In the 1940s, "hipster" referred to middle-class white people (often Jewish, or at least ambiguously so) who admired the work of and emulated the lifestyles of black jazz musicians. This was, for them, an existentialist rejection of "square" mainstream society. These hipsters were an unorganized movement that eventually morphed into poetry-reading, marijuana-smoking beatniks of the 1950s, and later the psychedelic drug-using, free love-oriented hippies of the 1960s. Sometime between the late 1990s - early 2000s, the term "hipster" was dusted off and applied to a new generation that expressed the old hipster ideals—specifically rejecting mainstream trends—in new ways: They were now predominantly middle-class or upper-middle class (especially the well-off "trust fund hipster"), college-educated, white 20-something-year-olds. Usually from the Pacific Northwest, New York City, or New England, they retain interest in "alternative" culture: Traits include left-of-center politics; alternative music; independent, cult classic, and foreign films; thrift-store or vintage fashion; Apple products; a diet of locally-grown, organic, or vegetarian/vegan food; and craft beers. Hipsters prefer to live in gentrifying areas where the rents are still somewhat affordable and where there are bars, cafes and stores (namely record stores and vintage clothes stores) catering to their interests. In The New '10s, self-identified hipsters (if such a thing can even be found, as no one seems willing to call themselves by this name) view themselves as intellectuals who reject the mainstream and carefully define their individual identities, taking a buffet-style approach to elements of other cultures and subcultures. Your typical hipster outfit will appropriate and/or cannibalize elements from the punk, hippie and rave scenes, plus '90s Grunge and modern geek-chic, as well as some token from a non-Western culture (usually Asian or Native American). Lacking the raison d'etre of any of these subcultures, the hipster will instead use an air of sarcasm to tie the ensemble together (the '60s hippie did much the same, only without the irony). Hipsters' musical tastes are eclectic but generally centered around genres such as Indie Pop, Alternative Hip Hop, Post-Rock and minimalist Techno. Particular bands hipsters tend to enjoy include Belle and Sebastian, Ben Folds, Jens Lekman, Animal Collective, Dr. Dog, Best Coast, and all of the Elephant 6 Collective bands (especially Neutral Milk Hotel). Yet simply knowing these bands is only half the battle, as an obscure and eclectic taste in music is preferred, and much of which is collected on vinyl. Pitchfork, a music blog, is probably the most important hipster tastemaker and gatekeeper of the past decade. It's often joked that this is who Emos turn into when they grow up. It should be noted that while these bands may be popular among hipsters, this doesn't make the bands themselves 'hipster bands'. Conversely, a nominal 'hipster band' may actually be abandoned by hipsters if it becomes too "mainstream" (Arcade Fire, for instance, were written off by many once they found mainstream popularity from its Grammy wins and soundtrack appearances in movies like Where the Wild Things Are and The Hunger Games). Additionally, a good portion of bands loved by hipsters actively reject the sarcasm, snobbery, and trendiness that often go along with hipster culture. Arcade Fire has been known to throw jabs at hipsters in their songs ("they will eat right out of your hand/using great big words that they don't understand!") and indie folk group Bon Iver outright defied the label by recording an ultra-sincere, proudly cheesy autotuned Power Ballad for their second album. Politically, the typical hipster will be center-left, being against "big business" and believing strongly in social justice, but still wary of high taxes and, like their fashion and music tastes, taking a mix-and-match approach to political views. This is sometimes flanderized into a politically overcorrect liberal strawman who thinks Everything Is Racist and that everything has political undertones. A more modern example that emerged in the 2010s, inhabiting more or less the same side of the political spectrum but with very different preoccupations, is the self-described socialist who associates themselves with 20th-century left-wing revolutionary imagery and, living in a gentrified neighborhood, fixates on combinations of issues like student debt relief, cannabis legalization, and bringing back rent control that affect people like them—college-educated, middle-class urban residents. A critical mind might see hipsters as yet another subculture dedicated to individuality that ended up manifesting just as much herd mentality as the mainstream it rejected, with a tendency to act as though popularity and quality are inversely proportional, and to be aggressively smug (read: shamelessly arrogant) about it. This often leads to parodies of hipsters that boil down to one joke-hipsters as hypocrites concerned with making themselves superior by being different. Due to this strawman, the term "hipster" is frequently used as an insult, lobbed in the direction of anyone deemed pretentious or the slightest bit "artsy." Further confusing the issue, hipsters themselves will, owing to their "indier-than-thou" attitude, frequently disown any hipster fashions or artists that catch on in the mainstream. One year, hipsters may wear distressed, ripped jeans and t-shirts with ironic vintage 1970s logos; the next year, self-professed hipsters will stop wearing those because they're available at every Walmart in America, while the latecomers who start wearing those will still be labeled hipsters by outsiders. This only further contributes to the decay of the label (although the term "scenesters" is sometimes used for these johnny-come-latelies). But the real reason hipsters get so much hate is probably just the perceived smugness. Spiritual—if not actual—descendant of the Yuppie (albeit with less overt or crass materialism note Whereas a 1980s yuppie would ostentatiously wear Brooks Brothers shirts and Rolex watches to display their wealth and status, a hipster will wear a vintage shirt and carry brand new Mac laptop to display their taste and style. and class anxiety). Also, compare Emo Teen, Beatnik, Granola Girl, New-Age Retro Hippie, Bourgeois Bohemian, Tech Bro. See also Aging Would-Be Hipsters who are characters who either were hip years ago and are now desperately trying to get back into "the scene" (despite having little or no idea of what's going on) or are long-term hipsters who sense the world is drifting away from them. Related to Irony, Postmodernism, Popularity Polynomial. Often holds the belief that True Art Is Angsty. Those unfamiliar with subcultural and countercultural movements will often confuse Goth, Punk, Raver and Emo with the Hipster subculture, using "hipster" as a catch-all term for any quirky or alternative music or fashion, including those affiliated with other subcultures. This is a huge, huge Berserk Button for anyone involved in any of the aforementioned alternative subcultures. See also I Read It for the Articles. Not to be confused with Rule of Cool or Isn't It Ironic? (It is.) Usually this trope is in opposition to "The Man". Yeah, we just had to point that out. |

