A hashbag is a cross between someone who frequently posts on social media using hashtag symbols and a douchebag. They post almost always about themselves and the content is rarely interesting. The person may suffer from low self esteem and needs their daily fill of “likes” to feel accepted in todays society. The end result isn’t that they are liked, it’s that people find their postings disgusting. Often times the person came from a large family in which the parents attention was spread among many.
Garret is such a Hashbag that he has his instagram handle stenciled on the rear window of his car for every person to admire while driving.
A person who excessively uses hash tags in everything they do. Also someone who uses hash tags that are a paragraph long.

The kind of activism undertaken when you "do something" about a problem by tweeting or posting links to Facebook, without any intent of ever actually doing something. Nothing more than a nonsense feelgood gesture so that one can say they "did something about" whatever trendy cause they're pretending to care about. Usually only lasts a week or two before the cause is completely forgotten (i.e. it stops being cool to forward/retweet on the subject).
I forwarded a video about some unspeakable atrocities in a country I didn't know existed until I watched the video. My hashtag activism is going to accomplishsomething!
