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!

Kev m:
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.
Semper-guzzi:
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.
Penderic:
Good music format for you bongo loving vinyl flipsters!
Journey back to the time of exposed valve train on early Moto Guzzis and percussion music .... oh so cool daddy oh!
