If I had to distill the hipster ethos to a few buzzwords, it's be a relatively affluent predominantly white predominantly male, predominantly urban individual whose actions are prompted by a sense of irony and attention getting. They seek to project a sense that being distinctive is in their nature.
Could be a meticulously outlandish beard, a villain's curly mustache, socks over corduroys, curated coffee, insistence on smoking in public, a pipe jutting jauntily from their lips, an old time big wheel in front bicycle, a pork pie hat, any number of things or combination of things.
Whatever gives the sense of 'I have given this careful consideration, and have chosen to display myself different from the mainstream, but in a retro non-threatening manner.'
