A hipster is someone who conforms to non-conformity, usually without realizing they are doing so. Hipsters typically have subdued narcissistic traits and an amorphous sense of self. Hipsters usually project a passive or passive aggressive persona of superiority to those who live within societal norms or mainstream culture, and they externalize (or push internalized) self-judgement and insecurity onto others by way of harsh criticism via over-intellectualizing things to the point of creating irrational logic loops. Ultimately, hipsters are people with an identity problem. Their efforts to solve this problem usually come from attempting to individuate themselves through subcultural trends (such as off-beat fashion, music and art trends, etc.) that make them feel unique despite the irony that their efforts to do so end up being conformist to a hipster subculture that has become mainstreamed in a roundabout way.
A hipster walks into a bar and realizes they don't have a mixologist, only bartenders. He walks out.

A hipster is anyone who lives in Fitzroy, Brunswick or Northcote. No one living in South Yarra, they are not hipsters.
Example A: "Wow look at that hipster, they must live in Fitzroy!"

Example B: "Wow look at them, they must live in South Yarra! They're not a hipster. That's a gucci bag."

Someone who claims to know a lot about music/art while having little to no interest and very very little understanding of it & the associated communities. Basically a fake ass fucker who acts like an elitist know-it-all but they have no really interest in it and use this fake interest to leverage their social standing (aka just to look better than everyone else).

Synonymous with poseur.
Patrick's such a hipster. He says he listens to Alcest but he doesn't even know what genre the band is.
