LATFH

Check out this awesome website that avid reader William sent over to us called Look at this F*cking Hipster. It features daily pictures of all sorts of non-trend setters being "trendy". Check out this definition of the "contemporary hipsters" of today from Wikipedia -

Hipster is a slang term which appeared in the 1940s. In the 1990s and 2000s it was used in various, sometimes contradictory ways, often to describe types of young, recently-settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers with interests in non-mainstream fashion and culture, particularly alternative music, independent rock, independent film, magazines such as Vice, and Clash, and websites like Pitchfork Media. In some contexts, hipsters are also referred to as scenesters. The term is sometimes used in a derogatory manner, referring to someone who moves from trend to trend while claiming to be outside of mainstream culture.

And here are a few examples of Hipsters from the LATF website.
