Your Definition

A subculture of twenty-something guys or girls that live in gentrified areas of large cities ([Williamsburg], New York, Wicker Park, Chicago) who [aesthetisize] their life as a means of justifying their existence by shopping at thrift stores, hanging out at used book stores and listening to indie music that has not yet been picked up by the mainstream.  Hipsters generally drink a lot (Pabst Blue Ribbon), smoke a lot (Parliament Lights) and usually went to college majoring in art, philosophy, or English.  Recently, there has also been a trend of hipsters that pursue majors in the hard sciences.

The easiest way to spot a hipster is by the way [one is] dressed.  A typical hipster guy will probably be wearing trendy skinny jeans made by Levi's and a tight, old t-shirt with some Chuck Taylors.  Their hair ranges from medium to long and is usually a little messy and parted to the side.  A typical hipster girl will also wear skinny jeans, paired with wedges or other cutesy shoes and an eighties-inspired shirt with a strategically-placed bandanna somewhere in the mix.  Their hair is very cute.

While hipsters enjoy elements of the indie aesthetic like unknown bands, thrift store clothes and appreciation of art (indie films, [contemporary art], beat writers of the 50's), they also can appreciate mainstream things (i.e. [Justin Timberlake]).  However, they will usually justify their tastes by claiming to like whatever the mainstream thing is in irony.
