Someone who is hip and trendy. They constantly wear clothes that only hip people wear, thus the word hipster. Hipsters generally wear ironic/hilarious t-shirts. They listen to music and do things that non-hipsters would find weird and or look down upon. A common shirt for a hipster is the wolf shirt.
That kid Seth, with his wolf shirt, is such a hipster.

n. (1) A youngish person who, in matters of social, musical, fashionable, and professional taste, considers oneself to be "post-ironic" (i.e. believes both social practice and social commentary are equally nonsensical) while blowing off the paradox or irresolvable problem that no such thing as an ironic gesture about irony can actually exist. (2) An individual exhibiting signs of late-capitalist malaise about one's inexorable and total involvement in standard-normative fields of production and consumption.
Hipsters normally exhibit a variety of tragicomic symptoms, including: Retro fashion / Denial of identity / Embrace of outward poverty while retaining a measure of hidden affluence / Rigid standards of social, professional, and political flexibility / Joyous self-realization in sadness / Personal fulfillment in the detection of non-transcendent gestures

Senioritic persons who are extremely cool and do not conform to society.
Soup: Aren't hipsters just old people who do things that are cool like explosions? Tall One: Yes, YES THEY ARE AND I WILL BE ONE. Hipster riding a pink motorcycle. Hot.

A pointless generalization to describe people who are more fashion-conscious and more knowledgeable about decent, independent music than you.
Examples are too mainstream. Afterall, im a hipster. Yet the irony is that I posted an example. How ironic.

A pretentious person who thinks s/he is cultured and often superior to others simply because s/he listens to indie music, watches art films, and drinks overly expensive coffee at coffee houses that are often crowded with other hipsters. Most often they possess an economically worthless degree in something like philosophy, liberal arts, or history that they earned at a junior college or satellite university. They waste most of their disposable income on albums, cigarettes, and/or going to crappy shows. They often follow issues surrounding liberal topics and are typically very liberal themselves, often to the point of being very narrow-minded (though they think they're the most open-minded people). They delude themselves to the point of thinking they're more refined than everyone else when they're really just pseudo-intellectuals who need to stop wearing used clothing and take showers more often.
That hipster in my creative writing class always criticizes my poems. That $6 coffee he gets every morning must be rotting his brain.
