whats does being a hipster really mean?

Well urban dictionary defined it: "The modern hipster is a composite of individuals with a certain bohemian life situation and lifestyle. He or she rejects "mainstream" culture and embraces and contributes to independent culture, and prides him/herself on this. The modern hipster image has been proliferated through the internet, publications such as Vice Magazine, and sightings in the music, fashion, and art world. The image of the hipster is constantly changing, but several aspects have stayed constant over time. Lives in a young, artsy neighborhood of a major city such as Wicker Park in Chicago, Greenwich Village in Manhattan, or Williamsburg in Brooklyn."
Honestly now a days calling yourself a Hipster is totall bullshit. I see Girls on facebook who are in seventh grade posting pictures of themselves smoking weed, wearing "hipstering clothing" and/or acting like they just dont give a shit. Then people comment saying 'yo you're mad hipstery and cool !' and i just get confused. how can a twelve year old fit the steriotype of a hipster. This shouldnt make sence. But the picture says alot.
Is this being a Hipster?
By wearing vintage clothing, or just shopping at urban outfitters, thrift stores, or american apperal make you one?
