A hipster who claims to be different and reject the mainstream but they do so by copying the style of other hipsters and therefore contradicting their own philosophy of being different
"Hipster": check out my new fedora it's so not mainstream at all
Person: what are you talking about I've seen atleast 3 other hipsters whetting the same fedora today. You're such a polyhipster!

Get the Polyhipster mug.If hipsterism is a rejection of classical fashion and preppy coolness, posthipsterism is an attempt to escape the dichotomy of geeks and jocks, shaggy hair and clean cut, cheerleader and vegan, guitar playing douchebag and captain of the football team.
Posthipsterism rejects the idea of a cultural truth, that things are inherently fashionable. The posthipster knows that everything is relative, that admitting you like a blockbuster movie can be every bit as brave and original as knowing the latest underground indie flick.
The posthipster believes creativity is not limited to a certain subgroup. The posthipster does not define himself by how he is different than the mainstream, but is guided by his individual tastes; he might have a playlist that features both top 10 music and obscure bands; he will not discriminate against fast food or chain stores, nor will he attach a romantic idea to thrift shops and mom and pop places. He might enjoy football on sunday afternoon and read a novel at night. Everything is judged by its own merit, and that judgment is entirely subjective.

Posthipsterism and Poshipsterist theory suggest that culturally there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure; pretending to not like something because you're worried it's too mainstream is just hipster bullshit.

The type of kid and or lifeless adult who complains about new pokémon games being made purely for the fact that they like the original 151. When asked to defend they can't, and they don't realize that even pokémon past generation II are based off of animals as well and not all in generation I are. They are the kind of person who has no artistic talent, as they do not understand how much effort goes into designing characters (esp. creatures). They are unimaginative and obnoxious to listen to. Usually are found around 4chan.

-No.
-Would you prefer they release red/blue/yellow 15 with a different gimmick each time?
