What's on your mug?

I define "hipsters" as poseurs who are immitating people who are actually hip, or at least who they perceive to be hip. A hip [person] typically has some degree of fashion sense, and a good example of the difference between this and a "hipster" is how a hip [person] might buy articles of clothing from the Salvation [Army] because they're cheap and/or unique, whereas a "hipster" would shop at some sort of boutique that sells exclusively fashionable vintage clothing and pay 10 times as much for more or less the same items. A hip [person] is cognitive of what styles are fashionable, and finds a style that suits his or her self, but doesn't necessarily have to be wearing exclusively non-mainstream vintage or designer articles. A hipster either copies a hip [person], the other hipsters he knows, or [whatever] he sees in "Vice" magazine. A few fashion items are always acceptible regardless of how much of a poseur you are or aren't: Chuck Taylors, black hoodies, tight [pants], etc. A hip person might look hung over or [like] they just got out of bed, but if they do, it's because they really are hung over and just got out of bed. A "hipster" might spend considerable effort faking that look by messing up their hair and intentionally wearing wrinkled clothes. A telltale sign of a hipster [douchebag] is that he or she is clearly "trying" to be fashionable. They often overaccessorize with some sort of scarf, hat, or outlandish shoes, and put a great deal of effort into making sure [everything] matches. A hip person most likely is an avid listener of music, but doesn't particularly care how others judge his or her taste. He or she might listen to anything, sometimes including things that were once, or even are currently, mainstream. A "hipster" contrives his or her music collection to be seen by others as cool and "[indie]". They [love] vinyl records. Crappy music seems cool to them as [long] as they listen to it on vinyl, and especially if it's some sort of rare recording that they can be sure no one else they know owns. If you asked a hipster whether he cared if people thought his music collection was cool, he would say "no", but he would be lying. They care. In fact, the defining trait that seperates legitimate cool people from hipster douchebags is that truly hip people genuinely don't care what other people think of them, or [maybe] acknowledge it a little bit but don't base their whole persona around it. Hipsters are obsessed with this fact, and build their entire personalities in an effort to make it look [like] they also don't care. They want, just as much as normal people, to fit in. A really hip person just naturally fits in because he or she has a likable personality and is fun to be around. All hipsters hate other hipsters and consider them to be phonies, and no hipster will ever admit to being one even if they fit all of the stereotypes.

True story: I was recently at a [thanksgiving] party where a lot of food was being served. The skinny, pale, threadbare sweater and tight [pants]-clad hipster-looking guy who had been putting on music all evening walked into the room. People weren't talking much at the time because their mouths were full, and hipster douchemaster sweater guy decided the room wasn't sociable enough for him, said "This room sucks", turned, and walked away. He could have just walked away, but he felt he had to verbally pass judgment on the room's occupants to make sure he seemed superior to them. What a [dick].

See examples. 1 ) the hipster does the beneficial thing but is too lazy to fight for other people to do the same ) 2 ) the hipster does the beneficial action but gets off at the fact that he is the unique person in a world of people who do the negative action) 3) possibly a person who finds the [definition] of words on [urbandictionary].com to be pure [ART] due to their crude/funny/common-[man] nature. ) 4 )possibly a person who types up ambiguous definitions of the term hipster ) 5 ) possibly a person who enjoys blogging in lower case letters only due to their uniqueness and the [love] of the [art] of being unique 6 ) possibly a person who uses a modern day ( 2011 ) outlet such as urbandictionary.com to admit that they are a hipster ( despite the fact that admitting you are a hipster is the biggest stigma of hipster culture ). 7 ) A person who would type such a [definition] a feel as though they have betrayed the "Underground Sophisticated Artists God of the Universe" ( the god being a metaphor for the character itself ) 8 ) One who types urbandictionary.com defintions of the term "hipster" while high on [marijuana] and while drunk off of two beers 9 ) People who know a lot and because of this act differently and SOMETIMES negatively to people who don't know the generally fun fact information they know. 10 ) They are not all mean. Some really are smart people who are willing to be nice to people because they realize that people will understand their character in a more

positive light with more respect if they act nice. 11 ) People who type urbandictionary.com definitions of the term hipster in a positive way to show people that not all young [art] students who brag a lot about having cool artsy [scene] experiences and also have artistic glory as well as knowing a library of fun facts are mean or pretentious people. People who write because their is a lacking in the modern world of the [real] unknown humble and starving artists not getting [love] because too many damn negative hipsters are competing in the world against positive hipsters. Some hipsters believe there are positive and negative hipsters. Positive hipsters don't slander the [name] of hipsters causing [society] to view them as a lazy group of people. Wait!??! Maybe people who agree with this AREN'T HIPSTERS at all?! What if we "Positive Nice Hipsters" are something entirely different? What if some of us are truly ARTIST OF BEING HUMBLE and HUMBLE ARTISTS. We will never know because [society] deams those who except that they belong to those terms are automatically deamed hipsters due to an automatic assumption that the individual probably ISN'T that great of an artist or genius. Someone who understands the [beauty] of this [definition] being an example in a way of the true lows a person can go to in terms of being a "nerdy internet blogger or bitcher" while also being an auto journal.
