Still im in LA don't call me a hipster it doesn't mean the same thing here. Its a savage diss calling someone a disingenuous poser and scenster who cares more about the scene than the art or culture. Fuck that and fuck them

It's not a compliment. It's an insult, but a lot of folks describe themselves as hipsters and associate it with being cool.
the LA version might be spot on. I don't know. I some piece on Flipboard where characters from the Simpsons, Bob's Burgers and other cartoon shows were drawn as "hipsters." There were a lot of handle bar mustaches, and one of large-wheeled early 20the century French bicycles.
I don't have any idea what the fuck it "really" means. But if someone's going to call me that, I'm not going to get upset about it. I don't go nuts over microbrews, I don't ride my bike in the city, I don't wear or own a single set of suspenders, and I don't fit any of the other stereotypes that seem to currently define hipsterdom, but I've been called a hipster simply because of my taste in music and my level of activity in local music scenes. If "hipster" is the right word to describe people who are into what I'm into, then so be it.
I'm just choosing not to be offended about it.
