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".
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.

That, I believe, is the definition intended in the movie. From wikipedia: " The hipster adopted the lifestyle of the jazz musician, including some or all of the following: dress, slang, use of cannabis and other drugs, relaxed attitude, sarcastic humor, self-imposed poverty and relaxed sexual codes." That doesn't describe the Powers character entirely, but it would sort of fit Dr. Evil's own 'un-hip, aged' attitude t…

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.

s/girl/woman/
Genuine question: is girl perceived as a derogatory term? If so, what should someone use? Woman feels very formal to me. What's the female equivalent of "guy" if not "girl"?
I'm not sure why "girl" is seen as derogatory, especially since I've never met a woman who minded it. This is a broad generalization, but in my experience, the only ones that seem to mind are adolescents who would prefer to be called a woman over girl because this differentiation matters to them. Women are usually secure about their adulthood, and don't feel threatened being called a girl in an informal setting. While girl technically refers to a child or an immature woman, in common slang, it has simply become the female equivalent of "guy."
Of course, "chick," "babe," etc are derogatory because they are slang meant to objectify/sexualize the woman. I don't feel the same is true of "girl."
I find it fascinating though how such a simple word can be interpreted in so many ways, and can completely change the tone of a sentence.
Seems somebody has decided "7450px ought to be enough for anybody" (div#video_header)... what about dual T221s? ;-)

Could it be that hipsters are unaware they are hipsters?
I'm sadly inept at dressing competently, so I envy those finely dressed people.
It's a shame that patriciomolina's comment [0] is dead. It was a good catch! "Nice!