In The Penguins of Madagascar episode "Antics on Ice", Skipper is driven to get Private to that Lunacorns show. He is haunted by future visions of a jaded, cynical Private who wears a trilby hat, a goatee, and eyeglasses that he doesn't need because "I'm ironic". | |

Real Life Comics: In one strip, Greg considers getting some Converse All-Stars and his wife Liz starts insulting him, to which Greg replies that Chuck Taylors were around decades before hipsters were. This gets a Call-Back a few weeks later, when Greg doesn't want to see The Hunger Games because it's too popular (since he tried Twilight due to its popularity and got burned). |

In The Simpsons episode "The Day The Earth Stood Cool", a "cool" new family moves in next door and Homer tries to be like them. Guess what this family consists of. As more of them arrive, Homer starts to find them annoying but the episode ends with the entire town embracing their aesthetic and Springfield declared the coolest town in America. Which is, of course, the point at which the original family decide Springfield's "played out", and they should move. | |

Played with in Ex Machina. On one hand Nathan is the head of a trendy tech company, follows various health fads, and generally seems to cultivate his own unique lifestyle. However, this is at least partly intentional on Nathan's part. He is intended to represent how powerful tech companies get customers to let their guard down by acting like they're your pal and making you think you're getting to be part of a cool lifestyle, when what they're really doing is taking your money and rifling through your address book. | |

