A person, not necessarily a hipster, who participates in certain activities because they are popular at the moment.
Guy 1: Did you see Vampire Weekend at the Fillmore last night?

Guy 2: No, but I drove by and saw all the hypesters in their skinny jeans.

Hypester is like a hipster, except they also make hype. Any hipster who is seemingly well known, been on TV etc is a hypester. Hypesters often pop up on youtube videos which go viral.
Example of hypester in a chat:
Bob: Damn did you see that viral hypester video on youtube?
Jimmy: Oh that interview?

Bob: Yeah.
Jimmy: That was the best and funniest hypester interview ever!

Holy crap! Aviva is the craziest hypester I have ever seen in my entire life! Erin might be a hypester too, but there's no evidence on Facebook to suggest she is.

A person who follows public opinion, or hype, to fit in and appear culturally relevant, even if the hype goes against their interests or beliefs.
Hype: "I wanted to give him a horrible gift so I bought him Nickelback tickets."
Hypester: "Yeah I'd rather listen to nails across a blackboard before I heard one of their songs." But truly they have How You Remind Me on their personal playlist.

Hype: "I don't always listen to Nickelback, but when I do, I don't."
Person: "Yeah that stuff is the lamest, I will never listen to them even there was a gun to my head." But they listened to them on the radio earlier and jammed out.
