lovely people who try to be different by listening to unique music and wearing obscure clothing usually found at a thrift store. they somehow pull of a in style look by wearing really old clothes they got for next to nothing. very artsy. obcessed with the past, and anything 'vintage'
non-hipster: holy shit thats a cool shirt! can i get the exact same one at kohls for twenty bucks?
hipster: no, actually u cant. i got it at a thrift store in south west DC for two dollars. its twenty years old, so you probably cant find another one. ever. .......conformist

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.

It's like a mix of Yuppie, emo, hippy, indie and beatnik which all share that smug liberal elitist attitude. Hipsters just tend to have a slightly better fashion sense imo. A 90's nostalgia thing of mine I guess.
The association with progressive politics can be seen in their inflated ego and low self-esteem as their suppressed social and tribal instincts are manifested in what they think is a nonchalant manner but is actually seen by outsiders for what it is.
That hipster stole my bi-cycle glove!

person: what's your favorite band?
hipster: I would tell you, but you wouldn't know them.
person: oh. my favorite band is AFI
hipster: AFI?!?!?! THAT'S MAINSTREAM!

Not all hipsters are jerks. Not all hipsters are hypocrites or bad people.
Some generally are nice, social, and want to get to know you.
The ideal hipster is intelligent and craves knowledge.
He looks passed steotypes and conformity and styles himself in his own way of liking. The ideal hipster is equally willing or unwilling to hang out with new people. As with anyone else once you get to know a person.
They all have different points of view and are passionate to defend it and/or prevent anyone else from degrading or demoralizing it.
They all may have diverse passions and hobbies and likings.
They may be bold and determined and proud, although these adjectives may apply to anyone.
But above all, a hipster will follow is own heart and understanding.
Also: I don't know why there is a term for this type of person but all I know is that "hipsters" don't all do it to be cool or for your "approval", but to express and appreciate themselves for who they are. They should look passed your body image and do the same for you.
We like to make you turn heads. ;)
You: Dude, what a f***king hipster. Look at her. She thinks she's all that. Wait, a minute. I should check up TheMusicZealot's definition first. Maybe I can better understand her individuality and try to appreciate and be inspired by her diversity of interests.
