just in response to the first definition:
A) it's Louis Vuitton...there's a "u"
B) Hipsters love Starbucks...the reason all their stuff is so expensive is because they pay their workers good wages, thus making it one of few corporate conglomerates that can be accepted by hipsters.
okay, well i guess i have to use the word "hipster" in here somewhere...

A subculture of twenty-something guys or girls that live in gentrified areas of large cities (Williamsburg, New York, Wicker Park, Chicago) who aesthetisize their life as a means of justifying their existence by shopping at thrift stores, hanging out at used book stores and listening to indie music that has not yet been picked up by the mainstream. Hipsters generally drink a lot (Pabst Blue Ribbon), smoke a lot (Parliament Lights) and usually went to college majoring in art, philosophy, or English. Recently, there has also been a trend of hipsters that pursue majors in the hard sciences.
The easiest way to spot a hipster is by the way one is dressed. A typical hipster guy will probably be wearing trendy skinny jeans made by Levi's and a tight, old t-shirt with some Chuck Taylors. Their hair ranges from medium to long and is usually a little messy and parted to the side. A typical hipster girl will also wear skinny jeans, paired with wedges or other cutesy shoes and an eighties-inspired shirt with a strategically-placed bandanna somewhere in the mix. Their hair is very cute.
While hipsters enjoy elements of the indie aesthetic like unknown bands, thrift store clothes and appreciation of art (indie films, contemporary art, beat writers of the 50's), they also can appreciate mainstream things (i.e. Justin Timberlake). However, they will usually justify their tastes by claiming to like whatever the mainstream thing is in irony.
Hipster #1: God, I love this new Justin Timberlake song!
Hipster #2: I know! It's like, hilarious because he's so ridiculous, but I can't help but listen to it over and over again!
Hipster #1: I know...can I bum a P-funk?

Someone who is hip and trendy. They constantly wear clothes that only hip people wear, thus the word hipster. Hipsters generally wear ironic/hilarious t-shirts. They listen to music and do things that non-hipsters would find weird and or look down upon. A common shirt for a hipster is the wolf shirt.
That kid Seth, with his wolf shirt, is such a hipster.

n. (1) A youngish person who, in matters of social, musical, fashionable, and professional taste, considers oneself to be "post-ironic" (i.e. believes both social practice and social commentary are equally nonsensical) while blowing off the paradox or irresolvable problem that no such thing as an ironic gesture about irony can actually exist. (2) An individual exhibiting signs of late-capitalist malaise about one's inexorable and total involvement in standard-normative fields of production and consumption.
Hipsters normally exhibit a variety of tragicomic symptoms, including: Retro fashion / Denial of identity / Embrace of outward poverty while retaining a measure of hidden affluence / Rigid standards of social, professional, and political flexibility / Joyous self-realization in sadness / Personal fulfillment in the detection of non-transcendent gestures

A pointless generalization to describe people who are more fashion-conscious and more knowledgeable about decent, independent music than you.
Examples are too mainstream. Afterall, im a hipster. Yet the irony is that I posted an example. How ironic.
