Someone who wears certain brands of clothing or footwear because it's "hyped". Hypebeasts are often bi-sexual, though they will never admit it.

A stuck-up, self-centered young person who only wears hyped up streetwear brands including Stussy, Crooks & Castles, Orisue ect. Hypebeasts are often sneakerheads with a generic sense of style that often entails wearing neon colored sb dunks paired with new era fitted hats and god awful all over print hoodies and jeans so tight that they cut off the wearer's circulation to the brain. Hypebeast fashion sense is loosely based on the classic urban fashion sense of the 90s & 80s. But these hipster streetwear kids always O.D. on retro style. How are you gonna be born in 1991, and dress like you are a teenager in 1984? Most hypebeasts get their carbon-copied style from magazines like Complex and online forums dedicated to such streetwear.

Hypebeasts usually live in and around the urban centers of Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City and D.C. However, many cities across the country including Baltimore, Philly and the rougher boroughs of NYC (i.e. Brooklyn) maintain their distinct local urban style which differs greatly from the semi-homosexual hypebeast style. Since many hypebeasts hail from soft, posh suburban environments, they would probably get stomped the fuck out by twenty different pairs of Timberland boots and Air force 1's if they dare tread in the ghettos of such cities.

Although hypebeasts come from all different racial backgrounds, more often then not, most hypebeasts are Filipino or some other type of Asian because most of the hypebeast fashion brands were founded by Asians from California (i.e. Crooks & Castles, The Hundreds and LRG). This is a very recent social phenomenon because back in the 90s, urban fashion was usually strictly worn by blacks, latinos and certain whites who actually lived in urban areas.
Those hypebeast kids sitting at that table over there think their the shit. But their style is so homo. All of those short pussy mawfuckers would get beat the fuck up if they took a trip to say ... North Philly, Jamaica, Queens, West Baltimore or anywhere that was a real ghetto.

Everyone is a hypebeast. You wear the clothes you wear becasue you think someone will notice it, and think it is nice. And that itself will determine what you think is nice. Everyone including me, the person writing this definition, is a hypebeast.
1) I am a hypebeast.

2) You are a hypebeast.

People who follows trends!

Nigga everyone is a hypebeast! so STFU. Everything is hyped, if you dont skate and you wear Nike SB then you are truly a hypebeast! SB stands for SkateBoarding not Stupid Bitches! Everyone's trying to learn how to skate so they can look "cool" and impress the ladies. Skating is a hobby not something you do to show off.. Stussy is a clothing brand, of course its gonna be hyped up because its the new next thing just like 10 deep, the hundreds. You try to dress up like a skater, but you cant even skate!

So for all the people who call other people a hypebeast, loook at yourself too dumb fucks!

your style is original, KEEP IT!
ayyo look at that hypebeast rocking those "what the dunks" nike sb.
