Signature move that always seems to arise when the specific type of music plays. Its mostly those skinny ass guys wearing sunglasses/or fake smart glasses inside with scarves and too low v neck shirts making a slight guitar rock stance and clapping up high over their heads or slightly to the side, usually vigorously.
I wonder how many hipsters will be doing the hipster clap at Cinespace this Tuesday.

Get the Hipster Clap mug.
You know that hand clapping noise that is *always* included in hipster music, like their version of more cowbell? … Yeah. That one. … Best paired with an ukulele, a Rube-Goldberg machine music video, skinny jeans, sloppy t-shirts with a huge deep neckline, whiny high-pitched singing with an over-exaggerated 80s reverb, zero attempts at making oneself look pretty, and a massively overinflated sense of self-importance for the purposes of confidence overcompensation. ;)

Luckily, the fad is almost as dead now, as it still required creativity and emotions, which have died with the emergence of the succeeding generation.
Somebody playing patient, to state that he did something so shameful, it requires a visit of the hospital.
Patient: Doctor, I’ve listened to that new band, KO Og!
Friend, acting as a Doctor: You got infected with the hipster clap! We need to perform an ear washing with some industrial-strength Rammstein, stat!
