Dictionary.com doesn't help much:

Hipster | Define Hipster at Dictionary.com

The word kind of makes me think of an elderly person who needed a body part replaced, but then we'd also have kneesters.
I kind of thought it was a style of boot, or a style of women's underwear.

They're not the kind of people who want to climb the corporate ladder and drive an SUV to their house in the suburbs.
So that's what a hipster is. Hmm. I guess I share a bit with them, even though I'm over the hill. Still wear t-shirts almost exclusively. Don't wear potato sack pants that are 10 numbers too big for me. 501s for me. Was a musician... and was an artist, no less. I guess the closest point of relation is that I certainly don't want to climb the corporate ladder (actually, I'm opposed to corporate anything, in general)... and I dislike SUVs. Wouldn't mind having a good, small truck though. But, they don't make 'em any more. Just huge battleships--I guess I'd have to find an old Chevy Luv, or something. But then would I be just a plain ol' hippie? Paint flowers on my Luv?

I like to picture in my mind the Chinese man, who works in an outsourced factory. He proudly tells his dinner guests "I make plastic dog vomit, which we export to the Americans".
I know how toilets get cleaned. I used to clean them in an old job.
