a wannabe indie. a hipster is the asshole version of an indie person who cares about fashion and looking "cool".
1: "hey isn't sally indie?" 2: "no, she wishes. she's a stuck up bitch who thinks she's better than everyone else because she likes fashion and photography. im sorry to say, but she's just another hipster." 1: "isn't that similar to an indie person?" 2: "yes, but indie people don't care what they look like to other people, that's why they are independent."

Douche who misunderstands the concept of irony. Often self-righteous, and thinks he/she are cooler than and have a special knowledge above everyone else. Drink PBR for reasons other than the taste. Don't realize that when the counter culture became the main stream culture (in the 60s), being part of the counter culture makes them part of mainstream culture.
"You wouldn't understand, it's a hipster thing." "Oh no, I understand. You're a heterofag that thinks they're better than anyone who doesn't share your exact beliefs."

n. adj. from the English "hip" meaning too cool for public school. Anyone beneath the age of 40 who gives a shit about Brian Eno, David Bowie, and Jorge Luis Borges. Typically majors in English, Visual Arts, or Film Studies. Wouldn't be caught dead wearing any shoe other than Vans or Chuck Taylors. Considers local bands no one's ever heard of more important than food and shelter. Considers moving from the suburbs to a former ghetto a justified version of "white flight". Can be seen in abundance in Portland, Oregon and Williamsburg, Brooklyn; and to a lesser extent Austin, Texas and Athens, Georgia.
I used to like The Flaming Lips, but my HIPSTER friend suggested that Cat Power was more my speed.

Since it seemed you didn't know the proper definition and terms of the word "Hipster" and looked it up and not have the balls to show that you are not as smart as you seem, I shall increase your knowledge to maximum fold by the tenth power by thoroughly explaining in great detail on what a Hipster is, how you can succeed at being a Hipster, and if you have the Asshole-like qualities to be one. :) \hip-stur\n. One who possesses tastes, social attitudes, and opinions deemed cool by the cool. (Note: it is no longer recommended that one use the term "cool") The Hipster walks among the masses in daily life but is not a part of them and shuns or reduces to kitsch anything held dear by the mainstream. Typically a Hipster can be identified by vintage or thrift-store bought clothing, a taste for obscure or underground music, a penchant for irony and an elitist attitude. Use a great deal of sarcasm, claim to be ironic. Listen to Indie Rock, or anything else non-mainstream. Tend to troll, but only when necessary. Enjoys eating various kids cereal(such as Kix, Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebels). Drinks coffee,tea, and the occasional energy drink; enjoys all three beverages vigorously. Uses enormous words to seem smarter and more hipster-like. Often times mistaken for being Indie or Scene.
•A hipster will read this, realize it's true, and love it because it's ironic. •Q: how many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: What, you don't know? •Look At This Hipster give various good examples of Hipster kids.

Someone who mimics the incoming trends, and immediately ditches anything that might have been cool two minutes ago. Hipster is the new Bum on the Street look, includes k-mart shoes, moccasins,cardigans,and anything else you can find at a thrift shop. Mob top haircuts. Claims to listen to 80's new wave or indie bands. And Extremely pretentious with their music taste.
yourscenesucks.com with more gaudy accessories than a williamsburg thrift store, this gal uses her daddy's credit card to stay hip! she is an art school dropout and has no intention of furthering her education. rather, she aspires to become a hairdresser one day; beauty school, here she comes! please note: this will not actually happen. her taste in music taste changes based upon what's being spun at whatever club is trendy that week. dance music is her absolute fave, but her friends have no idea about her checkered past. once a ska queen, she now works as hard as she can to preserve her fashionable hipster image by mimicking the incoming trends, and immediately ditches anything that might have been cool two minutes ago. this behavior prevents her from forming any individual identity whatsoever. she aspires to work in the fashion industry, and she will- folding clothes at old navy for the rest of her life.
