fake hipster
A person who treats hipsterdom as an image instead of a mindset. Also will usually be honest enough to admit to being a hipster, which completely goes against what true hipsters stand for (which is being "non-conformist" to a social stereotype). Other than that, they are often hard to tell between real hipsters. They typically dress like hipsters will, such as skinny jeans, lots of facial hair, and fedora hats, and listen to the same kind of music as real hipsters do. However, fake hipsters often don't have the same level of pretention as a real hipster does, and are less likely to put down others that are not like them.
Scene: Arcade Fire Wins Album of the Year at the Grammys
Fake Hipster: "Yay! I'm so happy for Arcade Fire! I hope others can see how supremely talented they are. I need to tell my friends."
An Actual Hipster: "Oh wow. Arcade Fire just sold-out, haven't they? Now everybody in college is going to like their music..."
