Hello,

well, at first I thought that it wouldn't be an English term. But it is, Merriam-Webster's knows it. In the first form it was coined in the 1940's.

I never hear this word either. Looks like an urban fashion thing to me..

 

I definitely read this word more often than I hear it!

 

You hear it said quite a bit over here.

 

Hello,

if I hear it, it is usually in the context of software engineering and combined with another word. And it's not a compliment then .

Haven't heard that term as much lately. I think ironic sense of humor and cat shirts. And Bon Iver.

 

I think 'indie music'.

 

hip-ster is almost an exact opposite of hip-ie

if there is one thing about the 60s and 70s in the u.s., that the u.s. has forgotten, it is that.

all too understandable that the priesthood of little green pieces of paper would want us to.

 

Hipsters = obnoxious millennials living in urban areas who have professional jobs and a penchant for "indie" music and unconventional fashions.

 

I think back to a Simpsons episode where.. somebody was called a "Hipster Doofus".

 

Or perhaps you're thinking of Seinfeld.

Yes! You're right it was Kramer and the wheelchair person.

 

"Hipster" is like a subculture but essentially lacking in any consistency in clothing, ethos, attitude or music.

Essentially it's a meaningless word people use to describe people that they don't like.

They'll claim it has something to do with people with moustaches/beards, a mixture of vintage clothing, eclectic music taste and AT tattoos, but then they'll use it on people with none of those things, it just seems to be a catch-all term with no underlying meaning.

At least thats how i've heard it used most.

 

I agree. The odd thing is I know people who fit the physical description of a hipster and yet..profess how much they hate hipsters? No one actually thinks they're a hipster. It's just used as a derogatory term.

I kinda like silly mustaches, I won't lie.

 

Like a lot of 'hip' slang it came from jazz musicians of the late 1930's- 40's along with terms like 'cool', 'dig', 'groove' 'cats' 'jive' etc



As per contemporary parlance, I'm thinking probably the most anti-hipster thing one can do is call themselves a hipster, LOL
