		For example, people working in the service industry are encouraged to display their status as hipsters, to be their subcultural selves, because in so doing they contribute to the aura of cool that attracts clientele of the financially endowed sort (the "urban tourists" consisting largely of yuppies, "amateurs," the insufficiently hip).
		This would mean contributing to their own demise as hipsters, because without capitalism, there can be no such thing as "hip." At least not "hip" in its current articulation, which depends on elements of today's society that would likely disappear were it transformed along socialist and radically democratic lines.
		Not necessarily, but so long as what hipsters long for is forever located in the past rather than recognized as a future that certain kinds of struggle could make possible, they are able to ignore their complicity in capitalist domination.

	The Morning News - Do You Have Hipsters? by Eric Feezell
		Following are suggested measures to pinpoint the location of hipsters in your home, coax them out from their hiding places, and capture and return them to their natural habitats.
		Hipsters have usually attended a liberal-arts college for at least two years, however—and are thus extremely smart—and often won’t take the verbal bait.
		Hipsters are much happier when they are poor (although you’d never know this by looking at them).

	Hipster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although hipsters could be fl or white, the term later and more predominantly came to be used to refer to whites who were aficionados of the music, groupies and members of the so-called Bohemian set, or Beat Generation.
		Hipsters were sometimes referred to as beatniks, a term coined by San Francisco columnist Herb Caen after the Sputnik satellite from Russia.
		Many hipster terms generally fell out of use in mainstream, white society with the changing of styles and the coming of hippies in the 1960s, but have remained in use in the African-American community, where they were neither in nor out of fashion, but simply part of the traditional lexicon.

	Modulator: Angelheaded Hipsters
		By 1945 hip had completely replaced hep in informed circles, cat had come to mean any aware person (by the 1950s it was to mean any person at all), and hipster was beginning to mean a devotee of the new "progressive jazz" from the West Coast.
		During the decade of 1945-55 hipster drifted away from its jazz meaning and was applied to any hip or cool youth.
		My understanding and usage of the word is rooted in the beatnik era meaning and if todays 'hipsters' are going to earn their place in the word's lineage they will have to make a stronger effort.

	Urban Dictionary: hipster
		Hipster Ladies should have short hair and wear thrift shop clothes and Male Hipsters should be anemically skinny to let people know that they are poor and cant afford enough food.
		Fresh out of college mid 20’s people who claim to dislike all that is mainstream or popular, which is usually reflected in their taste of indie music and how quickly they’ll shun a group the moment they end up on a soundtrack, TV commercial/show or on the radio.
		Hipster: The Shins suck now for letting their song be on that album, how dare they try and make a buck.

		The hipster is an existentialist philosopher at heart.
		Mailer describes the hipster's language--heavily influenced by jazz and fl dialect--as an "artful language" intended to act as a wall between the hip and square worlds.
		It is difficult to imagine that Mailer wrote about the hipsters without having the "Beat Generation" at least partially in mind.

		I'd heard of the hipster leaders but knew they only surfaced for very special reasons - like blow-out cigarette sales or that one day a year you're allowed to put out couches and big items on the curb for the trash.
		It seems that the Fishtown Hipsters were sick of taking second billing to the N. Libs Hipsters and were making a stand.

		The hipster walks among the masses in daily life but is not a part of them and must shun or reduce to kitsch anything held dear by the mainstream.
		A hipster is always part of "them" since his style and soul are completely parallel to the hipster next to him, and the hipster next to him, and so on, and so forth, until they become the masses.
		By creating more hipsters and exclusive "models of fashion" hipster circles, scientists correctly predicted that those who enviously aspire to belong to that group are therefore enticed to purchase similar material possessions gain access to these circles.

	Hipsters are a bogey
		Hipsters function as a convenient way to market a certain range of cultural phenomena without risking the exposure of a direct endorsement or condemnation.
		In this light, the current of hatred for hipsters is a profoundly misdirected one.
		Chief offenders: They are the puppet masters who use the spectre of hipsters to shame their readers -- "don't you know, all the hipsters are..." -- and avoid ever having to take responsibility.

	The New York City Anti-Hipster Forum: 10/06/2002 - 10/12/2002
		But the thing that really makes hipsters so fucking annoying is that they don't have to struggle for anything, but they seem to pretend that they are struggling, they pretend that they know what it's like to struggle.
		But these people usually end up realizing that they are simply too talented to hang on the coattails of a hipster clan, and that the reason they couldn't 'fit in' was because they were no good at pretending: They were not one of life's actors.
		On the topic of a hipster initiation ceremony: The real clincher for you to be initiated into the hipster clan of your choice is a matter of mutual distaste.

	Something Awful: The Internet Makes You Stupid
		To the layman, all hipsters look the same: they dress in stupid clothes, they dye their hair, they listen to awful racket, and they’re always having sex with each other.
		This is true of any hipster subculture, but a lot of emo kids have absurd tunnel-vision taste: they listen to only their shitty little niche of emo, and you’ll never get a moment’s respite from it.
		Regular hipsters will turn off the Wolf Parade once in a while and throw on some David Bowie, but emo kids will offer no such breaks: it’ll be straight from His Dying Words to She is Cruelly Dying to This is My Pain Area to He Cuts Me Deep.

		In fact, most hipsters probably don't shop in Wicker Park, and plenty of the customers at Filter wear J.Crew outfits; they go there because the coffee's good and they probably have a crush on one or another of the hipster employees.
		Hipsters are difficult to define and easy to recognize.
		They live in a limbo of kitsch and irony where nothing is sacred; and probably there is some secret hope of instant fame that they harbor in their respective hearts.

	The Broken Hipsters: An Indie Rock Opera -- Reviews
		The Broken Hipsters, last weekend's "indie rock opera" -- written by Marc and Jay Sand (of The Sand Family), and starring a cast of local musicians and singers ripped right from a Khyber schedule -- was tight, smart and really, really funny.
		Part of what made The Broken Hipsters so unforgettable was its knack for simultaneously poking fun at the conventions of musical theater while adhering to enough of them to keep the whole thing rooted in its version of reality.
		Now comes The Broken Hipsters, whose cast features members of, like, every rock band in Philly: Cynthia G. Mason Trio, the Method and Result, This Radiant Boy, Todd Young, She-Haw, Buried Beds and so on.
