Post-hipster 

What a hipsters become when they realize the negative effects of their nihilism. Sometimes comes from reading books, world travel and profound global and domestic events that demand earnestness. Sometimes comes from meeting an actual blue collar person or when they realize they're 30, broke and mom stopped sending the checks.
Hey, hipster. Your behavior just highlights your provincialism/yuppie-ness/naivete and completely contradicts the image you're trying to convey. Better work on being a post-hipster if you want to stay relevant. Here's a Filson bag, a bottle of Laphroiag, some Hemingway and a frequent flyer card.

Post-hipster 

Went to a suburban mall yesterday and it was crawling with post-hipster kids - tight jeans, ironic t-shirts and over-the-top Tats.

Post Hipster 

Those who reject the "clean cut" nature of the hipster movement. They enjoy heavy rock music with a relevant message. They keep their hair long, and buy baggy jeans. They can enjoy life, and other people, without the elitist trappings of thier forefathers. They do what they feel is right for them
Hipster: Why are you eating that? It's full of fat, and preservatives?

Post Hipster: I don't eat this all the time

post modern hipster 

A tobacco using, meat eating, fixed gear rider with tattoos who delivers food all over town and wears a hip pouch every day regardless of the occasion.

posthipsterism 

If hipsterism is a rejection of classical fashion and preppy coolness, posthipsterism is an attempt to escape the dichotomy of geeks and jocks, shaggy hair and clean cut, cheerleader and vegan, guitar playing douchebag and captain of the football team.

Posthipsterism rejects the idea of a cultural truth, that things are inherently fashionable. The posthipster knows that everything is relative, that admitting you like a blockbuster movie can be every bit as brave and original as knowing the latest underground indie flick.

The posthipster believes creativity is not limited to a certain subgroup. The posthipster does not define himself by how he is different than the mainstream, but is guided by his individual tastes; he might have a playlist that features both top 10 music and obscure bands; he will not discriminate against fast food or chain stores, nor will he attach a romantic idea to thrift shops and mom and pop places. He might enjoy football on sunday afternoon and read a novel at night. Everything is judged by its own merit, and that judgment is entirely subjective.
Posthipsterism and Poshipsterist theory suggest that culturally there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure; pretending to not like something because you're worried it's too mainstream is just hipster bullshit.
