A nigga that buys all the hottest shoe releases and also wears name brand shit like supreme, Diamond and more but the point is hype-beasts don't know shit about that brand and just wears it to fit in and be "cool".

BASICALLY AN ATTENTION WHORE. DONE.

A person who follows a trend to be cool or in style.
A person who wears what is hyped up.

a hypebeast is an individual that rocks whatever brand or style might be trending at the time. they choose clothes specifically to impress others. if an individual wears LRG, nike SB, levis, etc. theyre not necessarily a hypebeast, if they purchase what they enjoy and dont buy shit based on everyone elses opinion, then they just have their swag locked the fuck down

Someone who wears certain brands of clothing or footwear because it's "hyped". Hypebeasts are often bi-sexual, though they will never admit it.

A stuck-up, self-centered young person who only wears hyped up streetwear brands including Stussy, Crooks & Castles, Orisue ect. Hypebeasts are often sneakerheads with a generic sense of style that often entails wearing neon colored sb dunks paired with new era fitted hats and god awful all over print hoodies and jeans so tight that they cut off the wearer's circulation to the brain. Hypebeast fashion sense is loosely based on the classic urban fashion sense of the 90s & 80s. But these hipster streetwear kids always O.D. on retro style. How are you gonna be born in 1991, and dress like you are a teenager in 1984? Most hypebeasts get their carbon-copied style from magazines like Complex and online forums dedicated to such streetwear.

Hypebeasts usually live in and around the urban centers of Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City and D.C. However, many cities across the country including Baltimore, Philly and the rougher boroughs of NYC (i.e. Brooklyn) maintain their distinct local urban style which differs greatly from the semi-homosexual hypebeast style. Since many hypebeasts hail from soft, posh suburban environments, they would probably get stomped the fuck out by twenty different pairs of Timberland boots and Air force 1's if they dare tread in the ghettos of such cities.

Although hypebeasts come from all different racial backgrounds, more often then not, most hypebeasts are Filipino or some other type of Asian because most of the hypebeast fashion brands were founded by Asians from California (i.e. Crooks & Castles, The Hundreds and LRG). This is a very recent social phenomenon because back in the 90s, urban fashion was usually strictly worn by blacks, latinos and certain whites who actually lived in urban areas.

a fag who trys to impress others by rocking hyped up shit. they also tend to be sneakerheads that have no real sense of style, but wear what they think is cool and tell everyone
