How do you distinguish between these two demographics and, what are the diagnostic criteria for both categories? Do these groups serve any vital roles within society or do they merely represent an attempt to graft superficial meaning onto an otherwise hollow culture?
"You might be a hipster douche bag if..." jokes might be helpful in answering some of the above questions.

I would agree with your general assertion, but how do you determine which one you are?

hippies are hipsters. hippie is short for hipster. hipsters are people who dress weird and group up.

no. and you are a retard. hippie is short for hippie and is in no way synonymous with hipsters. you can't clump everyone who "dresses weird and groups up" into the category of hipster. and who are you to determine what's weird? that's ridiculous. christ you're stupid.

hippie c.1965, Amer.Eng. usually a disparaging variant of hipster (1941) "person who is keenly aware of the new and stylish," from hip "up-to-date" (see hip (adj.)).

weird [wiəd] adjective odd or very strange

that definition is from 1965 (or possibly 1941) and is no longer relevant. connotations of terms and phrases transform over time to suit the current culture.
and weird, odd, and strange are all completely subjective. what's weird to you is normal to others. and i really doubt that everyone wearing something "weird" in your definition is a hipster.

11 Clues You Are a Hipster 1. You graduated from a liberal arts school whose football team hasn't won a game since the Reagan administration. 2. You frequently use the term 'postmodern' (or its commonly used variation 'PoMo') as an adjective, noun, and verb. 3. You carry a shoulder-strap messenger bag and have at one time or another worn a pair of horn-rimmed or Elvis Costello-tyle glasses. 4. You have refined taste and consider yourself exceptionally cultured, but have one pop vice (ElimiDATE, Quiet Riot, and Entertainment Weekly are popular ones) that helps to define you as well-rounded. 5.You have kissed someone of the same gender and often bring this up in casual conversation. 6. You spend much of your leisure time in bars and restaurants with monosyllabic names like Plant, Bound, and Shine. 7. You bought your dishes and a checkered tablecloth at a thrift shop to be kitschy, and often throw vegetarian dinner parties. 8. You have one Republican friend whom you always describe as being your 'one Republican friend.' 9. You enjoy complaining about gentrification even though you are responsible for it yourself. 10. Your hair looks best unwashed and you position your head on your pillow at night in a way that will really maximize your cowlicks. 11. Your own records put out by Matador, DFA, Definitive Jux, Dischord, Warp, Thrill Jockey, Smells Like Records, and Drag City."
