Hey look! People who live in New York who are fashionable and young. Better call them hipsters.
Is that not the definition of a hipster?!?!

I suspect that a real hipster wouldn't be seen dead working for Kickstarter, they're so mainstream these days. Aside: I was watching Austin Powers the other day (it's fun, sue me)- Dr. Evil calls Austin an "aging hipster", using the actual real real definition of the term. Funny how words can change in a relatively short space of time.
Define "real real definition". My understanding is that "hipster" was original a jazz subculture term from the 40s; as "hip" came to be a more popular term than "hep", people who used to be "hep cats" became "hipsters".

Lenny Bruce would probably agree with you.

Do we call people who can dress hipsters now? That seems misguided.
Nope, just people who dress like hipsters.
People who can dress somewhat competently and/or wear the current fashion are hipsters? You are making no sense. All I see are a bunch of normally dressed people. Nothing special.

Wikipedia agrees with you. This is a term that has undergone so many transformations in such a short time that it's completely pointless to argue about its "true" meaning anymore.
