Someone too ironic for their own good.
1. Hipsters think Bon Jovi from the 80's is so awesome.
3. Hipster: "Oh my God! I just love these butt ugly pink sunglasses!"
4. Hipster: "Let's all go play kickball, and wear short shorts and headbands!"

one who listens to indie music, has good taste, and delves in ironic snobbery.

Grew up in generic suburbia, USA, and now lives in Brooklyn. Spends hours making hair and clothing look like they just rolled out of bed after an all-night bender.
Let me guess, that hipster over there is from Wisconsin and now lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

An insufferable, pseudo-intellectual twerp who defines his identity mainly through allusions to, and alleged knowledge of, obscure popular culture, often of the ephemeral variety. This urban poser advertises this identity via vintage clothing, thick-rimmed glasses, and ironically or iconically decalled t-shirts, oblivious to the concept that his conformity to a predefined template for appearance undermines and contradicts his attempt to be an independent thinker. He exibits a strong narcissism in the form of his constant hunt for attention and self affirmation via online social networks and communications technologies, through which he believes he is channeling relevant, interesting, and enlightening information, but which he usually employs to boost his hipster cred by making obscure references, parroting Internet memes, and generally proclaiming the superiority of his tastes. In quiet desperation, however, the hipster is racked with anxiety, as he is constantly driven by a desire to be "in on the joke" - the concept that other hipsters may be enjoying something of which he is cluelessly unaware, that he may not understand the disposable 90's movie reference which sent his peers into a titter, is anathema to this self-satisfied but inherently insecure social animal.
Mark cursed softly as the hipster in the aisle paused next to him to stow his Apple-logo messenger bag in the overhead bin. The Banana Splits t-shirt at eye-level and the thick, horn-rimmed glasses looking down at him told him that he was going to be in for a long flight filled with tedious conversations about the power of social media to help the unemployed take the country back from evil corporations.

A fake interested in being hip and different rather than interested in fine things themselves, be it philosophy, music or writing. Those (fans, maniacs, writers, people who love music with all of their hearts, etc) were always with us, but they're not externally cool, hip and different enough. A hipster condemns mainstream for being mainstream, not for those cases where mainstream has bad taste. Self-conscious at all times to be hip and cool, they actually look pretentious and vain.
Hipster to you: "A XXXXX band (you've never heard of) is cool, but Fatboy Slim, The Doors or Massive Attack? Too mainstream."

A person who will do whatever they can to act different from society. They think conforming to society's trends is a bad thing and will then try to be individual by putting themselves in a group where everyone where's the same fucking thick rimmed glasses and has the same androgynous haircut. They drink PBR because they think it's vintage and listen to music you probably have never heard of and most of them more than likely have majored in art and think that makes them a scholar. They without a doubt vote for Obama.They also eat kale and drive hybrids or they don't drive a car at all. A nest of them is growing in Brooklyn , New York. Basically they think they are a counter culture but they are too absorbed in their own smug to realize they are just fucking douschebags.
"Is that a boy or a girl over their drinking PBR wearing glasses and tight ass jeans?"
" it's just an arrogant hipster"
