"Hipster" is a modern insult implying that the subject judges others based on taste in popular music and clothing. Concomitant implications include a glamorized view of poverty, leftist politics, and a disdain for daily work.
"Did you read that Salon.com article about hipsters on food stamps?"

So a hipster is 2 young to have the life experience 2 be wise yet is arrogantly morally superior/ judgmental, & absurdly closed-minded to any idea that challenges their dogma. They condemn racism but have never put it to the test by living in a 3rd world country, never even been uncomfortable or w/o tech toys. Choose to be thin but have never known/witnessed actual starvation. Judge/condemn others by body shape, hairstyle, clothing while claiming to be non-conformists. Constantly reduce human beings to 2 dimensional stereotypes, cluster in urban areas to reassure each other of their superiority rather than bravely dispersing to spread their values of unity, creativity, free thought, & racial integration to ACTUALLY change the world. I could go on pointing out the massive bias/ludicrously inaccurate hypocritical statements made here ( hipsters invented distressed jeans? Really? Diamond wash was commercially available in the 70s) but I will just summarize this article by saying it is completely delusional-the opinion of a 58 year old woman who lived in Jamaica 12 years, has Mexican & Jamaican daughters, traveled many countries, known true hunger, sacrificed to help others not just espoused beliefs on the internet to gratify my own ego, & doesn't feel superior to anyoneac, except possibly the moron that wrote this article.
Right after a free-thinking, open-minded hipster lays eyes on someone, they form an opinion based on a few spare facts, and know they are morally superior to someone who does not dress like them.

Hipsters are misguided adolescent minded people who live in a deluded fantasy land to promote their self-absorbed brand of pretentious alternativism. They act and dress alternatively so that they can illicit the perception from those around them that they are 'alternate' in every way.
The hipsterโs train of thought is they want everybody to know that theyโre different and they peacock this persona to fulfil its maximum potential. Itโs egocentrism in its most disturbing manifestation; their entire focus is to have all eyes on them by any means necessary other than their own individualism and sense of self. The ultimate irony of the hipster is they seek the idealistic goal of complete individualistic freedom, yet they attempt to achieve this through mass conformity and a dogmatic stance on what this โnon conformityโ should be and how its represented. It is the complete inversion to the โsense of selfโ that free thinking human beings strive for as the 'individual' is rejected for the badge, banner and title of โhipsterโ, be it literal or figurative.
Hipster's thought process: โjudge me not for what I am, but judge me for what im trying to conveyโ

Wears band shirts of bands they probably don't even listen to, (namely Nirvana) worships Kurt Cobain and, lives off of Nutella, Cheetos and sour patch kids.
All the hipsters on tumblr that post photos of their Nutella and tries to pass them off as photography.

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"