The Miraculous Ladybug fic Porte-Boner includes an Akuma named The Hipsteur, described as "a man in impossibly skinny jeans, an improbably large handlebar mustache, an incredibly rustic-looking snapback, and seventy or eighty scarves demolishing a McDonald's with a powerful blast of enchanted Pabst Blue Ribbon, and leaving in its wake an artisanal hand-squeezed vegan juice bar," who states that his mission is to "make sure Paris is a city you probably haven't heard of." He proves hilariously easy for Ladybug and Chat Noir to defeat - they spend the whole "battle" having a conversation over coffee while dealing with hangovers, repeatedly distracting him by directing him to record shops, bike shops, internet cafes, etc, before finally distracting him with a coffee (which he actually offers to pay them for) and destroying the akumatized object (a credit card bill addressed to his parents). | |

Tumblr is considered to be full of hipsters. The whole site works as such: You post some content (usually a picture). If others like it, they reblog it, and people who like it seen from those sites reblog it, and so on. You get recognition as the person who posted the thing before it was popular because it always leads back to you. Other subcultures have cropped up since then, but they still collectively refer to the community still focusing on this original form of blogging as "hipster blogs". | |

William Darcy from The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is described almost as a Generic Doomsday Villain variant of a snobby hipster by the Unreliable Narrator, Lizzie Bennet. When he appears, he is actually a dorky if overly snarky Horrible Judge of Character who believes that Good Is Not Nice and has a rather low opinion of comformist modern society and a high opinion of himself. | |

The characters of Scott Pilgrim are somewhat hipsterish, although it's more of an Affectionate Parody/criticism toward the lifestyle. More of the villains seem to fit the hipster mold than the sympathetic characters do. Matthew Patel for sure, with his weird fashions and declarations of what is "in" this year. Gideon Gordon Graves clearly aspires to be some sort of hipster king, flaunting his impossibly hip new club and telling Scott he's not cool enough to date Ramona. Scott and his friends, meanwhile, seem to send the message that being honest and true to yourself is the way to be happy in life. Hipsterdom and geekdom is discussed and played with in the comic, the main characters are vaguely nerdy guys and girls that enjoy their lives and defy stereotype of both Hipsters and Nerds (While they like video games, comics and anime, they also go to parties and have relationships which is considered un-geek by the media. They play in a indie band an have certain unusual interests but their tastes are genuine and honest instead of trying to look cool like hipsters do). The villains and antagonists in the other hand are trying too hard to be hip and appear as cool, Envy, for example, rejected her otaku past and adopted the persona of a sexy, mature rocker. Ramona Flowers also exemplifies this, by being a hipsterish woman that doesn't feel bad for hanging out with her much geekier boyfriend and his friends, while Knives is a teenager looking for her identity and tried to be both geek and hipster, she failed in them two. If this comic teaches something is to be yourself, as the most well adjusted characters are Cool Losers while the antagonists are just losers pretending to be cool. |

Community: Jeff Winger tends to share the role of group hipster with Britta, although he tends to occupy the 'vain, self-centred and desperately obsessed with being seen as the coolest person in the room (while simultaneously desperately obsessed with being seen as aloof and uncaring about being cool)' part of the stereotype, while Britta's more the 'smug, condescending indie-culture left-winger' part. Also mostly-sympathetically-deconstructed, as it's increasingly revealed that this is mainly just a cover for his many neuroses. | |

On Selfie, self-obsessed Eliza has her neighbor Bryn, who she calls a "hipster-crite." Bryn dresses in floral prints, runs a book club (in Eliza's words, it's for "adult virgins"), her friends have names like Eyelet and Thistle, makes her own pop tarts, and tends to look down on Eliza (but then again, a lot of other people think she's too shallow/self-centered). Bryn and her girls seem to be a bit romantic at heart, as Bryn audibly gasps when she thinks Henry has come to her apartment for Eliza as a "Jerry Maguire moment" | |

On the King of the Hill episode "Lady and Gentrification", Peggy sells a lot of homes in Enrique's neighborhood to hipsters, who like it for its ethnic flavor. Eventually they start opening business and driving up property values, to the point that poor Enrique can't afford to live there anymore; he rents his house, not own it. Peggy and Hank fix this by pretending that rednecks and typical sub white people were moving in. | |

