Its interesting how different the "hipster" stereotype is from the "hipster" definition. The hipster stereotype is like a person who steals stuff from a bunch of different subcultures, like nerd glasses, plaid and stuff like that (see: Idea Channel's Are You A Hipster? for more talk on this) where the definition is someone who likes things for not being popular. I guess they kind of line up, but its still strange to the point where saying someone is a "hipster" holds almost no meaning.

@OP: Metal Heads like metal. Sometimes that like may derive from some sort of anti-conformist sentiment, but I think most people who could be called "metal heads" just genuinely like the music. Kinda unfair to accuse metal heads of being close minded and elitist. Honestly, we should recognize that these are all just stereotypes anyways and people tend to be more complex than simple stereotypes.
