What's on your mug?

the whole subculture is at best a misguided resignation to irony and at worst a conscious attempt at absurdist elitism.

That hipster over there is laughing for all the wrong reasons at Blazing Saddles.

A person who deliberately uses unpopular, obsolete, or obscure styles and preferences in an attempt to be "cooler" than the mainstream

Normal person: "This thing is popular and conventional, liking it means I'm in synch with everyone else, which makes me feel well surrounded and part of the good crowd" Hipster: "This thing is special and unconventional and different from what everyone else likes, embracing it makes me feel rare and unique and part of the good crowd"

Hipster: A present day hipster is generally a melodramatic teen that considers himself to be unique. A hipster will occasionally denies him or herself to be a hipster simply to ensure other people consider them to be hipsters. They usually attempt to listen to bands that were once "indie" but now are mainstream. Many hipsters will wear stupid glasses they don't need and occasionally act very emotional on the basis of nothing. A hipsters world is based on proving to others that they're a hipster.

Wow Jared is such a hipster because he wears clothes that clash themselves and listens to the underground band vampire weekend. He is so deep.

most of them are fag-bags. hipsters are a modern category of people ranging from teens to young adults. they have a very "hip" sense of style (obviously) which includes scarves, fedoras, tight pants, plaid shirts, and oxfords, generally. some can have an image of goth, or emo, but on a less harsh scale.