Zoey from Total Drama has hints of this. Specifically, her audition tape to get on the show mentions that she wanted to go to indie movie theaters, wear retro clothes and horn-rimmed glasses- basically thinking that acting like a hipster might make her different enough just to be noticed by others. She's really just a normal, sometimes overly-friendly girl filled with good intentions who tries her hardest to make friends since she has none where she comes from. | |

Namechecked in The Big Bang Theory. While Leonard and Penny try to hang out as Just Friends at a bar Penny strikes up a conversation with a friendly but sardonic guy named Kevin on his laptop, who fits the trope despite comparatively little screentime. Leonard thought she was just trying to make a point to him, but Penny mentions that she found him cute with his "hipster glasses and dorky t-shirt." (While certainly not a hipster, Leonard wears similar glasses and dorky t-shirts) | |

Homestuck: Dave Strider is initially a parody of hipster culture, as he's obsessed with (his interpretation of) irony, and with living in the most ironic way possible. Although, unlike most hipsters, his taste runs more towards hip-hop and dance music rather than indie rock. In any case, the events of Sburb have caused quite a bit of Character Development, and his interest in irony is no longer emphasized so much. It's also implied that Dave's obsession with irony is a coping mechanism for dealing with his Bro's creepier obsessions, and by the end of the story he admits that basing his entire life on irony has made him miserable and just once he wants to be able to genuinely enjoy something. Dirk Strider is also very interested in irony—except he takes his irony so far that it twists back around to sincerity. Sometimes even he himself can't tell at what point his treatment of, say, the Detective Pony novel, transitions from mockery to celebration. Eridan Ampora actually gets called an "ugly scarfnecked douchebag hipster" at one point, and he certainly dresses the part. On the other hand, he doesn't do very much hipster-ish besides dress the part. His ancestor/clone/descendant/alternate-universe counterpart Cronus also looks rather like a hipster but he's just pretending to be a human Greaser Otherkin to get dates. |

Since the Grand Theft Auto games also serve as social commentary on the period each game is set in, it's pretty inevitable that the IV saga and V (both set during the turn of the 2010s, during which the hipster subculture as known today would emerge) would ruthlessly parody this trope. In IV, there is Radio Broker, an alternative rock station catering to hipsters, while its DJ, Juliette Lewis (as herself), snarks about the particular subculture and their tendency to reject things that have gone mainstream. There are also news reports about them starting to flood the suburbs around Liberty City, indirectly causing taxi fare hikes (because, according to the drivers, they can't distinguish real beggars from well-to-do street-people-wannabes). In V: Radio Mirror Park is Los Santos' analogue to Radio Broker. One of Trevor's Berserk Buttons is being called one. Michael properly analyzes his life style— living out in the sticks away from the coffee shops and bankers, defying any sort of labels from others, wearing what he wants because he doesn't care, his taste in music and tattoos, saying how hipsters love to hate on other hipsters— he mocks him for living like a hipster, going so far as to call him a "proto-hipster" and exactly the kind of person that all hipsters aspire to be. Michael posits that when his neighborhood becomes gentrified, then Trevor will move somewhere else and start the cycle all over again. One of Trevor's Rampage missions sees him slaughtering a horde of hipsters. Grand Theft Auto Online released the "I'm Not a Hipster" update in July 2014, adding several hipster-themed clothes and vintage cars. |

A popular trend on Facebook — most definitely played for satirical irony and laughs towards the whole Hipster culture — are "Hipster" versions of popular fictional (or otherwise infamous) characters. Hipster Slenderman, Hipster Hitler, Hipster Naruto, Hipster Stewie, Hipster Chewbacca, The Hipster Joker.. The list goes on... Just to drive the point home, almost all of their profile pics have them wearing the standard black horn-rimmed "hipster" glasses. | |

