Originally intended to be a word to describe individuals with "alternative" (as opposed to "mainstream") tastes in art and culture (and they explicitly suggest it by the way they dress etc) . However the modern adaptation of it is used very liberally. Two individuals can be each other's "hipster" if they have opposite tastes in art and culture. It is also used as a retaliation against less known art which have fan following from art critics by some people who can't relate to it.
I read a review of an album on some well known website or magazine. It has great reception. I listen to that album for myself but I don't really enjoy it. But I feel paranoid that so many other love it. Thus I declare these people as "hipsters" so I can feel that I have superior taste in music.

Get the Certified Hipstermug. A person who dresses in a street-wise manner as a means of hiding their inner desire to be a hippie.
See that Hipster Swaglord over there with the Dr Dre Beats, Nike Dunks and Beanie, I bet they're listening to Neutral Milk Hotel.

Get the Hipster Swaglordmug. Noun: Someone who drinks shitty beer and listens to shitty music while wearing mismatched clothes. All the while trying to be different they all look exactly alike. They are the most harmful when traveling in groups, or "hoards". Hipsters can catch unsuspecting victims off guard by their sheer numbers and intense pretentious snobbery. Alone hipsters are harmless and weak but in large groups they can turn even the nicest hang outs into cesspools.

Get the Hipstermug. A "hipster" is a person, mostly a Millennial, who is trying to hold on to the small-town suburban life that they experienced whilst in college, doing so while living in an urban setting. A group of individuals using trappings of suburban / rural living, from bicycles to thift shop clothing to beards and more, in an attempt to stake a claim as an "counter culture".
A group looked upon with suspicion by others due to, what is perceived, as being somewhat disingenuous as their lifestyle does not fit in with their actual choice of living environment. A hipster moved voluntarily into an urban area yet attempts to change the community into a mirror of the smaller, suburban / rural, somewhat artsy living zone that they left after college yet became accustomed to whilst attending.
An individual living in an enclave of people who fall under the classification in order to associate themselves with the lifestyle / movement / feeling.
A group seeking to maintain their earlier life of small town college experience and anti-establilshment statements in their later years. A person using facades taken from varied sources such as outdoorsman to artster to grunge, in an attempt to create a sense of original individualism around themselves.

You want to go to the hipster area and get some sliders at one of those pubs?
That hat is very hipster, you'll just need to grow out the beard.
I'm trying to find an apartment around Williamsburg, it's great there! Love all the hipster feel, really cool.
Is this sweater too hipster?
That bike is so hipster, does anyone else even want to buy it?

Get the Hipstermug. Repetitive.
Anyone claiming to be "a hipster" that thinks there is a difference between a hipster and a douche as if there's anything to love about hipsters. Or douches.
