a problem hipsters face whenever something that they once liked becomes mainstream or popular. it causes them to dislike something they once enjoyed because of the pain of popularization.
White Girl: Hey did you hear that new Mumford & Sons song on the radio? It's different but really good!
Hipster: Of course I heard it. I've known about them since they even formed.
White Girl: Aren't they great?
Hipster: Not anymore. Sellouts.
White Girl: You have a hipster complex.

When an establishment has staff or labour that projects a sense of aloofness, general unfriendliness, cultural arrogance, a focus on style over quality, shallowness, and general superficial focus. Often seen in bars and cafes where the staff should obviously not be in the service industry due to a lack of friendliness, intelligence, charisma, concern, and ability to actually connect with people and customers.
This happens often in bars where a few hipsters are first hired, and then through the general segregated and rigid nature of hipster culture, only other hipster are hired. Before long, only hipsters work at the establishment and an air of malaise sinks deep into the cultural fabric of the establishment. Leaving a hollow empty feeling that alternatives crowds generally curse the mainstream for. The irony being of course that in the great search for a service sector job and the search to be unique, different, and stylized, the hipster service-members have unknowingly created their own mainstream with similar rules, social conventions, and inability to connect with people.
Person 1: Ou, what a cool bar. Everything LOOKS great, theres even a turntable.
Person 2: Yeah, on the surface it looks fun. That turntable is only playing hip-hop though.
Person 3: This place sucks, I just went to get a pint.
Person 1: What happened?
Person 2: The staff didn't break a smile despite me engaging him, and he couldn't even have a basic conversation even though its dead. Classic hipster service.
Music so awful that its only use is to be flaunted as a fashion accessory by those obsessed with the idea of coolness; it remains perpetually "obscure" because no sane human being would listen to this music for pleasure.
Dan: Hey dude, I just got a limited-edition copy of We Are As The Romans Should Have Been's new EP - and on vinyl, too! It's Gregorian chants with a mambo beat - mind-blowing! Come listen!
Ben: Ugh, no. You can keep your hipster shit to yourself.
Dan: SCREW YOU! YOU DON'T KNOW GOOD MUSIC!

A form of fully-clothed sexual intercourse, usually practiced by hipsters, who prefer it because it allows them to leave their ultra-tight jeans on during the act. (The process of removing the jeans may take several hours to complete, by which time the need or desire for sex could be dissipated.)
"What are those two people doing? It looks like they're writhing around on top of a copy of Pitchfork magazine, interlocked but fully-clothed."
"It's just hipster sex. Leave them to it."

A douchebag who thinks they are too good for everything and everybody especially those considered "mainstream".
Hipsters are also commonly seen wearing gay ass clothes and ugly ass haircuts that look like that they lost a fight with a pair of scissors.
Most hipsters mooch off of other people such as their mothers because getting a job is too "mainstream". This is an excuse because they are lazy hippies who protest about how screwed up the economy is and only fuck it up more by not getting a job and voting for obamanation because he supports gays.
(There are no examples of hipsters because that would be too "mainstream")
