n. Someone or something (commonly a band) held in the highest regard by hipster culture.

The L train in the NYC subway system, between 14th street/8th ave and Halsey street... after Halsey street, it is just the L train, as a Hipster would never (currently, as of 2010) go past the Halsey stop.
We took the L train home late friday night, and it was the Hipster Express.
