Hipster

A hipster is someone who rejects established culture, and usually also advocates left-wing political and lifestyle theories. Hipsters like irony, wear skinny jeans and make esoteric indie band references. They seem unaware that in rejecting "established culture" they have merely established a culture of their own.

Hipsters like to congregate in Williamsburg, but many can be found in downtown Manhattan as well. Columbia has more than its fair share, but far fewer than NYU.
