Hipster is an older word that has been co-opted more recently to describe a contemporary subculture, so it's not surprising that dictionaries have it wrong. Also, the subculture itself is a little bit difficult to pin down because many of its members (as judged by outside observers) wouldn't identify as hipsters, necessarily. More can be found at Wikipedia, although the page is of mixed quality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_%28contemporary_subculture%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_%28contemporary_subcult...