For one Lizzie McGuire episode, Gordo starts acting like this after suddenly becoming obsessed with 50's Lounge music, particularly Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. After Lizzie accidentally popularizes "Rat Pack Culture" with the rest of the school, he quits it in disgust of its new-found popularity. When she and Miranda try to apologize, he blames them for ruining his new interest, calls them "mindless trendoids, following the herd" and leaves them to fly RC planes, a hobby he clearly has no interest in, but puts up with because it's unpopular. He eventually relents when he realizes what a jerk he's being and returns to help them with their Lounge themed school dance, delivering An Aesop that hating something just for its popularity is just as bad as liking it just for its popularity. | |

One episode of Schitt's Creek features David Rose's ex-boyfriend Sebastien Raine, a handsome art world hipster who David says will be wearing an expensive sweater that doesn't look expensive. It's clear that Sebastien only slept with David to obtain a show at his gallery, and he has shown up in town in order to humilate David's mother through a Diane Arbus-like photography project. David may have once aspired to be like Sebastien, but he puts a stop to the project by sleeping with Sebastien and stealing the memory card containing the photos. | |

Although the term didn't even exist at the time the story was written, the title character of Enoch Soames fits the trope perfectly. Soames is a wannabee poet and poseur who puts on the airs of being a world weary artist and professes to scorn contemporary and past writers who are highly regarded. Additionally, he's able to pursue poetry as a vocation because he receives an annuity from a wealthy Aunt. | |

The Kaskade Region, a Phonýmon region based on the Pacific Northwest US, takes many cues from its cultures, and the eighth Gym Leader, Trip, is a beanie-wearing hipster. He is very well-traveled, encourages everyone to ignore the labels that society gives them and just be themselves, and is rather smug when showing off his Pokémon, which his opponents have probably never seen, from regions they've never been to before. | |

In Regular Show, Mordecai shows definite traits of this Episodes like "This Is My Jam" made it pretty clear. Also from the same episode: In the same episode, he also criticizes Rigby for liking a song from his youth because it was too popular. They listen to this song on cassette tape, which has enjoyed a renaissance in popularity amongst hipsters. In "Camping Can Be Cool" he mentions he went to art school at some point while talking to Margaret, but he most likely dropped out. And let's not forget that Mordecai talks like a surfer dude and/or stoner despite the fact he clearly isn't one, in fact being something of a lazy slob. Of course this is J.G. Quintel's real voice, but still. The episode "Cool Bikes" is a big affectionate criticism towards the subculture, as it pretty much makes fun of the shallowness of recent hipster attitude. In this episode Benson takes the golf cart out and gives Mordecai and Rigby some old-fashioned bikes instead, and says that he won't give it back unless they become cool. To achieve this, Mordecai and Rigby start to buy very expensive clothes that squarrly fit into hipster stereotypes and adopt an aloof and cold attitude, it works just fine as they start to be admired by other hipsters who imitate their style, but although Mordecai and Rigby do look pretty cool, they do nothing to deserve that distinction. A common criticism toward current hipsterdom is that they are much focused on their image rather in real artistic merits (This was criticized since their early days, but it has become more prevalent during the late 2000s.) and they just do un-cool stuff (Old-fashioned bikes, miss-matched outfits with an 80's feel) with a "super-cold" attitude that immediately makes that stuff cool. Later in the episode they are accused of being "way too cool" for being alive (It Makes Sense in Context), and the prosecutor in the trial comment how everyone else copied their style and even mentioned "Ironic T-Shirts" (A staple of hipster fashion and attitude) as another trend popularized by Mordecai and Rigby. |

Max Caulfield in Life Is Strange is mocked for being a hipster, something she agrees with somewhat. She talks about raiding a thrift store for a new wardrobe for school, watches not-mainstream-but-not-really-obscure movies like AKIRA and Cannibal Holocaust, and her playlist seems to consist only of slow, acoustic guitar music. She's not "in your face" about it though. If anything, she's pretty self-depricating about it. | |

