Get the Hipster Aesthetic mug.An individual that tries really hard to be a hipster. Some succeed and become a real or true hipster and some... not so much. These are the individuals in the hipster culture that are "too cool" to do stuff or have the "too good for you" mentality. They are often the trend followers in the hipster culture but still is considered a trend starter by many, especially in the non-hipster society(real world).

wannabe hipster: oh... well i guess so.

An individual who tries to go against mainstream lifestyles, and favors the ideals of non-conformity, yet conforms to other hipsters around him-her. Typically, new age hipsters view themselves as artistic and often times sport "thrift store chique". if you would like to find a new age hipster, go to artistic neighborhoods in major cities, such as Williamsburg in Brooklyn. When looking for a fine specimen of new age hipster in Williamsburg, look not at the orthodox Jews, but the bohemia who are all wearing thick non-perscription glasses, and American Apparel wear that they say they bought at a thrift store. Hipsters used to be seen as cool, but are quickly losing reputation as new kids come into this scene who have an art history degrees and live off of their parents wealth.

Get the hipster mug.When one gives off the impression off being interesting, artisitic, cosmopolitan, progressive, different and witty but really it is a victory of style over substance. They dress in the highest of indepdendent fashions, they ooze this abstract indepedence and trendiness. They are generally aesthetically-pleasing but as soon as you spark a conversation with one of them you soon realise it is all a facade to cover up the lack of personality, wit, creativity or intelligence. These are the pretentious middle-class imposters who flock to inner-cities because they think they will fit in.
Two guys are in a bar in Camden, they see a possible Hipster in the corner sipping her ice-tea and reading the latest copy of the Big Issue. One decides to walk over to her
Guy: Hey, can I just say your aura is enchanting!
Faux-Hipster Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh....
Guy walks off disappointed. He sees his freind
Guy 2: How did it go?
Guy: Just another Faux-Hipster..

Get the Faux-Hipster mug.A hipster that tries to have a dark, gloomy appearance as a fad, usually identifiable by an overweight shape, wearing flannel with an emo frizz and typical hipster way of talking. Will tell you about bands from local colleges you'd probably never heard of nor gived a shit because of its cliche sound and will think they are better than you if you are not part of their hipster group.
Junior 1:"Hey those jocks are beating the shit out of that emo kid"
Junior 2:"Don't worry, its that same hipster who said we listen to gay, garbage mainstream music"
Junior 1:"Oh yeah, that's worse, to hell with emo hipsters"

Get the emo hipster mug.Human beings incapable of critical thinking. They think they are different than the rest of society, yet they are all the same. They dress the same, and think the same. They think they are unique individuals who express it through art, but they all have no talent and make stuff that 5 year olds can make. They say us normal joes are sheeple, but the truth is they are the real sheeple.
Hipsters enjoy telling others how different they are from other hipsters. For example: "oh those guys aren't real punk, they are trust fund punk assholes and aren't working class. Damn hipsters!" They also like pretending they are poor as stated in my quote.
They don't like their parents because living in a nice suburbs is bad to them, and having lots of money isn't fun. They are the main cause of gentrification. They think they're progressive and open minded. They want to show how progressive and open minded they are by going into poor neighborhoods and running the poor people out of there. They end up driving the poor folks out of there, and they'll laugh about it because it's ironic.
I pray to God (the one of the judeo-christian tradition you hipsters hate) that the hipster plague will be over soon. Perform performance art on them by getting a post-punk-egyptian-emo CD, cut them up with it, and beat them with those thick noam chomsky books. They'll like it because it's ironic.
If you want your kids to not be hipsters, make sure to beat them when they need to, make sure they major in science, business or math, and make sure they don't take pseudo-intellectual classes like "history of postmodernism." Make sure they never learn the word "postmodern" either.
Also, be cheap! When they graduate, make sure you tell them you aren't supporting their asses. You aren't paying 6 figures for rent for a 2x2 sized room that's rotting in San Francisco or NYC. Make sure to tell them how kids in Africa are starving and are the ones who are REALLY suffering, and tell them starving artists aren't suffering at all. Tell them to love America because other places in the world are suffering more than Americans are. Be sure to tell them Europe and Canada suck (they will threaten to move there if you tell them they can't go to an Emo Death Indie band concert) and that there's racism there among other issues, and it isn't a utopia because of it. Make sure to tell them how superior American Football is to hockey and soccer.
Hipsters will give me a thumbs down for this definition. I know you will, be ironic and give this definition a thumbs up!
Note: I can't prove it, but I will try to donate $1 to the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul, an organization that helps real poor people world wide (not fake poor people like hipsters), and because it's a Christian organization, hipsters will likely hate it. Please note, event though I hate hipsters, I am accepting (not tolerant!) of different view points. Except hipsterism. Fight hipsters and poverty by giving this definition a thumbs up!
Ok I lied. As much as I'd like to help the poor, I need to pay for food. So I can't donate to them. But I know I made some hipsters squirm, and for that I am happy. I can just look at your face, thinking to yourself "should i give this definition a thumbs up? I hate Christians, but I love poor people. I also love irony!"
