Two things I hate most about proto-typical hipsters:

1. They insist on wearing hats without knowing how to do it properly. You don’t tuck your ears into a trilby. And you don’t wear them inside.

2. They make people hate lots of things I have done for years, decades even. Like wearing glasses. Or drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon. Or being too lazy to shave. For me, it’s not a desperate fashion choice! It’s blindness, cheapness, and laziness, respectively.

I thought it meant someone who was “hip to it”, like “in the know”. Your definition fits with the current though.
I thought some of the above were trustiffarians. Rustiffarians with trust funds.

It’s not so much the “definition” of being a hipster, it’s whether people “accept” the definition of hipster that you provide. That’s where the problem arises.

I don’t think I’m a hipster. I’m more of a Chuckster.
