Hipster used to mean someone who was hip. It meant this before the flower-power "hippies"
"Hip" used to mean someone who was cool around drugs and druggies.

At this point, everyone seems to have their own definition of the word. For me, a hipster is pretty much a tryhard.. a bandwagoner who constantly chases the next trend.
But sometimes I just use it to describe someone who is being edgy and a contrarian.
I'm aware that a part of the hip hop movement was to stay "hip" though.
