Hipsteria 

The sensation a person experiences upon realizing that they are surrounded by hipsters and may have become one them self. Generally this takes place in a setting which would, according to stereotype, be thought of as a popular place for hipsters to congregate. May be accompanied by visual and auditory hallucinations of flannel patterns and and pseudo-intellectual background conversation.
Upon realizing that he was holding a PBR tallboy at a Broken Social Scene Concert, Jack began to experience waves of severe hipsteria.

pretension of hipsters 

Like an ostentation of peacocks, a murder of crows, or a parliament of owls, a pretension of hipsters is a simple and elegant term for a grouping of one of the more annoying self-referential and self-satisfied demographics in the history of demographics. Pretensions of hipsters can be found combing through old record stores in search of vinyl, hitting cool overpriced urban thrift stores, hanging for hours at local coffee shops, and, either performing in, or standing in line to listen to, a band of other hipsters with unfortunate facial hair, playing quasi-folky/blue grass inspired, unidentifiable something or other. There will be a banjo player.

Although pretensions of hipsters set up residence in cool and edgy neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and San Francisco's Mission District, where they can be spotted unabashedly overstating their cultural significance, they will have most likely arrived, trust funds in tow, during the second or third wave of gentrification, well after the hard-core artists have done the difficult work of staking out a claim in a relatively inexpensive if shady neighborhood, with no coffee shops, just delis and bodegas, with burnt coffee to go.
"Look honey, a pretension of hipsters just arrived in our neighborhood."
"Glad I didn't throw out my stove pipe hat."

aging hipsters 

Kraftwerk-listening, craft beer-drinking poseurs of a certain age. They dress their toddlers in Ramones t-shirts and jam their middle-aged spread into low-rise skinny jeans.
Those aging hipsters were complaining about the noise at last night's hardcore show.

Hipsterist 

A proponent of hipsterism. The hipsterist is on a constant quest to find the most peculiar, cool, ugly, or avante-garde items on the face of the earth. To do so, they are willing to spend any amount of money, for they define themselves by what they consume, not by who they are.
Darren the hipsterist owns every LP ever released by Interpol. And they're all signed copies. Imports. Even the remixes.
