A person who believes (1) they are too unique to exist, and (2) they are not a hipster, or (3) they are a hipster, but only because of the irony.
Detests Corporate America, except when it benefits them., eg., their Ebay vintage store, or their collection of iProducts used to update their EBay vintage store. Loves and/or hates bands you will never hear of. Lives in, or wants to move to, an urban conclave of hipsters, even though, when asked, that's NOT where they live or want to live.
Feels that the majority of everything in society sucks, except for their world view, which is actually nothing more than their self-created narcissistic oasis, and which consists primarily of their obsession with their genitals/libido, and other hipsters they let in their club.
Very similar to pre-pubescent Goths and Indies, but older, and with better self esteem and different fashion. Is basically unattractive, yet maintains the hipster mystique because it somehow gets them just enough random sex to maintain the hipster mystique. Does/doesn't click to review this definition because of the irony.
"OK fine, I AM a hipster, but only because it's mainstream to say I'm NOT and definitions are just labels that society puts on reality", grabs iPad, storms out of fair market vegan taquito joint, lights an American Spirit, and rides fake vintage cruiser home to loft above indie used bookstore in the Mission.

works at Jamba Juice or Starbucks.
also.
any idiot that listens to TERRIBLE indie music because it is SOOOO underground and deep/ artsy. Arcade Fire, Stock Market Crash, Black Tie Dynasty etc.. (every song will be identical to the last)
attire includes old man clothes. ex: cardigans when clearly said hipster is NOT Mr. Rogers or a girl. stupid fucking fedora hat when hipster is NOT Frank Sinatra. and any article of clothing from a bum or thrift store. similar to grunge kids and equally as retarded. just an all around dipshit. Hate away.
Normal person: cool hat D-bag.
hipster: i bought it with mommy and daddy's money from a corporation that i constantly bitch about. i'm off to take a shit in my clothes because i heard it's the in thing to.. *BANG*
Normal person: That's right bitch.

Skinny white people, with less than 1% body fat.
They are basically teenagers rebelling in everything their parents taught them (whether true or not) that go against everything mainstream.
Usually only shop at thrift stores like Salvation Army. Wear cut off skinny jeans, tight shirts of bands usually, and hemp vans.
Only listen to bands you have NEVER heard of and never will. Usually go to shows with these bands or something of that nature.
Usually vegan, as its anti mainstream, and tout how being vegan is the right thing to do because animals are 'sentient beings'.
Found in mostly bigger cities, but have blossoms in smaller cities.
Don't believe in God or anything of that nature.
Ride bikes.
They believe everyone who is mainstream (people that listen to good music, eats meat, and believes in God in some fashion) are stupid conformists who care only for themselves and nothing else.
Hate America because of its evil meat industry and culture (when in reality they hate most everything and say everything sucks, wouldn't matter if they lived in Europe)
Around the ages of 16-late 20's because by 30 they have kids and realize they are jackasses and 98% of the world find them annoying.
All in all, hipster is a new word meaning modern day hippie. And we all know hippies all faded away after a decade.
Also deny that they are hipsters.
Hey, look at that hipster!
You mean the fag in the cut off skinny jeans smoking a ciggy?

Look kids, that hipster girl is wearing Tootsie glasses, bangs, and a mid-thigh sweater from the 1980's, and she's riding a one-speed bike with two flat tires - isn't she interesting?

fist magnet . a person of low character that stands for nothing.the most unimportant counter culture cliche to exist in one hundred years. gaunt overly obsessed with creating the illusion of social awareness while in actuality concerned with nothing. usually can be seen in the parts of town where pseudo artists congregate. watch for veganism and che tshirts. also a large concentration of poorly constructed one speed bikes being ridden by people with no cadence skills. under nourished and pale hard to differentiate the difference between the females and males of this subculture.
usually one knows they are in the presence of a hipster when they are around someone using really large words but unable to say anything at all. bad odors due to the fashion statement being made by not bathing are also present. horrific music being played and the allusion to the fact you are not smart enough to get it. also watch for tshirts being worn of defunct bands like joy division. worship of ian curtis and nico also a common factor. over use of the word amazing.
