Good question.
From what I understand, it's a pejorative term used by people who aren't awesome to refer to awesome people who listen to awesome music, read awesome books, watch awesome movies, wear awesome clothes, and are awesome.
Beyond that, I don't know. I've been called a Hipster. A guy I know who looks like Charles Manson is widely acknowledged as a Hipster.
I guess a consuming sense of irony is the main mark of Hipsterism.
Labels are a bunch of crap anyway. I know that I like people labeled by the mainstream as Hipsters. That's a pretty huge range of people, though.
