How do you define a Hipster?

This is a term I'm still not 100% sure I understand.

What does this term mean too you?

Is it as simple as "a person who likes obscure things"? Like, obscure music?

I've been listening too Metal since I was an adolescent and I've always wanted to find new bands, bands that I'd never heard of, bands I could show my friends and share and give exposure too.

Does that somehow make me a hipster?

I always looked at being willing to find new bands and put the effort in to find new music that you had to dig and search for as a virtue almost.

The radio/billboard top 100 isn't for everyone, it seems like some people think it's all you need and that if you venture beyond that you're just trying to be a pretentious tool.

That's not it at all, I just don't connect with alot of what I hear on the radio, some of it is really good, but alot of it does nothing for me.

What's your verdict, am I a hipster?
 
No pure definition

Nope, you are not a hipster in my book. I think of a hipster more as someone doing currently popular things while claiming that they do them not because they are popular but that rather they have been doing them all along and then they became popular.
To borrow on your metal analogy- I like metal as well, and also like to look for bands with a good sound that others might not have heard of. Right now there is a band in the area that I like called Pluto no More (which I also think is a fantastic name for a band). I don't think liking them and hoping they get broader exposure makes me a hipster. I think a hipster is the guy who starts liking them after they get big and claims he was a fan since they were playing in the racks of a warehouse after a small MMA event in Beaufort SC in 2014.

That may have been the case years ago, but not any more. Most "hipster" things are pretty mainstream at this point (though the hipsters may erroneously consider them to be obscure or claim that they liked them before they became popular). A large percentage of people under the age of 45 who live in American cities have at least some vaguely hipster qualities (enjoy craft beer and food, ride a bike to work, grow extreme facial hair, watch soccer, etc.).

I do a lot of that myself. I'm only able to rule myself out because I'm a bit of a jock. Hipsters all seem to have no lats or quads.

I thought that was just a douchebag? Dont they have a bunch of skinny jean wearing craft beer drinking, flannel shirt but not a lumberjack fuckers in your neck of the woods? I thought Portland was just a 3 year too late Seattle.
 
A person who is a snob about their own weirdness, and projects an air of pompous behavior instead of realizing that we all have our own idiosyncrasies.
 
you can see them from a mile away in long beach.

they are usually trust fund kids who dress a lot different than regular folk they come from wealthier cities or towns moving into bad neighborhood s and they are usually rude due to not having street smarts,there is a certain way to addressing hood folk and avoiding trouble you can't be out of pocket.

They pick fights with the battle hardened locals and get ko'ed predictably.

It's like the ultimate incarnation of a try hard. Whatever you think is cool, they do better and have been doing it longer. In reality they're likely a poser.
 
People who try so hard to be different, whether they actually are or not, that they conform to their very own group.
 
They drink shit bear because it tastes like shit, they buy shitty furniture because it looks like shit, they grow neck beards because people think they are gross, they buy super expensive houses and make them look like they are poor with shitty decorating. They are douchey for the sake of being douchey because they think it's cool.
They think they are more real and cool than anyone else because they think they are making the uncool in to cool.
Basically, fuck them.
