    Cool is. I don't know about trendy. It requires affluence. You can't be broke and trendy. Poverty is never in fashion but cool anyone can be. This post was edited by O-uknow at May 17, 2017 3:18 PM MDT

  • Someone who wears skinny jeans, listens to indie music, is quite liberal, and wears that horrible ugly slouchy hat. 

    I actually match the first three characteristics listed, but I won't go near those hats.

    High-end millenial fashionista.

    Take Eric Bandholz for example.


    Expensive, close-fitting clothes that look cheap - check
    Manbun - check
    Big beard - check
    Career driven - check
    Self-absorbed vanity and addicted to posting selfies on Instagram - check

    Hipster personified.

    Why bother, It is one of those fashion-words that spring up regularly and get forgotten almost as fast as they came. like 'millenial', 'yuppie', etc.

  • Urban Dictionary: A Coffee drinking, novel reading, wayfarer wearing, oxford obsessing girl/guy who often will pretend to know everything about anything in pop culture spanning from the 1920's to now. Subsequently, they will pretend also not to like everything and anything in pop culture from the 1920's to now. May be seen wearing over sized or undersized, (but never the right sized)t shirt, which will undoubtedly be advertising some sort of movie that know one knows of and or band that know one knows of/likes. Most of them will say they 'get' where the wild things are and shun you for not thinking Spike Jonze is God. If you do not watch the Oscars they hate you. If you do watch the oscars they hate you

    Skinny jean wearing, Starbucks loving liberal youngster who hates everything mainstream solely because it's mainstream. But I dunno, I've been accused of being a hipster just because I like antiques and older music, but I'm not smug about it like an actual hipster.
