==Context Labels==
This alang is predominantly used among Christian groups, although a member outside of the Christian community will be able to use "Hipster Christian" if they understand what it actually means. Within Christian organizations, nearly 2/3 have heard the phrase "Hipster Christian," yet don't use it very often, indicating that perhaps this is a very situation-specific word, or the phrase itself isn't used by a majority of Christians often. <ref> Data taken from an informal survey conducted among 96 members of various Christian groups on Northwestern's campus. </ref>

Definition

Hipster Christians "people with esoteric interests going against the grain," according to Brett McCracken, author of Hipster Christianity: When Church and Cool Collide in an NPR interview on December 23, 2013.[1] Hipster Christians have a renewed emphasis on aesthetics and beauty and culture, and integrate that into the church and worship. Examples range from Rend Collective, a Christian worship band who uses any instrument that makes a cool sound (Including a "Jingling Johnny"[2]), and Christians who try to find obscure verses in the Bible that "aren't your typical John 3:16."

Example Sentence

"So I was having QT this morning in that coffee shop you've probably never heard of, total Hipster Christian moment..."
