hipster

A person, usually in their early to mid twenties, who has what they think is good taste. They read literature about drug use and depression, listen to music that nobody has heard of and think of themselves as beat poets. They wear their jeans too tight and carry around moleskine journals. They write (usually shitty) poetry or engage in some kind of (failing) art form. They pretend to value intellect more than most things, but often are extremely stupid. They complain about society. They like everything that is slightly subversive, like dressing in drag, smoking pot, or grafitti. Anything that requires a real risk, however, is not worth doing. They pretend to care about the environment, but litter. They smoke a lot. They curse a lot. They say they'd like to drop out of college and become a hermit in the mountains, but never do. They pretend to be alienated, but actually fit in so well it's disgusting.
