A self-proclaimed sect of hipsterdom in which the individual recognizes he or she is a hipster with an almost aristocratic air hanging over them. Rather than rejecting the title of hipster, they accept it but seek to distinguish themselves from the broey bastardized hipsters that tend to birth out of frat houses. Characterized by a superior taste in music that encompasses a broad spectrum of genres that range from folk to variants of house. They avoid shameless wobbles known as American dubstep at all costs and love IPAs/home brewed alcohol.

Get the Hipster cat mug.Hipsters are a subculture of American consumer for whom the idea behind the marketing holds more value than the product being marketed.
The attachment of certain words, phrases or ideas to a product (e.g.; counter-culture, independent or "indie", progressive, alternative or "alt", organic, holistic, "old-school", etc.) whether that product is music, fashion, technology, food, social media or real estate, is enough to connote to the hipster "authenticity" and value, regardless of whether there is any innate value to be found.
Ironically, the hipster perceives him/herself as the counterpoint to mass-culture and conformity when, in fact the ease with which hipster "culture" can be appropriated, repackaged and marketed makes them the ultimate conformists (e.g.; tattoos were once a sign of rebellion and a badge of one's outsider status, now over 40% of all Americans under 50 have a tattoo, essentially making them all members of the same tribe.)
