Simply put, a dirtster is a hipster who's just dirty. Hipsters are carefully put together as to look like they just woke up and suddenly looked this cool. Dirtsters are subtly different. They did just wake up and, unlike the hipster, just put on their only pair of pants.

They are known for drinking cheap beer, smoking cigarettes that have already been half smoked, dumpster diving, asking "are you going to eat that?", and smelling just a bit funky. In a dimly lit, well ventilated environment, the hipster and the dirtster are almost impossible to differentiate. Careful attention to behavior, however, will revile their true identity.
If you are a bartender:

The Hipster orders a local micro-brew. A dirtster orders Lionshead, PBR or whatever is the cheapest beer.

If you are dating one:

Hipster has an iPhone, a small garden in the back of their studio, listens to NPR and buys you vinyl and vintage clothing.

Dirtster has an old iPod they 'found', lives with at least 5 other people, and buys you items from salvation army stores.

Like a hipster: skinny, from the suburbs, college radio gone indie record intern, in the know, tragic asymmetrical hair, semi hidden tattoos, knows the bartender, sleeps all day, eats sandwiches, lives in Williamsburg - NYC, loves the "L", rich parents that care.

Has name like: "Elliot"

The Dirtster takes it to another level, anemic, from the country (can shoot a gun), doesn't know shit and brags about not knowing, doesn't work, tragic non-sensical mess of a 'do, tattoos all over, sometime doorman, doesn't sleep at all (drugs), doesn't eat, lives in Bushwick, rides beat to shit dirt (ha) bike from swap meet, really rich parent that hate them.

has name like: "Cain"

Dirtster = trusta-hipster = ex-trustafarian
Wow! there's tons of dirtsters (in the LES from Bushwick) today rockin the pencil leg jeans, booger filled shirts, gucci baseball hats and nike MJ 111's bought off ebay.

A Dirtster is a Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycle customized for dual-sport riding (on paved and unpaved roads).

The original inspiration for this style of custom motorcycle was probably Harley Davidson's XR750 dirt track racing motorcycle. Dirt track racing is like oval stock car racing... with motorcycles... on dirt.

That said, the typical dirtster usually looks not at all like an XR750. Dual sport motorcycles that do look like XR750s are known as street trackers.
When I do a web search for dirtster images, I get a lot of pictures of Sportsters with dirt track tires, and not many images of dirty hipsters. What's that all about?

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
