Proto-concepts or better, embryo-concepts, are concepts in the process of becoming and not fully formed like those of non-adults or adolescents . Very young or prepubescent children are unable to form the complete concept, but, are able to form intellectual functions that in a specific combination form the psychological combination bases of the process of 'concept formation,' the ability to form genuine concepts will only develop when the individual is on the cusp of maturity.
Proto-concepts are intellectual forms that act in place of actual fully matured concepts; they are harbingers of concepts to come.
Certain people of the indie variety who may be considered Hipster in most circles, but never actually went full hipster. A proto hipster has the ability to acknowledge cultural norms, and chooses to exceed them to an extent.
A proto hipster must meet all of these conditions to be considered: does not wear douchebag v-necks on a daily basis or often, does not have a moustache or a full beard, does not wear fake glasses, does not wear buddy holly glasses regardless of weather they are real or fake, does not have visible tattoos, does not have dyed hair, does not wear beanies when it is not cold, does not drink PBR or any other "indie" beer, is not vegetarian, vegan, or on a gluten-free diet.
A proto hipster is generally one who wears funky clothes that does not excessively succeed cultural norms, and listens to obscure music, and watches old or weird movies
