Hipster-ism. n. 1. A largely generational and metropolitan-centered identity-set whose discourse is typified by irony and fixation with the superficial (clothes, music, hairstyle of an “indie / alternative” variety,) which is awash in self-serving cynicism (e.g. we can’t change anything, so we might as well just get drunk and mock those why try to) and which defensively shrinks from all expressions which could be characterized as “sincere.”

From Subject-and-Object.
