Short version - (also from UrbanDictionary.com)
hipster - 2. Hipster's can't be defined because then they'd fit in a category, and thus be too mainstream.
3. Someone who listens to bands you've never heard of, wears ironic tee-shirts, and believes they are better than you.
In other words - if since you asked, you must not be a hipster.

#2 is perfect. And yeah, the "listens to bands you've never heard of" takes care of half of Seattle, and most of Portland. Except for people who maybe appreciate the occasional Kanye/Katy Perry/Disco/80s "ironically." I swear, everyone I know listens to alternative or public radio here (myself included, but I also listen to Top 40 and country).
If you've ever watched the IFC show "Portlandia," it is filled with hipsters. Here's one example - notice all the glasses (Wieden + Kennedy is really Nike's advertising agency):
