Google and Urban dictionary don't suggest there needs to be an element of trickery or posery:

Google:
Urban Dictionary (too long to quote):

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hipster

It's funny ... the "Urban Dictionary" definition looks like it was written by a poser wishing he could be SO COOL and call himself a hipster.

I consider the sort of people described in either one of those definitions the fakest of the fake.   Following the latest "trends" like a bunch of shaggy sheep while turning their noses down at people who "don't get" their uniform culture of non-conformism!

Meh, if it makes someone happy to follow trends, great. No harm. That doesn't mean they are fake, perhaps a tad superficial, but not necessarily fake.

Though the definition does seem to suggest this "trend" is a trend about being anti-trend. At least anti-commercial and uninfluenced by media.

I think a number of Guzzisti would likely self-identify with that isolated definition/trait.

This is the second definition on UD.

"Hipster
Definitions are too mainstream.
Hipster's can't be defined because then they'd fit in a category, and thus be too mainstream."

About sums it up.
