstream bruh. Gotta go catch Coldplay perform at this subtle underground stadium. I'll blog about it on my boho tumblr. Shalom.

People embracing the new age hippie lifestyle, while ignoring the fact that following a scene or trend, in turn makes them look like everyone else who wants to be a hipster. Ultimately surrendering their individualism and identity to whatever trends happening at the time.

Hipsters can usually be identified by their bohemian/Jamaican hair and clothing styles. Showing their desperate attempt to fit into a variety of cultures all at once. Mostly because they feel they have no real identity or style of their own.
Person #1: What do you think of my new glasses and dread locks?!

Person #2: Kind of makes you look like a 1960s style Woodstock visiting hippie.

Person #1: Really? Damn! I was going for a hipster look. That's why I also got this ugly Greek Fisherman Hat.

A "hipster" is a person, mostly a Millennial, who is trying to hold on to the small-town suburban life that they experienced whilst in college, doing so while living in an urban setting. A group of individuals using trappings of suburban / rural living, from bicycles to thift shop clothing to beards and more, in an attempt to stake a claim as an "counter culture".

A group looked upon with suspicion by others due to, what is perceived, as being somewhat disingenuous as their lifestyle does not fit in with their actual choice of living environment. A hipster moved voluntarily into an urban area yet attempts to change the community into a mirror of the smaller, suburban / rural, somewhat artsy living zone that they left after college yet became accustomed to whilst attending.

An individual living in an enclave of people who fall under the classification in order to associate themselves with the lifestyle / movement / feeling.

A group seeking to maintain their earlier life of small town college experience and anti-establilshment statements in their later years. A person using facades taken from varied sources such as outdoorsman to artster to grunge, in an attempt to create a sense of original individualism around themselves.
You want to go to the hipster area and get some sliders at one of those pubs?

That hat is very hipster, you'll just need to grow out the beard.

I'm trying to find an apartment around Williamsburg, it's great there! Love all the hipster feel, really cool.

Is this sweater too hipster?

That bike is so hipster, does anyone else even want to buy it?