Hipsters are the villains of the third season of The Most Popular Girls in School. A disgraced ex-cheerleader introduces hipsterism to Overland Park and it catches on with the entire populace, leaving traditionally popular people—such as the Villain Protagonist cheerleaders and the heroic deuteragonist football team—as outcasts. Near the end of the season, a Lower-Deck Episode takes place, depicting four peripheral characters who elected to go to a hipster concert instead of the football game, realizing they haven't actually had any fun since the hipsters took over and learning An Aesop that's actually a rather profound and heartwarming condemnation of both hipsterism and the mainstream: | |

These kind of villagers are males villagers who talk about how suave and stylish they are, often try to hit on female and male players and how they're into obscure kinds of music (and 8-bit chiptunes "because those are glorious") and other geeky things like trains and anime. However, they rather would be called "enthusiasts". They also complain about how they don't have a favorite TV show anymore because whenever they get into one, the network cancels it. | |

Survival of the Fittest: Gracie Wainright and Rhory Anne Broderick of v4 both have tendencies of this trope. Bob Lazenby of SOTF-TV also fits, as do Leopold Sutherland and Eloise Winterburn. | |

In Kitty Powers' Matchmaker, one of ten Types of clients is this. Hipsters usually wear their hair in a bun, have small beards and/or mustaches, and wear narrow glasses and high-class outfits. They typically like avant-garde art, artisan coffee, and activities related to activism. | |

In Fossil Fighters: Champions, the Terrible Trio is these shunned for their Embarrassing Hobbies. They're eventually made sympathetic by the end - they only fell in with the supposed bad guy because he's the only one who treated them decently - but Cole the hipster is still the target of more mockery than the other two (a metalhead and a hippie, for the record). | |

The Scott Pilgrim vs. The World parody on MAD added a third love interest to Scott in the form of Snow White and made her a much more hipster than the other characters, with unnatural white and black hairstyle (obviously dyed) and big, chunky thick framed glasses | |

Manly Guys Doing Manly Things: "I am of the opinion that the word hipster means absolutely nothing anymore. People seem to use it to refer to people younger than 40 who wear clothes. And I’m sure even if they didn’t, that would be 'so counterculture' and end up being hipster too." That said, if there are such a thing as hipsters, then the Arishok of Dragon Age II is one of them. |

Happy Endings parodied hipsters in the episode "Dave of the Dead". Penny hooks up with one unknowingly when she meets one at the laundromat and assumes his shabby attire is due to being the last clean clothes he had. Max instructs her in acting the part, by basically not caring about anything. She eventually leaves him because, being a Large Ham, couldn't bear acting aloof all the time. The final scene had hipsters shuffling like zombies toward Dave's food truck. The second-to-last scene features Penny calling out a girl for using a wheelchair as part of her "look." The girl says she is paralyzed. Just as Penny starts apologizing, "Psych. I can totes walk. Sweet chair, though, right?" Penny proceeds to wheel her into something off-screen. |

The AJR x Daisy the Great song "Record Player" uses hipster culture as a means of exploring life and keeping things interesting just to prove that you're not stuck in a rut. The chorus that plays throughout the song speaks the most about it. | |

In the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode "Plaza Prom", Enid is asked to break out her DJ Fireball persona for a prom, and she reluctantly goes along with it. She's visibly uncomfortable when she has to start playing "Mainstream trash", and is later shown hooked up to a respirator with an attending EMT nearby because it's killing her so much. KO later tells her to go ahead and play what's in her heart, prompting her to pull out the "GOOD MUSIC." | |

Morris and Harry from The Word Weary are self-identified hipsters. The author said in the comments section of this comic that Morris has a real appreciation for the musical and fashion aesthetics of the subculture while Harry became one "because he heard hipster girls were easy." | |
