gipster

Gay hipsters; gay (sometimes bisexual) male akin to the indie community. Has elegant taste in films (Bergman, Allen, Trier, Almodovar, Godard, and Wong are very popular in this group), music (ranging from Joanna Newsom's Ys to Broken Social Scene, Final Fantasy, Deerhunter, Björk, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, of Montreal, Patrick Wolf, The Fiery Furnaces, electronica, and usually what is actually good, not just indie) literature (almost all are writers), art (Most are not artistically capable, but interest is undoubtedly present. Some make art, regardless of ability and skill.) etc. Often vegan or vegetarian, some European exceptions. Also, statistically either a Taurus or a Gemeni. Can speak more than one or two languages. (French and Swedish are very common; the former nearly mandatory.) Sex and the City, Skins, and Absolutely Fabulous are essential for television, as well as an ironic TV series on which Lifetime: Television for Women airs reruns. (The Golden Girls and Roseanne are most common.) They usually smoke weed and/or drink alcohol regularly. Major, gay-friendly cities will attract them; the Bay Area and Chicago are most common. Librarians in later life; known for sense of fashion.
2006 was truly a gipster's dream come true for music with such releases as The Knife's Silent Shout, Grizzly Bear's Yellow House, Owen Pallett's sophmore, and, of course, the crown jewel gipster garabe (hipster garabe)... Ys by Joanna Newsom.
