Although so many hipsters seem to be anti-mainstream, these hipster lifestyle innovations prove that this subculture sets many of today's biggest trends--proof positive that it’s safe to trust today’s hipster with helping to define cool.

From faux retro hipsters to hipster-approved eateries, check out these very cool (but not so cool that lame mainstreamers know about them) hipster lifestyle innovations.
