The Definition.

Urban dictionary.com has over 121 posts for the definition of hipster.  Nearly all the posts deem hipster as "cooler than cool" "artsy" and "complicated".  The theme of hipster as a means of self expression also remains prominent with claims that they dye their hair often, shop at vintage/thrift stores, and have high interest in books, film, music, art, and photography.  Almost all definitions also claim the age group of hipsters is mid twenties.  There also appears to be political undertones to "hipster" as they are also considered a subculture which values independent thought, counter culture and progressive politics.  "Hipster" appears not just a way of life, but a movement.
