Short definition: Formerly sweet area initially taken over by hipsters, then by brats - all at the expense of forcing out the original inhabitants who no longer can afford living there.
Longer definition: Take for example Majorna in Sweden. Historically Majorna has been a place for the poor but has in recent years skyrocketed to become one of the most posh living areas around. Still with the historical whiff of ghetto in the atmosphere, hipsters flock like iPad'ing rats to the place, gentrifying it of its original inhabitants. With their wreckelss financial expenditures the hipsters has driven up the housing prices enormously which also attracts brat asses who are in search of exclusivity.

And so it begins, one hipster to the other:
"Hey man you see that poor area, I don't really know why but I so feel like waking my inner concrete ghetto realness, lets buy a flat for the fun of it and start another Hipstybratization yaay!"

Necessary Ingredients:
Skinny jeans, if you don't have any you can substitute leggings as a replacement. Off kilter music taste i.e. yeah yeah yeahs, m.i.a., people the average person hasn't heard of, and anything indie or considered weird. Usually art enthusiasts. Often pierced or tattooed. Shopping at 2nd hand stores and going thrifting is a way of life, Urban Outfitters is also a home away from home. Most parties include PBR. It's not unusual to see one with a bike. In addition, it helps if you top all of that off with a pair of glasses, you can use a variety but one's that resemble something that Kanye West owns or worn by a librarian in the 80s/80s inspired would work. Economically, some can be secret trust fun hoarders, some can be broke city dwellers, and some can fall right in the middle, it varies. Rejection of the mainstream is highly encouraged but whether or not all hipsters do that is arguable. Some are also fond of wearing a scarf or rag in with the previously stated look and MANY exist on tumblr.

Get the hipster mug.Hipsters are basically tree-huggers with i-phones. Full of idiosyncracies, they dont even understand the numerous internal contradictions of their own (political) philosophy. For example, they think they are environmentally friendly, socially responsible and sustainable (whatever the fuck that means) and yet all of them have i-phones (as previsously stated). They dislike so called mainstream culture, capitalism and traditional (family) values. A lot of them went to college for a liberal arts degree, which explains all the bullshit they are saying all the time. Physically, they tend to be small. In short: They are the most fucked up cultural sub-group in the world.
