Many things throughout history and in our daily lives have been at one point influenced by hipster manipulation one way or another. Be it laws that have come into effect or lies we are told by those in power so people will believe they are true.
When the media and news outlets try to sensationalise a fad, before most people have even heard of it. News outlets will sometimes use hipster manipulation to try and start a fad by falsly claiming that everyone is doing it. It's like a form of peer pressure when someone makes the broad generalisation that all of the kids are doing it.
Some news outlets have been known to create fake news stories in order to claim that they were the first to report on it.
Many times in order to get a viral trend started, a person or company will try to create the illusion that everyone who has not yet heard about it is late to the party.
Many companies and industries will lobby for changes to manipulate the publics view on things or what becomes into law. As a dishonest way of making profits.

Someone who lies through their teeth to get their way, but they have no foresight whatsoever to see the end results of their actions. Essentially, they brainwash people into obeying them without hesitation, then use said people to ruin their own life without realizing it.
My congressman tricked congress into passing a bill that legalized having religious books in schools. Now they're panicking that other religious people are also putting their books in schools. What a manipulative fool.
The act of self-sicking
I do not know how to use manipulation in a sentence, the belief in that before you is definition itself for used it is.

You should be ashamed. I'm disappointed.
