hipster garabe

n. Someone or something (commonly a band) held in the highest regard by hipster culture.

Origin: An internet meme from last.fm in late 2008, specifically the shoutbox for Aphex Twin and later Animal Collective.

Often mistakenly thought to be a misspelling of "hipster garbage," hipster garabe is not strictly a derogatory term.
