Hipster Thanksgiving

Annual celebration held the Friday before the US Thanksgiving. Typical food and drink include turkey cooked in any fashion that does away with the oven, side dishes served in thrift store crockery, and low price craft beer. Festivities include music played by any instrument as long as it is accompanied by an individual playing an instrument fashioned from a recycled container (jug, coffee can, etc.).

The origin of the holiday is thought to be an accommodation of college students, who comprise a large portion of the hipster population, such that they could celebrate together before returning to their mainstream families during the ensuing weeklong semester break.
Joe: "What are you doing with that oil drum?"
Ralph: "I'm using it to deep fry the Hipster Thanksgiving bird. Then I'll repurpose it into a steel drum for the evening's music, so that I'm not wasting earth's resources buying mass produced percussive instruments"

Hipster Premium

The stupidly ridiculous price you pay on top of the regular retail product or service price when in a Hipster store.
"Wow. I really feel the sting of the Hipster Premium when I get my beard trimmed in a barber shop that looks like it's straight from the Victorian era."

Hipster-itis

1. The inexplicable desire to act like a hipster. Symptoms include wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarers, listening to Sufjan Stevens, and/or refusing to buy anything "mainstream."
It became clear Courtney had contracted Hipster-itis when she decided to move to Seattle to pursue a career in graphic design.

hipster stream

The stream of urine that comes from the hole created by a Prince Albert piercing. The hipster stream refuses to follow the main stream of urine, thus refusing to conform to the urinal main stream, both literally and figuratively.
My hipster stream thinks wet pants are trendy so it keeps dribbling on them.

Hipster Mystic

Hipster mystics seek the ancient wisdom and disdain the teachings for the masses; they are into the secret and old-school. They believe that the experience of mystical ascent and sublime insight is ineffable, and their groups teach of a need for silence on the matter, so they are very esoteric. They are unimpressed by people's possessions and self-centered accomplishments, which comes off as condescension. Their spiritual journey and wisdom has brought them serenity and confidence, which is viewed as an air of being too-cool-for-school. They are uninterested in the latest styles and they dress however they want, so counter intuitively, they are highly stylish.

When a mystic embodies these qualities they are the ultimate hipster: the Hipster Mystic
Guy in a pub: What do your tattoos mean?
Hipster mystic: You wouldn't understand.

Stylish woman: Where did you get that shirt?
Hipster mystic: The dumpster.
Stylish woman: Cool.

Scientist: Recent studies have demonstrated that we live in a fractal universe.
Hipster mystic: Heraclitus said that 2,500 years ago.

Colleague: What are you doing today?
Hipster mystic: Going to the Hermetic Library to review an alchemical treatise.
Colleague: Oh... okay.....

Christian: Do you believe in Jesus?
Hipster mystic: No, but I do believe in Christ the Logos. He was way before Jesus.

Hipster expensive

(adj) Being more expensive than such an item really should be, often with a seemingly arbitrary price
That soup place downtown is so hipster expensive! It's $5.35 for a bowl of soup- how the hell did they come up with that for a price?

hipster wannabe

Someone who identifies as a hipster.

Calling oneself a hipster completely goes against the purpose of being one. A wannabe hipster also probably does not know anything about the indie kid movement during the 2000s, which is what the 30+ year old hipsters of the 2010s became.

Also, a hipster wannabe follows out-dated hipster trends such as listening to Arctic Monkeys, Fleet Foxes, Kaspian, Halsey, Marina and the Diamonds and The Blockheads, riding a fixie, shopping at American Apparel and Urban Outfitters. As such things have become part of the mainstream now. Hipster "clothing" is mainstream and trendy now. You are not a hipster.

Being a hipster would be being scene because it's unpopular and dead.

Just Blame Tumblr. For Everything.
He called himself a hipster, which automatically made him not one, fucking hipster wannabe.
