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 Hipstermug. 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 Hipstermug. 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.

Get the Hipstermug. hipsters take the fun out of everything and do things that they think people dont do, but they really do. they alienate themselves with other hipsters doing shitty things and getting nastalgic about things thats their parents werent even alive to experience. they dress ugly in tank tops and fedora hats and dont do anything illegal. they try to trick themselves into not caring about what people think about their style, lives and actions but the only reason they do the things they do is to gain attention. usually upper middle classed kids who shop online from organic websites based in foreign countries. they believe in world peace, harmony and love, yet due to the demand on the flip flops they buy from cuba more and more children get sucked into sweatshops to keep up the demand.
Hipster: Check out my new organic fedora i bought online from Africa.
Guy: whats it made from?
Hipster: African children's hair and sweat.
^^They love anything organic

Get the Hipstermug. A group of 20-something guys, all wearing skinny jeans and one of Elaine Benes' cardigans, sitting in a drum circle arguing over who has the dirtiest mustache.
Ugh, can I please just get a coffee without being stopped by at least 3 hipsters outside of Starbucks asking me to sign a petition for a "really important" cause that I've "probably never heard of" because it's "not mainstream"? Here's an idea: let's petition Starbucks to start installing drive through windows at more of their locations.
