hipsters are modern day wannabe hippies that are not real hippies, they are like posh hippies that wear expensive clothes and then makes holes in them to look underground.

In London I'd describe somebody as a Hipster who tends to dress wearing tight jeans/trousers along with a slightly unorthodox top and an obviously fashion inspired hair style. They are usually very into their music and ride single speed bicycles.

Too many people confuse a music snob with a hipster. I am a music snob

Think 90% of commerical music is poop and think that if a genre of music becomes mainstream the quality ususally drops massively.

I also like many dj's you won't have heard of.

Hipsters mock hipsters who mock hipsters who mock hipsters who are hipsters who aren't edgy, cool or remotely interesting.

"Let's be different."
"But everyone's different."
"That doesn't matter we're better different."
"But everyone's different."
"You wear socks."
"*****."

XeNoN89, Do you make holes in your pants on purpose ?

Hipsters are an American thing, we don't have them in the UK, you do get a couple of copycats but in most cases when you hear hipster its just from people who have heard the term online and in US media using it to describe somebody it doesn't apply too.

skinny jeans, stupid tops, excessive tattoos (particularly sleeves), fixed-gear bikes, stretched lobes, conscious "anti-cool", everything they own being deliberately much older or much newer than anyone else's, big NHS glasses (often empty frames).

What/who do you classify as a 'hipster'

Hadn't ever heard the term before (other than a similar thread on this forum), but from what I've read it sounds like a 'hipster' is just anyone who thinks it's cool to be 'different'?

The sort of guy that gets on a train from Cambridgeshire and moves into an East London flat. Usually has a mostache and a low cut vest, wears purple leggings and a sailor tatt. Probably has one gear on his 'fixie' bike and gets's '+1s' on his gigs in the evenings. And I bet my bottom dollar he plays synth.

They all play synth.
