Holpster

A holistic flavor of hipster; one who seeks out the full experience or knowledge of something in all of its nuance, not only for the sake of having it, but also for developing a more complete understanding of the world. A holpster lacks the self-declaratory proclivities of their 'Hip' counterparts, usually have a much less defined sense of fashion, and a wider taste in music.

From this understanding arises a subsequent impulse away from the "best" or most enjoyable options in low-stakes scenarios as holpsters tend to believe a breadth of experience is more important and enriching than what will give the most short-term gain.
Joe: "Why does Ed order other things on the sushi menu when the lobster roll is so clearly the best?"
Steve: "I guess he must be a holpster."

Stu: " Amanda is such a holpster. Look at her reading the entire Wikipedia page on Sumo Wrestling. Why is she doing that?"
