Colin shared this with me and I'm sharing it with you.
A website (Colin) shamefacedly frequent(s) primarily because it is in the same family of websites as kotaku has decided that hipsters need a new name. They have narrowed it down from twenty to five possibilities:
Doucheoisie
Plus: Was the most popular option, winning 25% of the vote. Sounds pretty.
Minus: Does it really describe hipsters, in particular? Also: Due to our nominal "douche" ban, we might have to enforce its use only in shortened "Schwazzie" form.
Fauxhemians
Plus: Really rolls off the tongue (sexxxily).
Minus: Is it mean enough?
Pabstsmears
Plus: Cleverly references PBR.
Minus: Takes extraordinarily exact pronunciation to distinguish it from a more all-purpose slur.
Probos (professional hobos)
Plus: Pithy; easy to say; might actually catch on.
Minus: What percentage of hipsters are professionals?
Trendsluts
Plus: Deliciously zingy.
Minus: Might offend sluts.

I like the first two and think the fifth is good, but not as clever.
More cutting though...
Whatever the worlds decides, I'll still call them trendy pseudo-intellectual assholes.
