Typically with the signature air of self-congratulation, Hipster Logic is the seemingly logical but contextually naΓ―ve viewpoint often used by young hipsters.
- "Buy now and save money!"
- "Giving is saving."
- "Free phone with 2 year contract."
- "1,000 bonus points!"
Unto themselves, hipsters might use hipster logic is justify an action that seems en vogue, popular, or feel-good.
Onto them, hipster logic is used in marketing to manipulate naΓ―ve consumers to feel an artificial sense of accomplishment or urgency.
I first coined this word in November 2013.
Hipster Logic often leads to ironic, if not amusing, situations.
- Occupy Wall Street movement participants using iPhones and Android phones to coordinate efforts via the networks provided by AT&T and Verizon. None of which would be possible without the large-scale investments that would only be possible through massive capital markets and financial trades.
- Driving Toyota Prius cars (where all profits go overseas) to an anti-Wal-Mart rally against low wages and lack of higher paying jobs.
- Enjoying window plants in their urban renovation condo with new hardwood floors and cabinets to reduce their carbon footprint.
- While bicycling, ignoring street lights and stop signs with the belief bicycles don't constitute traffic or cause accidents.

1. Someone who has taken being hip and unique to an extreme and therefore worn the "cool" out of the hip. 2. What Jerry called Kramer on the show Seinfeld.
"He is such a hipster doofus, and has not changed at all since college. Do you think he knows he is a hipster doofus?"

Similar to a Hipster, but even poorer. They tend to be found at the back of Music Festival stages shuffling to any type of music or sound or nothing. They wear skinny tight jeans so their balls don't jiggle when they shuffle to prevent from chaffing. A lot of them originated from Socal and primarily from Downey, California and seem to know who Nicholas Reppert is.
Mexican guy: "Hey are you from Downey?"
Latino girl : "No, But do you know a Nicholas Reppert from Downey"
Mexican guy: "Yeah, how do you know him?"
Latino girl: "Because you look like a Mexican Hipster.

The Hipster is a vile creature who feeds off of what he or she is essentially told is uncool- anything against the mainstream or social norm. A lanky 20something with a blank face and unnecessary nonprescription frames is clinging to his PBR and off brand cigarette. This boy probably has the entire discography for The Smithβs but no turn table. He also has a sad looking dog whose bones stick out at sharp angles all over his body because his new owner has liberated him from the confines of a meat eating household and now feeds him only vegan cuisine. Do not fear this waste of oxygen, a quick blow to the stomach will leave him toppled over on the ground, because all he has eaten is a soy nut bar and an expensive latte from a nonconformist coffee shop.A hipster female has ironic stickers all over her fixed gear bicycle and a smug look that says βIβm better than you because I donate money to NPR every year.β This girl spends her time teaching underprivileged children how to read existential literature and giving vegan to starving homeless people with her Food Not Bombs group. Drag a key across each member of her indie record collection and she will relapse into a mental state of hibernation, for without her precious tunes she cannot possibly survive this harsh world of consumerism and the mainstream. Do not fear the impending hipster apocalypse, eventually each one of these individuals will figure out that it is against the social norm to jump off a bridge and undoubtedly do so.
Oh! I know that Richmond hipster, she tried to get me into Animal Collective and This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb.
Why does that Richmond hipster have a stick where his handlebars should be?

Probably one of the best blogs on the internet, because it's a bunch of hipster hating hipsters, and they're cool because they can take a little joke about themselves,
Made by Carles, but no one really knows who Carles is, a girl or a guy, old or young, etc. We don't know.
Hey did you hear about how Best Coast insulted Hipster Runoff ?
