QOTD: What Exactly is a Hipster?

Honest question. I don’t seem to see many where I live so I’m not sure what their distinguishing characteristics are. The fedora hat, yeah, I got that. Skinny pants, check. General air of ennui, got it. Messy hair, but not floppy (that would be emo, right?) (hahahaha emop, lol).

But after that, what am I looking for? Where do they hang out? Are there more boys and than girls? Do the two genders dress differently, or pretty much the same?

What music do they listen to?  What do they do all day? What is their dream job?

Does anyone here self-identify as hipster?

Is it a big enough movement to get a capital H?

Name some famous hipsters. Show us some pictures of hipster archetypes.

Is there something called post-hipsterism already?

Enlighten me, please.
