A hipster devoted to Progressive Rock and associated music. (jazz, jam, post-rock, progressive metal, etc.)

Their music may include the likes of Yes, King Crimson, Geneis, Pink Floyd or more modern bands such as Porcupine Tree or Dream Theater.

The name is a portmanteau of hipster and Robert Fripp. Fripp is the leader of the first Progressive Rock band ever: King Crimson.

Being a frippster is a paradox considering the former massive popularity of progressive rock. But since it is starting to come back into the limelight with acts such as The Mars Volta and Dream Theater, these hipsters relish saying they liked it before it was cool...
again.

Bro 1: Oh man look at that hipster over there!

Bro 2: That's not a hipster that's a frippster.

Bro 1: What's a frippster?

Bro 2: A hipster that loves prog.

Bro 1: Respects.

robert fripp

Lead guitarist for the progressive rock band King Crimson. Also an innovator of ambient music with his system called Frippertronics. This man made guitar a symphonic instrument and is sorrily un-appreciated.

That kick-ass music sounds like something Robert Fripp would play.

womp

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
